In this context, yes. But I can also mean that the device could not be reached or the recipient switched to android. But for the sake of the joke it means they were blocked.
iMessage uses it’s own protocols and shit that are proprietary, and uses the standard sms protocol as a fallback. Android can use something called RCS which catches up feature wise, but doesn’t play nice with apple.
It’s to create an illusion of exclusivity and therefore social pressure to use an apple device.
This isn’t technically wrong, but to be clear, iMessage is closed source. No one can play nice with Apple, in that regard.
RCS on the other hand is a more open standard that anyone is free to implement and use. It just doesn’t come with end-to-end encryption as a part of the standard.
It means the message was sent as an SMS rather than via Apple’s internet chat protocol. There’s also a whole thing that when you write with Android users, they always get green bubbles.
Not familiar with apple - does the last message being sent as a (green) text mean he got blocked?

I started laughing because i thought the exchange somehow led to them switching to an android phone towards the end 😅
Everyone knows you gotta use a Motorola to play Fortnite!

I guess, this could still mean that you’ve been blocked and it then tries to deliver via SMS, but I have no idea…
iMessage doesn’t give any indication of your blocked. It doesn’t even bother trying to resend as sms if the recipient blocks you
