I think this video also explains why Snapchat is so popular amongst kids in my generation. The emotional attachment you get from seeing someone’s face constantly is just different than seeing their bubble.
Only USA still uses SMS for daily communication, the rest of the world uses SMS only for 2FA tokens and some transactional notifications. It is normal to have at least 3 or 4 messaging apps installed, and it's not a big deal to use them all
I live in canada and true i still need sms text Message for account code or whenever i need to sell some of my crypto ( security reason ) . I find it redundant when we are living in the age of internet and we still rely on sms for extra verification step and all that can we just solve it to like an email or some app that actually use wifi? Bruh i already paid for wifi I don't wanna pay more for phone sms .... Redundant and more money waste monthly
Worst thing in Thailand we’re got spamming on iMessage more often…(few people in my knowledge actually use iMessage) SMS in Thais use the same way as you said. LINE messaging behave like default ways to chat for Thais and some other apps along side.
I knew you from Android Authority initially, and now from Marques’s team, but I’m surprised it took me this long to find your personal channel. You’re putting out some great stuff on here.
Interesting to see what a huge deal the bubble is, here in Switzerland I‘ve never heard or had a text interaction about the bubble. iMessage is basically never used here, Wahtsapp mainly.
@@malithaw China and Japan my ass! They have their own native app for texting each other, even though China and Japan have alot of iPhone user but iMessage is irrelevant , Japanese use Line for communication , chinese yall know damn well they are not going to use services from USA they have their own QQ and Wechat . Can't believe you drag China and Japan into this 🤣
I usually don't comment but... I really connected with this video. I relate so much with the part that "texts don't properly convey emotions but only the information". It is inherently one of the worst ways of human communications. The depth a conversation can go to without talking and just with expressions and body language can never be totally translated through any other means of communication. Video calls, Future AR Communication or some other method won't work. I have so much to talk about and RUclips comments are definitely one of the worst ways to get an emotion through. Anyways, have a good one 🎂.
David, you just might have produced my single favorite video content of 2022. Interesting how it all stirs back to communication since it is a smartphone. Communication comes first, then it's information. Boolean Algebra Chart ✅ Information Theory Reference ✅ "Her" movie montage ✅ Beautiful musical scores ✅ Combined math, cs, psychology, & history ✅ I understand why it takes you a while to make content, but don't settle for less. Continue making this fantastic work!
I was awake at 3PM with Insomnia the sound of David's voice and the background calm music helped me sleep. Now I'm back to watching the video. Thanks, David!
It's kinda crazy how much of a communication barrier iMessage creates by not being cross platform. My family doesn't use iMessage and sms because we've found other apps work better for group messages for us but I see where this could be a huge problem for college age kids.
Interesting you mention Shannon not getting mentioned. I did Electronic Engineering at a university in the UK and he did come up, but more in relation to the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem which was important in the signals module and some of the Boolean logic (although that was more generalised since I did FPGA and micro-controller design). But interesting watch! Thank you!
This was excellent David thank you, I really apprecaite how thoughtfully you analyzed this. The sad and frustrating thing to me is how many people can't look past the limitation and use another platform, they reduce it to the lowest common denominator saying stuff like, "Why don't you just get an iPhone?" Rather than choosing one of the myriad options (telegram, whatsapp etc.) When the reality may be a million reasons people choose android. It may just suit them better due cost, flexibility, taste whatever. But generally the "why don't you just get an iPhone?" folks don't think past the convenience with which they can communication their feeligns to think about why someone else might prefer or need to choose something else and approach with kindness or empathy. It's tough that it's easier for people to essentally say, "Spend money so it's easier for me to communicate the way I want to." Rather than "Yeah I could take 10 seconds to set up and use an app that is free so we can both communicate better together!" hmmmpffff I'll step off my soapbox now. Hahaha. Thanks again for your great video.
That's because while so many avoid stating the obvious for fear of not being politically correct, Americans are lazy and they value convenience and ease of use above all else. No other country has more iPhone users and accepts being told what's best for them more than the US. I could explain the pros of a default app alternative till I'm blue in the garage but if it involves downloading, signing up then trying to convince friends and family to do the same then that's too much work, they'll accept the default.
@@ArthurZakaryan23 While iPhones are far more heavily used in the US I don't see it as a problem unique to the US or because people are just particularly lazy, that ignores that fact that iMessage does work well and do what the user wants but signing up for a new service is unfortunately a large barrier for most. They want to just get the phone and use it. The metaphor I've heard before is needing a certain type of gas for your car to get to different locations. It's a pretty big annoyance. I do see your point and believe me I find it frustrating but it's more of a strategic choice on Apple's behalf than just human nature.
Really awesome video David. You hit the nail on the head with explaining why iMessage is so popular that I don't think that other people understand. One thing that I would like to add is read receipts. I love texting my best friend, maybe late at night, and we're just talking about random stuff, and you send a dumb message and it doesn't say "delivered"-- it says "read 11:48 pm". That means that she didn't go to another app, she's actively engaging in a conservation with me. That adds so much to the conservation, especially to the ones you care a lot about. Add in the typing indicator while I'm waiting for her response to my dumb comment and it makes it feel like we're actually having a real conservation. There really isn't a much better feeling than texting someone you care about late at night and you feel like they're right there with you instead of sending a message through a phone. You don't get that with SMS. Maybe you should, and Apple should definitely support RCS, but you just don't get that close feeling when texting with your friend that has an android phone. Unless you move to a different app, which increases the friction SO MUCH.
This is a really interesting point! I actually originally had read receipts on my list but I had removed it because they end up stressing me out and I didn’t see much of a positive in them. But it’s really great to hear that they can help with communication in the way you described. Thank you for sharing!
@@DavidImel What he described is the exact reason why I don’t like read receipts. I like doing different things while I text and I don’t want to feel that I can’t multitask because I’m “stuck” in a conversation.
This video is incredible. It takes me back to a time when I was actually excited by RUclips content. This feels fresh yet nostalgic and timeless at the same time. I wish you weren’t working for marques full time so you could upload more often (even though I really love watching his vids and seeing you on the studio channel!)
This analysis is fantastic. I DESPISE having important conversations via text and have had a lot of falling outs with people I cared about because of the missing context / emotional content. In my country we default to WhatsApp and not having this "bubble color classism", I still find it's very difficult to communicate efficiently only via text. I can imagine it must be pretty rough in the US. Phones are meant to communicate and bring us closer together, but this is a clear case of company greed literally affecting people's relationships. There has to be more regulation towards what the Apples and the Googles and the Samsungs of the world do, their decisions have tremendous impact and I feel like the legal / regulatory aspect of tech is decades behind the technical aspect. Right to Repair is a very good example of this.
I was 15 minutes into the video when I realized his shirt was inside out lol. Great video though. This is the type of content I aspire to one day create.
Dude, congrats! you really are stepping up your videos here, I personally feel this channel is about to become a "vsauce or lemmino like" experience in the tech context, with amazing content, a great script and great production. Keep going
Hey David, was waiting for a new video. I was surprised to see that you haven't been uploading lately.But great job man, learned a lot of things. It was worth the wait! You're a genius!
Wow, I found your channel 2 days ago searching for content about Google's Material You, and I have to say, your videos are absolutely great. Most people already said this but yes, I think only USA still uses SMS as the primary communication tool on mobile phones. Here in Brazil most people are Android users (they are cheaper than an iPhone, which costs around R$8.000) and even iPhone users message through WhatsApp, it's simple and available on any device, even computers.
I am continually impressed that you put out RUclips videos that are basically better and more informative than any paper or presentation I ever did in college. 👍👍
Hey David... Your videos, and I mean ALL OF THEM, are now in my relaxing playlist and that's because of my love for tech, that relaxes me when someone talkes good and in depth about it. Quick suggestion for you: Use J cuts and L cuts to fine tune the momentum of your video. otherwise it's awesome. I'd love to see you in a MKBHD video at some point.
I didn't understand why it is such a big deal. But after watching this, it make sense lot more. I was so surprise how heart emoji can take it differently depending on circumstances. It's even worst cause iPhone and Android users see a differently. Which can lead to a small but big miscommunication. Also.... I really like how you did the background lighting.
Incredible video with very insightful background, thanks David! Come visit Fort Worth, the Stockyards is a lot of fun and there's some awesome food here too.
The amount of thoughts you put into this video is insane, I feel like I need to rewatch some parts just to understand it better. Seriously that's really well done !😯
Greetings from the Uk David 🇬🇧…watched the 1st 5 minutes this morning but stopped as I’ve got a busy day ahead. The quality of your previous videos means I want to watch this in full later this evening (probably with a beer or wine) when I can give it my full attention. You don’t post videos often but in my opinion that makes it more enjoyable to watch & your subject matter, narration & video quality are amazing. Keep up the great work & stay safe & healthy 👍
Incredible video man! Absolutely amazing work. I noticed at around 22:45 there's a phone number visible on the phone on screen. Just wanted to make you aware of it in case it was important.
You're arguably the best tech youtuber when it comes to discussing topics. I'd prefer if you stick to this style where every minute of your video is rich in content. It's super rare to see these days where everyone seems to have filler content.
OMG!!!! This video is so great! I like the way you break down this problem into the level of communication theory. I major in CS, and I never heard Shannon before either. I'm so happy to learn this important person from your video! and btw the paper was cited almost 150000 times, holy!
And a year later, Apple decides to add support for RCS ... but won't happen until 2024. Great video explaining ALL of this. Hopefully you can make a newer video after Apple adds RCS.
O God, O God, if wisdom's light I seek, Let David Imel be the one to speak. In realms of tech, his knowledge vast, An eloquent guide, in clarity cast. 🗿
This was a really well thought out video David. Loved the idea that human communication is Information + emotion. I have a degree in Telecommunications and have studied Information Theory along with the entire race to reduce the number of bits sent that laid the foundation to encryption methods. Apple today is what it is because it knows how to emotionally connect with the consumers to generate a need for their products even when there isn’t one, so it is no surprise that at the core of iMessage also lies an emotional aspect that Apple so dearly wants to hold on to. Looking forward to your next video. Tc!
It's crazy how all of this is obsolete and non-existing in other parts of the world. In Europe almost everyone uses WhatsApp. What is it about the North Americans that draws them so much into not even thinking about other messaging services.
Even worse when you think that that the only government organisation really pushing for consumer rights and open standards atm is the EU. People are seemingly content with monopolistic companies controlling their lives under the guise of a "free market" - which is obviously only free where governers are getting lobbying money and their stocks are going up. I know Google are also one of these companies, but I really hope they add their own "X liked this post" reaction messages because someone needs to force apples hand here, and governments are either too scared or incentivised not to get involved. As a socialist, I'm a pretty big critic of a lot of what the EU have done, but their current stance on privacy, consumer rights and anti-monopolies is uplifting.
Been there done that.. we’re tired of hopping on and off messaging apps, and our SMS was free much earlier. We didn’t NEED messaging services early on. So it’s not a thing we care about much.. plus, WhatsApp/Facebook?! Is that supposed to be better or enticing?
David, new video when? You're amazing at this - I know the views aren't necessarily as good as they could be but you've been one of the 1% of tehctubers who've actually educated me on somethings. So I beg that you find motivation for more content. Thanks!
i am an electrical engineering student, i literally have my book opened on shannon's capacity formula (spending precious time on youtube), and I start watching this
Thanks for this, David. Very insightful. As someone living in Asia where I've probably not received or sent a non-business iMessage or SMS for years (everyone I know is on WhatsApp and Line, most on Messenger, and quite a few on Telegram), I've never really understood all the antagonism directed in the US towards Android phone users. But I think your analysis and conclusion is probably absolutely spot on. It's all about the emotion, rather than the information. You clearly put a lot of very effective thought into this -- kudos to you
I really think that the main thing for me is I psychologically need the 'delivered' tag to show up more than the color itself. the satisfaction of the tag is something I feel like many people don't talk about it much.
I can't speak for other branches but computer science engineering people actually are very familiar with information theory since it's very crucial to a lot of CS topics. That advertising students study it in the first year sure comes as a surprise to me, though! i'm a physics major and information theory is very closely related to thermodynamics but we don't actually really learn it as part of the standard physics curriculum.
Informative video! It's very strange from a non-US perspective to see how much stock a lot of people seem to put into the default apps. For my every day I use Discord for my friends, Facebook Messenger for school and default (SMS or iMessage) for my family.
Hey David, I hope people also look into the server side of RCS. If you're using a carrier variant of the S22 they use carrier specific RCS servers. The AT&T RCS servers can't openly communicate with TMobile or Jibe servers which makes the whole system broken.
I first watched your Pixel video and I was intrigued. Then I spotted you in one of the MKBHD BTS video, I was even more intrigued. Why don't you guys make a collaborative video or something?
Hey David, I believe some people want you to keep making videos just like this one. Personally, I desperately need you to make more videos because I feel like people need a variety of perspectives on various topics, especially about tech, in this world. Some of us value your opinion, please do more. - A Fan
Hi David, had I watched this video earlier then we might have had another round of pizza and a couple more (or a lot more) beers. This is very interesting, a different way of structuring your previous chiaroscuro video, but still, this is very interesting. Actually, I took my Bachelor's degree in communications but more on the journalistic and advertising side. Having this communication explained in another way in this video indeed is very interesting. Nevertheless, nicely done!
I think this video also explains why Snapchat is so popular amongst kids in my generation. The emotional attachment you get from seeing someone’s face constantly is just different than seeing their bubble.
That’s actually something I meant to add into the video but totally forgot to. I made a short about that but never released it 😅
Only USA still uses SMS for daily communication, the rest of the world uses SMS only for 2FA tokens and some transactional notifications. It is normal to have at least 3 or 4 messaging apps installed, and it's not a big deal to use them all
I'd say 1 to 2 messaging apps is the norm around the globe, 3 to 4 is poweruser territory.

Criminally underrated video of yours. Thanks for all the work you put into this.

Great video. SMS vs Web messenger is by-the-by. The breakdown in communication and implicit communication is just brilliant.

Great post and thoughtful content. Your bottom line is correct. Apple has the power to adopt RCS and just isn't willing to do it. Keep doing these!
Fascinating video. I wish David would do more.
Interesting you mention Shannon not getting mentioned. I did Electronic Engineering at a university in the UK and he did come up, but more in relation to the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem which was important in the signals module and some of the Boolean logic (although that was more generalised since I did FPGA and micro-controller design).

Lol at people getting upset with android users instead of apple giving them an intentionally bad user experience

It's crazy how all of this is obsolete and non-existing in other parts of the world. In Europe almost everyone uses WhatsApp. What is it about the North Americans that draws them so much into not even thinking about other messaging services.
Same in Asia with China and Japan being the only two exceptions but then again they both use their own comms apps onstesd of imessagibg
Same in Latin America. Everybody uses Whatsapp, including iphone users.
Even worse when you think that that the only government organisation really pushing for consumer rights and open standards atm is the EU. People are seemingly content with monopolistic companies controlling their lives under the guise of a "free market" - which is obviously only free where governers are getting lobbying money and their stocks are going up.
I know Google are also one of these companies, but I really hope they add their own "X liked this post" reaction messages because someone needs to force apples hand here, and governments are either too scared or incentivised not to get involved.
As a socialist, I'm a pretty big critic of a lot of what the EU have done, but their current stance on privacy, consumer rights and anti-monopolies is uplifting.
Been there done that.. we’re tired of hopping on and off messaging apps, and our SMS was free much earlier. We didn’t NEED messaging services early on. So it’s not a thing we care about much.. plus, WhatsApp/Facebook?! Is that supposed to be better or enticing?
@@orian-x Great. I’m in the USA though. It’s where my family and most contacts are as well, so I speak about that.
You should upload more often! 💙
And happy birthday 💙
David, new video when? You're amazing at this - I know the views aren't necessarily as good as they could be but you've been one of the 1% of tehctubers who've actually educated me on somethings. So I beg that you find motivation for more content. Thanks!

great video! the history going back to WWII was very interesting.
i am an electrical engineering student, i literally have my book opened on shannon's capacity formula (spending precious time on youtube), and I start watching this
Interesting and frustrating at the same time. Hope this will be fixed soon. Thank you for your insight David.
David just elaborated for 22 mins a very basic stuff. Creative and smart guy.
I really appreciate your efforts in this Informative explanation video. Wishing you good luck .❤
Thanks for this, David. Very insightful. As someone living in Asia where I've probably not received or sent a non-business iMessage or SMS for years (everyone I know is on WhatsApp and Line, most on Messenger, and quite a few on Telegram), I've never really understood all the antagonism directed in the US towards Android phone users. But I think your analysis and conclusion is probably absolutely spot on. It's all about the emotion, rather than the information. You clearly put a lot of very effective thought into this -- kudos to you
I felt like I was watching a Veritasium video.
I really think that the main thing for me is I psychologically need the 'delivered' tag to show up more than the color itself. the satisfaction of the tag is something I feel like many people don't talk about it much.
Happy Birthday!!
the fact that Engineering students don’t know about Shannon’s theory but Advertising students study that during the first year of uni is just… wow
I can't speak for other branches but computer science engineering people actually are very familiar with information theory since it's very crucial to a lot of CS topics.
That advertising students study it in the first year sure comes as a surprise to me, though! i'm a physics major and information theory is very closely related to thermodynamics but we don't actually really learn it as part of the standard physics curriculum.
Loved the video. Was the inside out t-shirt intentional though ? 😛
Informative video! It's very strange from a non-US perspective to see how much stock a lot of people seem to put into the default apps. For my every day I use Discord for my friends, Facebook Messenger for school and default (SMS or iMessage) for my family.
Hey David, I hope people also look into the server side of RCS. If you're using a carrier variant of the S22 they use carrier specific RCS servers. The AT&T RCS servers can't openly communicate with TMobile or Jibe servers which makes the whole system broken.
Great contextual explanation!
Glad that RCS is coming to iOS this year 🙂
Happy Birthday Bro 🤗
I first watched your Pixel video and I was intrigued. Then I spotted you in one of the MKBHD BTS video, I was even more intrigued. Why don't you guys make a collaborative video or something?
David works at MKBHD
He works for MKBHD
Hey David, I believe some people want you to keep making videos just like this one. Personally, I desperately need you to make more videos because I feel like people need a variety of perspectives on various topics, especially about tech, in this world. Some of us value your opinion, please do more.

Great video David, I really enjoyed it.
i VOTE ALL TEXT BUBBLES should be PURPLE! :-)
Hi David, had I watched this video earlier then we might have had another round of pizza and a couple more (or a lot more) beers. This is very interesting, a different way of structuring your previous chiaroscuro video, but still, this is very interesting. Actually, I took my Bachelor's degree in communications but more on the journalistic and advertising side. Having this communication explained in another way in this video indeed is very interesting. Nevertheless, nicely done!
My 5 month old son must really like you. He was smiling and babbling at you the whole time!
You should make more videos for your own channel, you are one of my fav tech youtuber.👍👍
Great video David! Thanks for resharing again 👍
But why isn't anyone talking about the shirt being inside out!? 😂
It's clear to see David truly is the "producer" of MKBHD videos. If MKBHD is Drake then David is 40. Or however you want to put that.
fantastic video
