I'd say it's people using Apple that break group chats, since Apple doesn't utilize SMS/MMS correctly.

Not Android's fault that Apple butchers MMS quality.

Though carriers have some culpability here, even if a carrier allowed higher quality MMS (Verizon), iPhone still wouldn't use that capability, while Android can if configured to do so.

It's not the Iphone users getting picked on in schools.
