>When sending an SMS message, the allowed character count drops from 160 to just 70 as soon as an apostrophe is added within the body of the text message. As a result, you could be charged for sending two texts rather than one.
>Apple says this is a known bug affecting its ‘Smart Punctuation’ feature, which is a system that automatically swaps some forms of punctuation with other forms that are more suitable.
>When the feature used, the apostrophe makes the phone send the characters of the text encoded in 16-bit format, rather than the normal seven-bit. This means that a single text can carry fewer characters.
Not a mactoddler, but this is irrelevant: most phone plans include unlimited texting, even prepaid plans. Also, most mactoddlers are using iMessage IM anyway

Or Telegram, which is properly cross-platform and has more features.
Xavier Bell
>apple users never shill on Sup Forums Fuck yeah they do, they're just incredibly boring and forgettable like most other shillposts.
All of the screeching is mostly just wannabe master baiter newfags like OP who don't know anything about technology and just want attention.
Bentley Price

This triggers me most of all.
Use UTF-8 you imbeciles.
Ethan Nguyen
This. Only people I know who use whatsapp are androidfags (poorfags).
It does, but they just relay messages thru ur phone for some reason
Isaiah Wilson
Whatsapp has a desktop version that only works if your phone is connected to your network

Not only for attention, for cooling also. For some reason that was enough to stop it from throttling.

no wait, I take that back, even in 2003 I had unlimited texts...

>charged more >for texting It literally costs the same amount of money to the end user to send 1 text as it does a billion texts.
Matthew Morris
There is only one acceptable means to encode text, and that is UTF-8.
Justin Wood
tfw every text message costs 0.07€ its cheaper for me to just call someone and say what i meant to write in the message.
Kayden Rogers
it is if you dont want to waste money every month for shit that you dont need.
Chase Kelly
Only in a few countries that is the norm, but not in most places of the world.
Nathan Flores
>reduced character count >2 messages What kind of street shitter wrote this? It DOUBLES the size of the message because of UTF-16, It doesn't "half" the character count, unless he means the character limit.
Ryder Cox

Chase Morris
Isn't that a bug in SMS and like from decades ago? I got that every time I included an accent, suddenly 2 SMS were charged if I was grammatically correct
Colton White
who even writes text messages like that.. the limit is too low to say anything meaningful anyway
Jackson Green
>YOU ARE TEXTING WRONG
Blake Taylor
>used an apostrophe stop being so pedantic faggot
Colton Reyes
I have a hunch there's a correlation between unlimited SMS and not shitting in streets.
Joseph Rodriguez
it was enough, like double of a tweet or something
I'm just remembering, I don't use SMS anymore, but I do recall it's a very old bug
Jeremiah Lopez
I hate this feature so much much on OS X. God only knows why they implemented it, probably it was a womans idea.
>be inna Terminal >writing a shell/python script >Enter ' >Gets replaced with `
This feature was clearly created by someone who never worked in IT at all.
Luke Butler
>us servers >secure AIIIIDS
Josiah Gonzalez
idk but i hate writing text messages because the limit is so small that i have to really think before writing it and use weird words or just type like a retard to not go over the tiny limit. its also cheaper to have something where you pay for usage if you arent using it 24/7 because the monthly fee of just having the sim is higher.
Andrew Edwards

I don't, that's how I spend maybe 15€ per year on mobile phone bills. I have unlimited data at home instead and WLAN pretty much everywhere I bother to spend enough time to browse on my phone.
Christian Morgan
Where do you guys fucking live? I pay 15 euros a month, free unlimited calls to every single EU country, unlimited sms, and 4G mobile net unlimited in my country. Jesus fuck why do you guys let them fuck you right in the ass.
Gabriel Foster
Sounds to me like they hired a bunch of recent grad UX Artisans who microdose LSD at work and can't manage to get through a single release cycle without a myriad of low hanging fuck ups making it into production.
Hudson Diaz
usa has had unlimited calls, texting, and long distance for years now. The last time I heard of anyone having limited text was well over a decade ago.
Aiden Howard
Clearly no coders actually use macbooks for anything productive
Carter Gomez

Hudson Allen
redmi 4x owner here, apple buyers still pay for text messages? >2018
Nathaniel Scott
This is irrelevant now because all plans (should) have texting for free. But in 2009 I had this slide out keyboard phone and it had that weird apostrophe character that changed the text size to 70 characters. Solution was to just not use it.
Jeremiah Adams
>the apostrophe makes the phone send the characters of the text encoded in 16-bit format, rather than the normal seven-bit. Firstly, who the FUCK actually uses 7bit ascii over 8bit? And secondly, don't they fucking use UTF8 or something? What the fuck?
Julian Barnes
yea but the average usafag pays almost 100 dollars per month for that
Jack Ward
>Wanting to be able to encode foreigner runes 8bit ASCII is the only acceptable character encoding.

I think Telegram must be my favorite app ever. You can even use it like a small cloud for yourself abd it works flawlessly on desktop and phone.
Angel Murphy

Jonathan Phillips
>but most people consider that a lot of money to pay monthly for a phone subscription It is, I bet 10€ subscription of Internet gives you more time and text if you gonna exclusively use Internet.
