But there
is something absolutely wrong in the way aPple treats text. Reading can be done with an iPhone and an iPod, it is proven. They blatantly went out of their way to castrate texts to ridiculous lengths... 4k; its the longest you can have them in Notes. There has to be something major behind such a decision. It can not be of ignorance, they are learned.
