"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"

It's obvious they're restricting the quality but it could be that they implemented the MMS handling in 2008, when other phones could only support 3gp and the carriers couldn't handle high bandwidth. I'd bet they haven't bothered to update it since, and do the absolute bare minimum to keep it compliant with the carriers.

With all the so-called innovation and their absurd price tags , you'd think they would've updated it in the last 15 years

Intentional ineptitude resulting from malice is still malice.

My Treo on Verizon in 2006 could send 10mb videos.
