It's still an iPhone issue of butchering quality when sending over MMS. Carriers are partly to blame, but even on Verizon which has no apparent MMS size limit, iPhones till butcher images.

See my other comments. I've tested this. It's Apple making anything non-iMessage seem inferior. Not that they have to, but it makes people think iPhone is superior when it's by design.
