Questions For Apple

I received a bunch of text messages from my uncle in Arizona in the early hours and I thought it was too late for me to respond because the photographs were for my family to see. Most of them were asleep, so I wanted to wait until they had all seen the snaps before I responded.

'I'll reply when I wake up in the morning,' I thought to myself.

After thinking that, I wondered 'maybe I should wait until later in the day' because of the eight-hour time difference.

But then I came to another conundrum - what if I forget to send the reply in the afternoon?

And then it struck me.

On iPhone, it's possible to schedule emails. Why hasn't Apple introduced a facility to schedule text messages?!

I am sure I am not the only person to have ever thought of it. 

Wouldn't this be something the consumer would want?
