By that logic you're tired of looking at the home screen and the settings pane and the phone app that hasn't changed in years. The only time iOS ever went a major redesign was for iOS 7 which brought us to where we are today after Steve's departure.

But people must get tired of seeing the same thing for years and years
Tired? Not really. It's a tool. Kind of like email is basically black on white text on the screen or anything else like that. I mean I personally don't have anything against there being options for people to change colors or something like that for their use. I guess there might be people who get bored for some reason, but certainly that's not something that applies to everyone or even necessarily the majority.

That all said, in the context of all of this being in iOS, it's partially that Apple doesn't provide as much customization options that is in play here, but likely more so that the particular messaging colors have particular meaning associated with them that is essentially universal across the Apple ecosystem, as mentioned before.

It's a shame that jailbreaking is really the only way to customize this sort of stuff.

At least you get to make choices here. But thanks for your discerning critique. ;)

Remarkabel you have the choice and you choose something that look what a 5 year would like!!!
I´m amazed that people still complain about not be able to change iOS like they want to.
If Apple not have let you change it now they will never do it so live with it or change to Android.

Surely you don't have to jailbreak to change a few colors.

What about changing email font colors? Can I do that?

As in what you use to compose emails? I don't think you can do it from within the Mail app itself, but you should be abele to do it through some other app that offers that and then copy and paste it into an email.

Well we are allowed to change the color of our keyboards, put stickers in our messages. How about changing the text color?

Some people are really bitter, if you don't like what Apple is offering then go elsewhere. Apple isn't holding a gun to your head and making you buy their products SMFH.

First world problems.
