The Apple iPhone is a model of elegant design, high technology, powerful mobile computing -- and extremely limited customization. The text message layout is no exception. Apple provides no built-in way to change the color or layout of the default text bubbles on the iPhone. You can turn to several aftermarket apps for a solution.
