So I send text messages to a landline phone that
doesn't receive text messages and the iphone
does not acknowledge the failed messages, it
makes it appear that the messages exist.

Formerly, explicit warnings were given when
trying to text to a landline.

So this is a regression. The iphone shows
messages as being sent that weren't.

This was answered in your post you sent yesterday.

They were. SMS doesn't guarantee delivery at the network level. It's fire
and forget.

iMessage messages do show a "delivered" tag, however.

I have never had this happen for me. But if it used to work for you
maybe the landline number you sent it to was on the same network (ATT,
VZ) as your phone and your cellular service recognized it thus sending
you a failed notification.

The only difference I see is that I used to get
warnings that texts cannot be sent to a particular
phone number, but now there's no warnings and the
iphone pretends to have sent texts when it didn't.

I don't know the date when this changed, but I
noticed it recently, not knowing if the recipient
numbers I texted recently were cell or landline.
I also have a landline to test it with. The texting
to landline fails silently.

Talk to your phone company. We try to tell you that is has nothing to do
with the iPhone.
