What is the difference between “Read” and “Delivered” when sending an iMessage?

Sometimes when I send an iMessage, it will show “Read” in fine print under my message. Other times, it might say “Read” or nothing at all. What do these terms really mean?

Pretty much what the words mean. Read, means the recipient has read the message. Sent means the message was sent, but not necessary read by the recipient. It also means that in Settings > Messages you have Read Receipts turned on.
