I think the flaw was mentioned in the first sentence of the parent's response: "XMPP lacks a fundamental feature: it does not echo your messages back to your other devices." This capability was indeed one of the major selling points of Apple's messaging system in the most recent iOS & OS X releases. If XMPP cannot keep track of multiple clients then that is a huge flaw in todays mobile world.
- ge0rg 11y agoUnfortunately it is not true. XEP-0280 [0] (Message Carbons; since 2010) forwards your conversation to all your online clients, and XEP-0313 [1] (Message Archive Management; since 2012, but only recently implemented) allows a client to "catch up" with the history when it goes online.
