I just noticed something strange in the screenshot. It seems to imply that Magic will work over iMessage. As far as I know, there is no publicly available API for iMessage so I'd be curious to know how this works.
- nier 11y agoSetting up a Mac to programmatically send iMessages is trivial. I have a custom solution running that receives data over HTTPS and runs an AppleScript to send the specified text to the desired number or address via the Messages app using an iCloud account not tied to any mobile phone number.
- rahimnathwani 11y agoIf they were using a regular phone number, they could achieve this by using the Messages app on iOS, and controlling it with AppleScript.

- dennisnedry 11y agoIt's an SMS, not specific to iMessage.
- asadm 11y agothe blue message bubble is iMessage specific.
- iancarroll 11y agoIt's evidently photoshopped, based on the message bubble padding. Definitely just an error.
- tbrock 11y agoOr on purpose since since the blue messages are meant to look better with the UI so that you prefer using iMessage when possible.
- Reedx 11y agoThen the messages would be green. I'm curious about this as well (unless they're just photoshopped). When I was experimenting with Twilio that was the only aspect that was a little disappointing. I wanted blue messages. :)
- firloop 11y agoPretty sure they're just photoshopped and they don't use iMessage in reality. The font/kerning/size/alignment looks off from here.
