The iMessage monopoly is actually a good point.
I switched to a PC for quality/value reasons recently after waiting too long for update to Mac Pro.
Everyday I hate that I don't have iMessage on this machine. And my phone is constantly propped up against my screen so I can stay connected to my text messages.
I had no idea how much this would effect me and if I can find a third party solution that connects me to iMessage I will probably be switching back soon.
- ryanmonroe 9y agoOne of the features of iMessages is that they're encrypted and can't be unencrypted by anyone but the Apple-authenticated recipient. This has the downside that the only way to access those messages on non-Apple devices is to create some kind of man-in-the-middle attack.
- brazzledazzle 9y agoUnless Macs have a secure enclave I don't think there's anything about that encryption that requires Apple devices.
