True. Apple definitely playing the long game here, effectively. When iMessage came out I totally didn't see it ever becoming a viable identity play. But with all these privacy concerns, now it feels like the one to beat.
- damnyou 7y agoHow can I access iMessage from my Linux laptop?
- mindgam3 7y agoNot sure if that's possible. iMessage is a mobile first product, so presumably you need an iPhone to start using it. Then a Mac computer. It's definitely a closed system that works great if you buy into Apple's family of products, less great otherwise.
- damnyou 7y agoI know it's impossible. Since I don't have any Apple phones iMessage is useless for me. The vast majority of people in the world are similar to me. Apple's products are not a play for anything. Their services are built for people with more money than sense.
- baroffoos 7y agoThere is an app you can use on a jailbroken ios device that turns it in to a relay/web server which allows you to use imessage on any device. I guess if you really wanted to use it you could just buy an ancient iphone and leave it always plugged in.
