What possible benefit could apple get from iMessage for Android? It wont help them sell more of their own products so why should they put in efforts on a Droid version.
- pharmakom 6y agoLeverage over android users. If iMessage became dominant on Android, Apple can make the experience just a little bit better on iOS to encourage people to switch.
- Jcowell 6y agoSeems like more work (having 2 code based for two different OSes) for little reward.
- pharmakom 5y agoApple can afford it and the reward is potentially huge! Consider it an advertising spend.
- Jcowell 5y agoI honestly don’t see a reward for developing a non monetized application on another platform. Especially so if it’s going to just be a stripped version (no Apple Pay, no Find My integration) and they would lose users in doing so.
