- mirekrusin 4y agoThey never promised or owe to anybody presence on competitor platforms. Personally I prefer they don't do google style starting 100 projects and killing 99 out of them but focus on what they do best. I also can't care less about iMessages on Android, I'm using WhatsApp to ping my wife/family - probably like most.
- giogio 4y agoYeah Federighi made it pretty clear. I'm a little surprised Eddie Cue didn't seem to realize how significant giving up imessage exclusivity could be. But I'm guessing in 2013 there were bigger differences in iPhones vs Android phones, wasn't as clear that eventually it would be a significant reason why someone might choose one over the other. Giving up iMessage in 2013 would be different than giving it up today
