It really is amazing. I dearly wish Apple would open it up to the everyone else. Great when I need to talk to someone iPhone to iPhone or whatever, but I don’t understand why they don’t just move to replace all these services — the protocol is amazing and apple could be a global default.
I don’t get the strategy.

- etempleton 3y agoYes, this could change as Apple pushes further into services, but for Apple, services are largely in support of physical products. Their services help create a moat. You buy iPhone, iPad, whatever, you get access to a whole bunch of unique software and services. It is the same strategy BlackBerry had with Blackberry messenger, it was a differentiator.
