Absolutely hilarious. Did people actually think this was going to be allowed? iMessage is a huge moat and only an act of Congress or a case verdict will force their hand. Maybe the EU legislation might.
- jeroenhd 3y agoApple and the EU don't agree on iMessage's status as a gatekeeper. Apple's argument is that it doesn't have the required amount of users (10% of EU population/10k business users). If they're right and Apple doesn't have the user base, the EU gatekeeper laws won't have an effect on iMessage.
- sbuk 3y ago> Maybe the EU legislation might. Why? iMessage simply does not have the market share enjoyed by WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger or Telegram EU-wide. iMessage was temporarily removed from the DMA in September and noises coming out of the commission favour Apple's stance that it is simply not big enough to warrant inclusion as a gatekeeper for messaging apps.
