> Where is the hacker spirit here? Kind of silly to buy apple devices (especially iphone) and expect to be able to hack their services. Apple is the last place to look for hacker friendly products. Ffs you can't even run your own software on an iPhone. Spend your hacker energy somewhere worthwhile, on devices and platforms that welcome that kind of tinkering (or at least tolerate it). There are so many relatively open messaging services. Telegram has a rich API and bots framework. Much more hacker like to build something interesting on that. People trying to force imessage are just fighting a battle that is already lost. Why spend time and energy on something that will perpetuate closed ecosystems even if they succeed?
