I pay for iMessage, I mean. Which is to say, it’s part of the system that users buy. Part of iOS. Etc edit: I mean hell, i certainly don't pay Apple for hardware. You might argue i do, but i don't actually have access to the hardware - right? It's not like a PC where each component has value to me, that it's documented and hackable, etc. Nono, you buy the suite - everything, when you buy an iPhone. If not for iOS, iPhone is a nearly useless undocumented brick.
