What do you mean by get around their lock in? You mean that only Apple users can use iMessage?
How do you think Apple pays is for that? It’s subsidized through device cost.
I get why people hate the App Store rules and no side loading, etc. but that’s a different situation in my mind.
Why should Apple have to give Android users free service?
- bhelkey 3y ago> Why should Apple have to give Android users free service? Who said anything about free? Apple could charge Android users.
- MBCook 3y agoThat’s fair. No one has said free. But I have a sneaking suspicion the instant Apple releases a paid Android app HN would be having this exact same discussion, except complaining it’s not free.
- bhelkey 3y agoI cannot say how HN would respond but Beeper's whole business model is charging users for iMessage.
