One question: Who owns iMessage? Who pays to run the servers? Who pays for the bandwidth?
Do you allow your neighbors to use your yard and driveway that you pay for?
- skeaker 3y agoIf I had billions of dollars and a yard the size of a small country I probably wouldn't mind...
- baq 3y agoI postulate people would gladly pay a cup of coffee's worth for a first party app and/or subscription. Certainly easier than shelling out a few hundred bucks for an iDevice.
- criddell 3y agoThat’s kind of what I think. Make an iCloud subscription tier that includes access to messages and then include it in the web-browser version of iCloud and make an Android app for messages. I can’t imagine it would have to cost much more than $10-$15.
- warkdarrior 3y agoThis would be an Apple service. It'd cost $99/month to view the text of messages on non-iPhone devices, and an additional $99/month to view any photos/videos/emojis attached to messages.
- Apocryphon 3y agoThe base plan for iCloud+ is 99 cents a month and the next tier is $2.99, they're pretty reasonable about these services.
- wiseowise 3y ago> Who pays to run the servers? Who pays for the bandwidth? I f%$@ing do. I paid when I bought an iPhone, Mac and iPad. And even if it’s not enough - provide it as a service for a fee.
