- crazygringo 2y agoI fail to see any connection whatsoever between Maps and iMessage. Regardless of what you think of iMessage, Maps is beta and it works on Windows in Edge and in Chrome. So this is clearly not being restricted to Apple devices or to Apple browsers.
- standardUser 2y agoIt's about the attitude. WE (Apple) gets to decide what how and where you use our products and services that you pay for. YOU (the paying user) will do as we say. Also, what is with the fanboy defense of the richest corporation in the world? If they want to defend their shitty sales tactics they can afford to pay for it.
- crazygringo 2y agoLiterally every software developer makes decisions about what platforms to support and not, and when. This is not an Apple thing. Also: > Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
