Nice of you to state your option as fact. Now let me try. Compat with Android is “completely insignificant” but magical auto-auth based on Apple ID is the “elephant in the room”. See how that works?
- lxgr 2y agoI meant the opposite: Cross-platform compatibility is what’s sorely missing, and authentication is only a cherry on top, so I don’t think it ought to be a blocker.
- dmitrygr 2y agoThe reason iMessage has less spam than SMS is that it has a cost associated: the cost of an apple device. It is our gated community and we do not want it force-opened to the public. Better?
- lxgr 2y agoNot sure if you’re being ironic, but I use an iPhone too (and as such “own property in the gated community”), and I very much do want iMessage force-opened to the public if that’s what it takes to get Apple to make it interoperable. Compared to a decade ago or two, there are too many silos in communication these days as it is.
