  1. I don't want to be rude, but that chatting app looks absolutely terrible, like it's slow and it doesn't even load images properly, they are weirdly cropped in and you have to tap on them to see them in full size. I don't know, it looks awful. The fact that from a privacy side it looks shady as hell is only the cherry on top.

  2. its only american using iMessage. whatsapp is the main message app outside US. google and other mobile carrier wanted to use new EU digital market act to force apple iMessage available on google playstore, and there is good chance they gonna success with this new DMA like what happened to usbc.

  3. This strategy will work, there are many people who don't like to be in a walled garden, they would love to try this. About the security risk, only used the apple id for messaging, anyway the messages are encrypted and already none cares about the privacy of the messages, if they did they would have used some apps like Signal.

  4. It's the Americans again with their standards. Just use whatsapp, telegram, signal, discord etc. There are dozens of these messengers. But no, they chose the worst messenger, which by default can not be used by half of the country's population. And there are plenty of moments like this in the United States. Everywhere you look, they have their own standards, which in most cases are not even logical. It's very discouraging.

  5. You think people will just gonna buy a No Brand phone because they might support iMessage? Most people would just go to the nearest Apple Store and pick up any iPhone they want and use it for 2-3 years lol that's because of how much they trusted Apple products lol

  6. I love tech (especially mobile) and at my age (42) caring about what my friends have is not even on my radar. The pressure the youth feels on having iPhones sounds like a nightmare and I use both Android and iOS (daily driver is Android).

  7. We can only hope that EU will fix this by forcing Apple to implement RCS. It is an absolute shame that regulators let these monopolies or duopolies go rampant.

  8. Once they attempt to copy/"adopt" everything from the iPhone, what happens next? Does everyone just suddenly be like "we did it boys, competition is no more" and everybody goes back to waiting till apple does something again?

    Goofy ahh desperation.

  9. Would be interesting if Apple is digging their own grave here. In the rest of the world they're also doing very well, but not so well that people are basically forced to use iPhones.

  10. 6:40 Your concern here is valid. Many, many attack vectors on data rely on the weakest component in security which is often times the human-based interaction such as a Mac Mini in a server farm with employees.
