Apple haters: One company shouldn’t have a monopoly on messaging! iMessage should be an open standard. Also Apple haters: Everyone should just use WhatsApp, brought you to by Meta.

Imagine that this was a mall and literally half of the UK population is in this mall This doesn’t even make sense. The mall in this analogy would be the iOS platform, and the stores inside would be the apps. The owner of the mall gets to decide what…

Does the plain RCS standard support E2E encryption, without involving Google at all? As far as I can tell, encryption only works with Google’s proprietary implementation.

Apple will take their time and do it right. And I can almost guarantee you that it won’t just be some chat app or a button you push, like what every other company is rushing to do with their existing products. “Click a button and write and email!” I…

Durov is the guy who lied and claimed he had no idea why app review for a Telegram update was taking longer than usual, and then it came out that they ripped off Apple’s IP to make “animated emoji” and this had been clearly communicated to them. Ap…

If Apple is forced to allow side loading at some point, then what they should do is have two options: Option 1: App Store Same as it is today with a $99/year fee, except there would be two "fee" models to choose from: a) The current 15 or 30% cut …

I don’t mind “right to repair”. If people are confident and skilled enough to attempt the repair, let them take that risk. My issue is that the goalposts have been moved from “we want access to genuine parts, tools, and manuals“ to “Apple needs to …
