With these updates will you be able to answer iMessages that are sent to your phone number on your iPad and/or Mac?
That was my understanding, which is great, because the main issue with iMessage has always been that you have to know someone's e-mail address and hope that they have it enabled. Unifying them should remove all of that.
That's the message i got when he was talking about facetime, said something like, "you can receive a call to you phone number and accept it on your ipad, iphone or mac, same goes with iMessage"
This is great imo, that was the biggest issue i had with iMessage
