What Apple could've done is simply make an SMS app for Android with support for iMessage. Make it into a subscription and I'm sure people would still pay.
It’s not Apple’s responsibility to do that if you want iMessage access buy an Apple product.What Apple could've done is simply make an SMS app for Android with support for iMessage. Make it into a subscription and I'm sure people would still pay.
Pebble CEO? At least their watches were kind of good..... for 2012 standards
I think the part where they will send you a jailbroken iPhone to use the app might cause them the most legal trouble from Apple. I can't see this lasting too long.
I really wish the Pebble guy could get involved with a successful start-up. I really liked the Pebble Time, I still have one in a drawer somewhere.
Nothing illegal about sending an obsolete device, jailbroken or not, to someone. They aren't charging for the device.Possibly a DMCA takedown for shipping jailbroken phones?
If I were Apple, I would still do it. The potential for revenue stream for the services side is quite large. People who want iPhone will still buy iPhone. This is to serve (and profit) from those outside the traditional Apple ecosystem.It’s not Apple’s responsibility to do that if you want iMessage access buy an Apple product.
This should remain an Apple exclusive product like Apple Pay and Mac OS.

I am same with yours, but yeah I installed so many ad blocker, mostly host-based. Maybe one of entry causing this problem?Honest question. Why doesn't MacRumors fix this?

I see your point, however I still don't see how it violates DMCA. Jailbreaking your phone is not illegal. Voids your warranty and you lose any support from Apple, but still not illegal.They are charging for the service. They won’t send you the jailbroken phone unless you are paying them. The law isn’t so easily fooled.
Why?This is one of the times I look forward to Apple lowering the boom on Beeper.
Have at it, Apple
To those who think this will get axed, the Messages app on the Mac supports Automator and other integrations with processes running on the same machine. Are you suggesting they should cripple the Messages App? Why would they do that? This bridge still requires Apple hardware.In before this gets killed off...
The software may not but the functionality of hooking into iMessages will get clipped for sure.This isn’t going anywhere.

Fair enoughif that's true why is AirMessage still going...? Can't see what the fuss is about tbh. All it does is copy messages in/out of iMessage on MacOS. There's no 'hack' involved.
Cool, thanks for the video — I've never needed to look into it, personally.If you want to see AirMessage and how it works have a look see here.
Yes because stifling innovation is a good thing.
