It was mentioned somewhere in the interview or WWDC conference. iMessage is one of the reasons why people choose iOS. It’s its asset.

Google said they may pre-install on Android it in the future. That will probably depend on the reception of the app.

Google requires all Android OEM to include whatever standard apps Google wants. So they can force Duo to be preinstalled anytime they want.

In Android you couldnt even reply to notification banners until recently, LMAO.
Lets not talk about the lack of regular updates or the terrible environment for app developers.
Huh? iOS just got quick replies in iOS 9.1. Android has had them for years. Android had made it more of a standard in Android 7 but app developers have been able to do it for a long time.
App developers? Does android even have those? ios had quick replies since ios 8, android is getting it now with N. I think your facts are a bit off.
I had quick reply on my S6 last year and on my S7 right now, dunno what you are talking about.
WAT?
iOS has it since iOS 8, for at least 2 years

The Nexus 5 had quick replies. Again, like I said, many app developers implemented them years ago. It didn't require any specific version of android.

Tell that to Google Hangouts on Android which had quick replies before Android 7 was released. Quick replies is just a system wide standard. Android apps have had them for years.
Android N feature list
Notifications:
Bundled notifications, direct reply, and notification controls.

Not integrated like in N, which your S7 will probably not get for another 5 months.
That's irrelevant to me because I have/had an S6 and S7 so I do have quick reply... And I don't really care about Android N lol.
Yeah, I guess that must be the Android philosophy, if I cannot get updates I dont care about them. Updates in software are so overrated.
I text people and look on social media, why do I need Android N right now? I have an iPhone and iPad as well so I can get my fill of day 1 updates on those.

Critical Security fixes, bug fixes, stability improvements, speed improvements or new features. You know typical software stuff.

RIM's problem was that people stopped buying Blackberries... and started buying Android phones and iPhones instead.
And with Android and iPhones at 99% quarterly market share these days... I'd say people are still buying Android and iPhones instead of Blackberries.
BBM had nothing to do with RIM's loss. Their problems were much bigger.
Did you read anything we wrote? Google implemented direct reply as a system level feature in N. Apps have been able to do it for years. Android 4 had apps doing quick replies. Again, it is integrated better now but nobody needs a phone on Android N to get quick reply features.
