I wish them much success but sounds like a hack.
Yeah check out the MKHB video about it…. It’s not reassuring that you’re logging with your iCloud credentials into a cloud server that then parses your iMessage to the phone. From a security standpoint, that’s a big no for me as all it takes is the provider getting hacked and then its spoofing galore.
Yeah I don’t get why anyone would want this. Just use Signal or something cross platform? It’s like complaining about not being able to message your friend’s Xbox from your PlayStation. Sure, it’d be nice, but I sure as hell wouldn’t provide a random third party with my PlayStation account credentials to achieve it!
Because most Apple users don’t even know what a phone actually is and don’t give a fuck about anything related to anything technical, apart from having the newest (same as always) device. Otherwise they wouldn’t be Apple users.
This is a really disingenuous argument even for /c/android. iOS has many pitfalls with the walled garden effect but it also has many advantages with regard to software quality, consistency and performance (particularly at an API level, speaking as a developer for both platforms). If we write them off as bad, dumb or irrelevant then we forego the opportunity to improve our own apps and Android as a platform. Google does not have a monopoly on good ideas nor on technical users - one could note that Android itself is developed on Macs, as Silicon Valley developer workstations are almost universally Apple hardware…
