Glad they shut turned it off so I can continue to look down on all my friends who still don't have an iPhone.
But bridges are still a thing? Okay, Apple. Sure.
Company blatantly violates terms of service, surprised that access is shut off.
I didn’t read the article, but Apple does advertise a certain level of privacy and security with iMessage. A company getting around that kind of defeats apples “promise”.
So, I don’t blame them for turning it off, but they realistically should bring iMessage to android.
- Not really. Just because they reverse engineered the protocol does not mean it is insecure.
  I guess we know too little to say much about that topic.
  
  Well if it’s all handled by Apple I can assume that there is a reasonable amount of security in the way the message is stored.
  If a third party gets involved, then I don’t know if the message is read, copied, or stored insecurely by them.
- Advertising privacy does fuck all when Apple has been allowing the government to read push notifications. Where does that promise fit in, while they knowingly supply what the government wants and then still market itself as a privacy friendly company?
