        I know I just find it to be such a manufactured corporate tagline that exists to be used in this way and it rubs me the wrong way

            Until cross platform messaging is a good as iMessage and FaceTime from an iPhones user’s perspective it’s going to be bad.

            I have only ever used an iPhone (ignore non-smart phones) and have been weaned entirely on Apples stock apps. Conversely almost everyone I communicate regularly with is also an iPhone users. I do use other platform for communicating with non-apple friends but the experience is significantly poorer.

            I couldn’t say how many people existed within this almost exclusively Apple ecosystem but I would hazard a guess that there are a few.

              Apple uses iMessage as a moat against people switching to Android. They intentionally degrade your experience for their benefit.

                  Uhhh, I have no idea. I use Element and a bunch of bridges to hit other services. I just meant that iMessage is the only major messaging service that’s restricted to just iPhones and the “interop” to Android is intentionally pure shit to pressure everyone to get an iPhone, which is pretty dirty.

        2. At a minimum every second comment should end in some sort of praise of me
        3. No posting on Thursdays
        4. You accidentally posted something I didn’t like? Tough shit your wife and family are now hostage
