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.

    I reall hope apples does not store or can even read the data. Otherwise it would be a really bad messaging protocol (privacy and security wise).
