๐Ÿ”— Reverse-Engineered iMessage Comes to Android With Beeper Mini โ€“ Pixel Envy // Nick Heer

I am not defending Appleโ€™s revenue or its likely stance; I do not much care either way. For what it is worth, I do not think Beeper Mini will actually make much of an impact because iMessage interoperability concerns are localized to the United States and a handful of other countries. But I do think Apple is protective of its network and will treat this reverse engineering exercise as a security problem. If it wants to launch iMessage on Android, it will do so on its own terms.
