Either way it's just more illustration that it isn't because Apple can't do iMessage on android. Not that anyone should have ever believed that. They just want a walled garden with their users trapped inside to be repeatedly prayed upon. And not even RCS coming to iOS is really going to change that.

Owww! :(
That's sad. But at the same times trying to bypass a gatekeeper is always incertain. They can change something that is difficult to reverse enginering and it's the end of the story. :/
Good. Now they can sue for damages.
Lol no
lol yes
They charged a subscription, there’s a material loss. Not saying they’ll win but apples walled garden has been defeated in a few places (right to repair, usb c, side loading apps, defaulting music players etc).
They charged a subscription with a 7 day free trial for everyone that signed up. It's been less than 7 days, ergo no one has been charged any money.
Potential earnings then. You can sue for anything and I hope they do. Even if they lose it will add to the anticompetitive pile of shit that will eventually force them to open up.
I think I'm confused. Who are you suggesting be sued?
