in the case of iMessage, you know, they sell phones by locking you into the, uh, platform WhatsApp. No, one's really sure how they make money.
And they even came out with a public statement. Um, a couple of days after explaining or trying to use the argument that they, it was something around protecting users, security and privacy by blocking, you know, third party. Yeah. Services from sending I messages, which to me felt like. Double speak like 1984 double speak where they were actually making the experience worse for iPhone customers by blocking people, many.
So Apple took action to block beeper mini users from being able to send and receive I messages.
So you have an iPhone, you send a message to an Android user before Beeper Mini, it was unencrypted. It was a green bubble. It was a pretty crappy experience.
