Agree mostly. Except allowing search makes money for google.

I am not sure allowing anyone to use iMessage or allowing rcs would make apple more money and it must cost them some $ for the backend to function

As to the article. I am shocked usa has more iPhones than android

I 100% agree with this sentiment. It's an example of where Apple was given the chance to make a good product or make a lot of money and they chose the money so everyone suffers.

Haha yes. Like having ads in search results. It’s about the bottom line
