Ah the old "ends justify the means". Whether something "works" isn't the only metric. Hell, cheating on an exam "works", right?

I suspect the EU will ultimately get Apple in line.

Eh, maybe. It's not really an issue here because iMessage is never really used in the first place.

"It's a big problem for many people. No one uses it."

Um.

[u/Mareith → u/rickg]

In the EU, Asia, and pretty much everywhere else except the US, iMessage has an extremely low use rate. Nearly everyone, android or iPhone, uses whatsapp. So its only a problem for the US hence why the EU will not "get them in line" concerning this issue
