re: green bubble chatquote:“The #1 most difficult [reason] to leave the Apple universe app is iMessage ... iMessage amounts to serious lock-in,” was how one unnamed former Apple employee put it in an email in 2016, prompting Schiller to respond that, “moving iMessage to Android will hurt us more than help us, this email illustrates why.”

While Apple will never move iMessage to Android, it would be hilarious to watch them do it and then see immediately outperform every single one of Google's 50 messaging apps.

inferis posted:why is the messages app icon still green either: - to maintain consistency with the other "core" calling/msging apps (phone, facetime, messages all green) - its one of the most used apps on the device and changing the color may confuse non technical people

they do change the music app's color every other version of ios though which is pretty fun and annoying

easiest way to fix iMassages: make messages from iOS/macOS devices smooth, liquidy, shiny make messages from everything else appear as Zalgo

i'm kind of confused at the news articles complaining that imessage is "lock-in". it's like, yes, the fact that I can run apple software is largely why I buy apple devices. that's not "lock in" in any negative way, it's literally their product. it kinda feels like they're complaining that ps5 can't play switch games maybe im missing something?

sounds bullshitty to me to call it lock-in. apple did try to sling their standards ideas around but not having those or imessage at all does nothing to impede messaging on, to, or from other platforms just sounds salty

maybe as a monthly service, but the cost of device support for devices they don't make sounds like a compelling reason not to

Casual Encountess posted:lol go find a nurse who doesnt wear a watch doctors can be very weird about watches. i once met a doctor at a party who told me (i am paraphrasing) that i must not have been very important at my workplace because i didn’t wear a watch and i couldn’t tell what time it was and know where i needed to be. i didn’t want to try to explain that i have a cell phone and there are clocks on walls and in computers and at computer jobs everyone has a computer at all times and their meetings and agenda are in the calendar on the phone anyway, so I left to talk to some other less pompous people. that was pre smartwatch era too so a watch would literally just tell you the time and you’d have to juggle meetings and appointments in your head which is way less good than a phone with a calendar.

lock-in is just an industry term that covers the various forms of inertia wrt a platform that keeps users from switching, it’s not new or that big of a deal to use it
