Since they are basically making GBS threads all over Steve's legacy at this point I want them to embrace the Hackintosh platform and offer a PCIe mac personality card for generic UEFI pc motherboards.

Stick an Apple sound chip, Bluetooth/Wifi and SMC controller on it and let the user pick their own chipset, GPU and CPU. I bet one of their engineers could design that over a weekend.

Bonus points if they also forced Jony to design an ATX case to stick everything in :barf:

While your star trek ref is epic as hell, the intesely fail OP you are quoting "craig with the good hair" is a reference to some intensely fail thing "beck with the good hair" which you can read about here http://www.popsugar.com/beauty/What-Does-Becky-Good-Hair-Mean-41062522#photo-41062522 please note i did not read. furthermore, im going to probate triglav again for missing the mark on being a YOSPOS culture fit, again.

thats not enough money to make up for the iphones that would have been sold (and the iphone users retained). also paywalls for messaging or social networks is dumb and bad and puts a cap on growth

whatsapp used to charge $1 per year and they're they biggest messaging network in the world.
the retention battle is mostly over. if you're dumb enough to switch from iOS to android today then iMessage is not what's stopping you. if this exists then iMessage is the Trojan horse to sell services to non-iOS users. getting all those android users on subscription, making more money for Apple than they do for Google on an annual basis must sound very appealing to tim.

whatsapp paywall was incredibly leaky and they basically never had it in many markets, it was just free. and now that fb bought it they did the smart thing by getting rid of it. the whole point of social networks and messaging is to have a network effect, which doesn't happen when you place limits on it

imessage is still one of the stickiest services that apple has and plenty of people will never think of getting anything else cause of it. it's an incredibly valuable thing to throw away for incremental revenue from payments or stickers or whatever thing everyone else is doing to monetize their services. unless they have some new poo poo planned to further differentiate iphones that they can give away a major tent pole

iMessage is mostly what keeps me on iOS regardless of whether or not I actually want to leave it, so yeah

that plus their music app on android, with the migration tool they released as a transition point once they get you in the gate. it's certainly a way to engage a market that would never switch in the first place, switched away and don't want to fully come back, or can't afford a full device but want the features. including facetime it would also push into microsoft's territory wrt skype without directly confronting them
