• Beeper, the company behind iMessage for Android, faces an outage after Apple cuts off its access.

    I guess he was wrong!

    Or, maybe he knew he was bluffing a little (I doubt he fully believed they couldn’t do this).

    Like ad blocking, this looks like a cat/mouse game, and this dev looks like he really understands what Apple does. So it should be an interesting thing to watch.
