      It’ll be a fun watch if they do.

      Pretty sure Apple doesn’t want their dirty laundry on the front page every day.

      Like how iMessage isn’t nearly as secure as they claim. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38537444

      And they haven’t done anything about these issues in 4 years.

      Or that contrary to their claim that this is protecting their users, forcing them to downgrade to SMS for any conversation off of iOS/OSX means all those messages are sent in the clear, for anyone to read.

      Beeper has also exposed any claim they want to make that iMessage can’t be integrated with other platforms.

      It’s interesting to watch, for sure.

      Lawsuit from who?

      Apple preventing a third party from granting unauthorized access to their servers?

      Or Beeper for attempting something that is protected by the DMCA?
