Comment on Samsung joins Google in RCS shaming Apple

• Salamendacious@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  By saying “apple puts their services” it implied to me that you were suggesting that apple actually put much of its inhouse software on Android, which isn’t the case. Not in the same way that saying “Google puts its services on iOS” is accurate because a great deal of Google’s software is available on iOS.

  In our conversation who is saying anything about altruism? What I said was Google releases a lot of, in my opinion, incredibly useful software for free and then pays for it by selling ads. I feel like this is incredibly obvious and for me it’s a good deal because I like Google’s free services and I’d rather see ads about things I might actually be interested in than things I’m not interested in.

    What is business model that justifies putting iMessage on Google phones, or supporting one of its competitors?

    Because if there’s isn’t one, they can’t do it.

    As I said, Google aren’t doing us because they’re your mate, they’re doing it to make money.

    Companies are not your friend.

        You’ve avoided my question. What is the business driver for Apple to do this?
