Not going to happen. How do you think they became 2.000.000.000.000+ company? D finitely by not letting their customers off the hook.
Comment on Apple’s iMessage is not a “core platform” in EU, so it can stay walled off

Can’t apple do something good for a change and adopt Matrix?

They might earn some respect from people who use android, and they might buy an iPhone

how are they supposed to keep up with microsoft with an open messaging standard? can’t miss out on being the most valuable company at more than 3 trillion dollars…

Apple has already announced they are adding RCS support.
GregorTacTac@lemm.ee 1 year ago
RCS is not an open standard and is partially owned by Google.

As if Play Store + App Store duopoly was not enough of a headacke for everyday living, now I would need to explain myself of not using iMessage or Google Messages.

You joke, but Matrix has been working on protocol design specifically for the Digital Markets Act. If iMessage were to be ruled subject to the DMA, it might mean Apple having to adopt (a future version of) Matrix.

I don’t like Matrix, but that’d be an improvement.
(It supports bridging anyway, so one could use an XMPP-Matrix bridge and a Matrix-crapland bridge simultaneously)

What’s wrong with Matrix?
rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
From practice - performance of clients and of servers too.
From emotion - it uses Web technologies.
From some logic maybe - if they are doing something new, then why not distributed architecture like Tox (at least identities not tied to servers), and if they choose something architecturally similar to XMPP, why not use XMPP.
However, emotion again, I really like Matrix APIs, these are definitely designed to be used by anyone at all.

YESSSS! Let’s hope apple does have to adopt this, it would be so helpful when communicating with apple users
smileyhead@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
It is only a suggestion. Like, if a gatekeeper wants to actually become open and adopt a protocol here we are showing you the path. But Apple is not like that, they would do absolute minimum and propably even less.
