 Liar. Signal, WhatsApp, and other iPhone apps/services have similar
features - and they have bigger market share worldwide in some cases
than iMessage. A company is under no obligation to make apps for other
platforms.

I wonder if these Apple deniers have read the 62 pages of the DOJ case? Clearly not because the simplistic argument above is EXACTLY the argument from Apple that the DOJ had expected, which, since it's so easy to counter, that the DOJ literally DESTROYED that argument when they filed their case.

You said Apple doesn't sell anything you cannot buy from others.  I
just gave you the answer.  Do you finally understand?

 Apple doesn't sell iMessage. It's free with the purchase of any Apple
device. Do you understand the difference, or is nuance too far a leap
for those with troll brains?

Again, you seem to not understand the DOJ's case and you do not understand how an iPhone works in terms of swapping out the default messaging app.
You know nothing about the case nor about Apple & yet you deny everything.
