    Apple declined iMessage for Android in order to keep customers in their ecosystem

    Posted: 08 Apr 2021 03:05 PM PDT

    Source: Epic Games' brief for lawsuit against Apple's App Store (page 21) https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.364265/gov.uscourts.cand.364265.407.0.pdf

    Apple has recognized the power that iMessage has to attract and keep users within its ecosystem.

    a. As early as 2013, Apple decided not to develop a version of iMessage for the Android OS. (Cue Dep. 92:22-93:1.)

    b. Mr. Cue testified that Apple "could have made a version on Android that worked with iOS" such that there would "have been cross-compatibility with the iOS platform so that users of both platforms would have been able to exchange messages with one another seamlessly". (Cue Dep. 92:5-9; 92:11-16.)

    c. However, Craig Federighi, Apple's Senior Vice President of Software Engineering and the executive in charge of iOS, feared that "iMessage on Android would simply serve to remove [an] obstacle to iPhone families giving their kids Android phones". (PX407, at '122.)

    d. Phil Schiller, an Apple executive in charge of the App Store, agreed that Apple should not offer iMessage on Android devices. (Cue Dep. 92:18-93:1.)

    e. In 2016, when a former Apple employee commented that "the #1 most difficult [reason] to leave the Apple universe app is iMessage . . . iMessage amounts to serious lock-in" to the Apple ecosystem, Mr. Schiller commented that "moving iMessage to Android will hurt us more than help us, this email illustrates why". (PX416, at '610; Cue Dep. 114:14-115:2.)

    Can we just appreciate Android's gestures and its one hand friendly interface?

    Posted: 08 Apr 2021 04:53 AM PDT

    iOS may have popularized today's gestures but Android made it so much better with the universal 'Swipe left/right edge of screen to go back'. Such a simple, consistent, and useful feature. Backs on iOS are quite messy and it can get confusing.

    Samsung One UI, OnePlus UI, and now — stock Android 12. Android is getting better when it comes to one hand operation. No need to reach the top. A smart and practical interface.

    I just love how 'utilitarian' Android is compared to iOS tbh.
