Beeper drops iMessage integration after Apple bans linked Macs
iMessage on Beeper appears to be gone for good.
- Beeper says that it received and verified reports of 30 users of Beeper Cloud or Mini that had their Macs banned from using iMessage by Apple.
- Apple Support says the Macs were banned from accessing iMessage due to "spam."
- Beeper has disabled new iMessage connections to Beeper Cloud, and it's unclear when or if functionality might return.
It has been so insanely self destructive for Beeper to continue trying to implement this.
It reminds me of Palm and WebOS trying to piggyback off iTunes in the 2010s. It doesn’t help your users, it doesn’t help your company, it doesn’t help your platform and introduces so much liability to everyone. I sometimes wonder if Jon Rubinstein trying to push WebOS/iTunes integration was just a last ditch effort to sink the project.
Wild to me that you don't see it as self-destructive of Apple to pull this BS as they stare down anti-trust action from multiple major world governments.
I feel like you are claiming the victim
This is malignant monopolism by Apple, in my opinion.
Nope, it is blatant entitlement by Android users.
