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 interoperate with (a future version of) Matrix.
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.
how are they supposed to keep up with microsoft with an open messaging standard? can’t miss out on being the most valuable company with a market cap at more than 3 trillion dollars…
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.
Can’t apple do something good for a change and adopt Matrix?

What’s wrong with Matrix?

Oh no! Web based protocol! Not stability, ease of debugging, less block rate, and easy SSL protection! The horror!!

It means it’s a robust well-tested protocol (referring to HTTP)
It’s a robust, well tested, and well known protocol.
Average company firewall: Allow 80 Allow 443 Allow 53 to Deny to any
What’s the better solution?
Yeah it has a lot of problems, but all the things you listed are the least of it. Still better than anything else.

YESSSS! Let’s hope apple does have to adopt this, it would be so helpful when communicating with apple users

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

Apple has announced they are adding RCS support.
RCS is not an open standard and is partially owned by Google.
