I agree with the article but I wouldn't be surprised if Apple still decided to shut down Nothings chats anyway. It's pretty damn cheeky how much they copied the iPhone design and now trying to get imessage as well.

Not to mention this would potentially compromise security of everyone who communicates from an iPhone to a Nothing Phone.

Not potentially, it would 100% compromise security. You have to sign in to your Apple ID on some Mac mini in a server farm somewhere that Nothing has control of.

Yeah it's definitely compromised on the Nothing phone side but I was thinking more of the IPhone users supposedly encrypted messages being stored at Sunbird when they likely wouldn't even know they weren't direct.

So it's not even actually an iMessage app. Cute.

IIRC Nothing doesn't even have control over it, they only have a deal with Sunbird to make this work
