To the surprise of no one.
I, for one, am shocked. Shocked I tell you!
Afaik apple can't block this without also blocking iMessage on older devices that no longer receive updates.
Pretty sure I saw on Reddit beeper is already working on a fix.
My guess at Apple's response when they do block them: "Buy a new phone"
This is the company of "you are holding it wrong" after all.
Has there been any news of people with older Mac's unable to use iMessage anymore because of this?
