Say, “We at Apple, Think Different.” and refuse to be shepherded into the flock with the likes of the dirty android heathens. You can’t give in so easily. First, they’ll take your Lightning ports, then they’ll take your internal battery and IP68 rating, and before you know it, they’ll take your blue iMessage bubble too.

At that point, why even bother? You might as well throw a Qualcomm Snapdragon in the next iPhone and call it a day. Congratulations Apple, you have the best UI of any Android phone on the market.

What the actual fuck?

You swear this isn't satire?

and before you know it, they’ll take your blue iMessage bubble too

Nobody tell this guy what the EU's Digital Markets Act means for Apple and iMessage...

I haven't heard of this. What does it mean?

Messaging services need to be interoperable.
