Apple says web apps from third-party browsers are a security risk.

Apple being Apple again. Just why does anyone actually like that company?

    where the colour of the text bubble is important for reasons that defy logic.

    That’s just a thing tweens and teens do, it’s just like when kids were obsessed with expensive shoes when I was a kid and would ostracize the kids who couldn’t afford them. No sane adult I have ever met gave a shit about my text bubbles.

        If that company is serious about conducting professional business for any length of time, they’ll learn better soon enough. In my industry, we still use dialup modems to remotely manage some equipment. You’d be fired for telling a customer to fuck off for not having a specific phone.

      That’s half-true. No adults I voluntarily associate with care what brand of phone anybody else has in theory, but a lot of the iPhone owners are vehemently unwilling to install any third-party messaging apps. That means:

      • Messaging about anything where security is important is a problem. Most people don’t have big secrets, but sending things that could be used for identity theft isn’t terribly rare.
      • Exchanging high-quality media is impossible.
      • People will exclude non-iPhone users from group chats because falling back to MMS is a bad experience for everyone.
