The lock-in problem at the heart of the Apple monopoly lawsuit
I have used an iPhone in the past and I believe anyone can get out of their walled gardens if they want to. They just need to research and work on it though.
A lot of average users won’t do that though. You can export everything if you work on it. The only issue which is iMessage, but that’s purely a US issue really. Hardly a problem in Europe where WhatsApp dominates it here.
A problem I have is that I live abroad and everyone in the states uses iMessage so it’s difficult to get people to use other messaging apps.
So I’m kinda locked in unless I want to go through the trouble of making international calls or sending emails and asking someone to install an app so I can call them.
It’s not an easy task, it it was then this would be a nonissue.
That’s because we don’t use other messaging apps like what’s app, not because of Apple. It would be the same thing on android. iMessage also sends texts to non Apple devices.
