@jr We already know Epic will make an App Store, but who else? Will we see a Play Store on iOS? Flutter already bridges the gap and lowers development time on apps.

I'm INCREDIBLY interested to see what happens with Messaging on iOS.

We all know the moment you can change the default messaging app on iOS, Apple's stronghold on consumers will begin to unshackle.
