Flying SquidApple says it will remove services such as FaceTime and iMessage from the UK rather than weaken security if new proposals are made law and acted upon.
ladelI think it’s the correct response, but in the UK, iMessage is essentially just a way to send SMSs, so won’t really be missed. It doesn’t have the same status as in the US. No idea if anyone uses facetime.
Does android just have a huge market share ? Off the top of my head I think I have three people with ‘green bubbles’ in iMessage and I don’t use WhatsApp at all. Canadian for what it’s worth.
European region overall is about 65/35 in favor of android, but 35 is still a significant userbase.
