Why? As the article states this actually lessens security for everyone (including iPhone users).

Imagine that! The founder of the company that was denied access to Apple for creating an app that essentially copped an app that is part of their proprietary OS, says it would have increased their security!

Well gosh!!!! let them in then!

I don't really understand your argument.

This is nothing to do with the OS.

He has a point though, you haven't refuted that.

iMessages is part of iOS. How is this not common knowledge?

Because you're confusing the difference between an OS, an application and a protocol.

I didn’t say it WAS the OS, I said it is part of it. Stop arguing semantics. We’re done here.

The OS hasn't been 'copped'. They emulated the protocol, and your lack of understanding and confusing the two has led us to having this conversation.
