> but absolutely nobody uses iMessage

Uhm, iMessage works transparently. I just use Messages app, if my recipient uses iPhone it get an iMessage, if they use something else, they get SMS.

Their point is that most people don’t use the Messages app to communicate with others. In the UK for example WhatsApp is massively dominant.

Ditto. I'm the leper who prefers to not use whatsapp and only get away with it since my partner takes up the slack, so to speak.. Last weekend she and i where bemused by the inability of our 100% APPLE hosts to: 1. Use airprint (worked from my linux phone!!!) 2. Share a file with linux or android (mp3 for a ringtone) 3. Install a ringtone. Breathtaking. I still have my classic. And si. I have more proprietary apple software on diskettes than most geeks I know. But apple tanked long ago. And hardware is cheap. And foss is fun.
