Apple piggybacked iMessage on SMS, a universal messaging system which is what consumers really want, and brought those users onto their platform "seamlessly" (which is a nice way to say "underhandedly"). Then when people tried to switch to Android, they weren't receiving their messages because Apple had hijacked their phone numbers (iPhones were still trying to send iMessages to their numbers instead of SMS).
I don't disagree with that. I think Apple/Carriers/and refurb stores know now to remove imessage from #s when people get new phones or convert to android now. However, the premise of what you said, I don't disagree with.
I don't know the lawsuit that well so coming from a place of ignorance but I feel like that's only 1 of their arguments.

I might be stretching this discussion some, however, one thing that concerns me is if the Gov't intervenes here. Is it possible that forcing apple to utilize RCS (or whatever) allows Big Gubm't to obtain/spy/etc on people's conversations/messages?
I get a good bit leery when I hear that the Gov't is "doing something for the good of the people". That tends to never be the case.
Just throwing that out there though...
