My take on this whole thing is that this is basically an elaborate plan to eventually use this in court against Apple to prove its anti-competitive practices.
If not for court, then at the least this is a press strategy orchestrated by someone with an interest in opening up the iMessage monopoly.
I'm sure the founder realized early on that the prospects of this becoming a valuable company on its own merits were slim - the vulnerability to Apple shutting them down was obvious. Which leads me to conclude he saw value to be created in just basically messing with Apple and forcing them to ban him.

If you actually knew Eric and the history of Beeper you would understand how hilariously false, absurd and revisionist such a statement is. Eric only started Beeper after validating massive interest from Hacker News for a paid app that would unify disparate communication channels.

My device was banned. My legitimate device.
Confirmed with support that I was flagged for sending out unsolicited messages from my device.
Frick that. They can block beeper if they want to but blocking the authentic app on an authentic device is retaliation and I won't fricking stand for it. I deactivated imessage. Deleted beeper too but I'm not mad at the devs or the app. This is my data I was trying to access. This is straight up punishment from Apple for not behaving the way they want me to. This is a company desperately trying to punish users for adding a modicum of convenience to their lives and punishing you for sometimes using a computer they didn't make, you didn't pay them for.
It's been a good decade but now I'm going to wean myself out of this ecosystem. A lot of good homepods are going to end up in the trash.

Yes r-slur it's the iphone for poors. Like there are androids for poors. There's no difference in which are more for poors, both make more and less expensive models (the most expensive Androids are more expensive, if youre tarded enough to care).

t. too poor to afford a folding phone![:#marseylaugh: :#marseylaugh:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseylaugh.webp)

Why would anyone want a folding phone? That's such an r-slured gimmick.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Double the surface area. See (my) Fold 5 post on (my) profile.
(I) also have a 14 Pro Max with (my) primary number in and use bluebubbles too synch (my) imessage between all (my) phones, including (my) Fold. Use (my) own Mac as a relay server. Means (I) don't break (my) groupchats either.
There used too be huge 16:9 phones like the Z Ultra or Nexus 6 that modern elongated aspect ratio phones still don't match the width of.
The Fold is practically the same width as excellent QWERTY phones like the Blackberry Passport and is actually big enouch for digital keyboards too not suck.
(I) constantly get PDFs sent too (my) work email and the 5:4 Galaxy Fold's are an excellent aspect ratio for PDFs.
You also have roughly a 6.6" 16:9 window for most media versus a 5.5" window on regular larger model phones.
The main downside of foldables, for Samsung at least has been gimped camera hardware and limited storage in certain years like 2020.

None of that matters unless your phone is your only computing device, as in you're poor.

It matters if you're constantly out of town or going too meetings.
(I) go too a lot of work meetings in neraby counties and it's been legitimately useful.
They also have their DeX software that gives a desktop environment. With most stuff being web based (I) can do everything (I) usually do on (my) Macbook Pro, and if (I) really need desktop software just remote in.
It's pretty cool. It's more useful in that you have a screen 90% as big as an iPad mini in you're pocket. Conventional large phones are closer too 50% the surface area of a small tablet.
Samsung needs too bump it too a full 8" 4:3 screen like the Chinese foldables and finally put flagship cameras on it. They likely won't do the latter until Apple releases their foldable in a few years.

A lot of Android users are genuinely r-slurred. (I) actually agree with you, lmao.
I've always bought multiple phones and always use an Android flagship and iPhone. This software is useful for (me) because (I) can consolidate (my) texts as imessage between (my) main phones.
A lot of IT-CELs sneed really hard about Apple, it' genuinely bizarre. (I) just like a lot of Android's OS features so use both.
