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.

Is the image wrong? A phone with a single camera lense has to be 10 years old. Or is this a “budget” phone so poors could buy one?

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).
Android is just better in every other way
