Personally I don’t care about this since apple is adopting rcs next year. But its a great thing for people who want iMessage.

    Its a new version they called Mini because it only supports iMessage natively. There is a research who reverse engineered how iMessage works that’s how they manage to make it work without an Apple account and just your phone number.

      Sounds like it’s something Apple could easily kill by changing something in the protocol that would require it to be re-reverse engineered.

        I’m not entirely sure if iMessage still works right now for phones that ran out of support, but such a change would kill it for those phones too.
