So now it comes out that Apple is working to “quickly reinstate Google’s enterprise certificates” but won’t work with Facebook?

By now it should be fairly obvious that Apple hates Facebook for a very good reason- Facebook is Apple’s single biggest threat. I’m completely convinced this has nothing to do with privacy or protecting users, it just makes for a convenient excuse.

If people slowly start replacing iMessage with WhatsApp or messenger, that creates a bridge to leave iOS for Android since Apple’s software is one of the main features of the phone. If you become less reliant on the software the hardware suddenly becomes a commodity.

This whole episode is giving me pause about staying in the iOS ecosystem. Beyond that I think some antitrust litigation is going to hit Apple soon.
