I’d love for this to come to the US, but I’d have a hard time switching because of iMessage. If you care about e2e encrypted messaging in the US, running an iPhone is really your only option. It’s a shame.
In my experience, much more difficult problem is convincing people to install one of those to communicate with you. Network effects and the power of defaults and all.
Apple could be murdering puppies but man, their touchpad is just 2% more pleasant than the competition, sorry! My hands are tied!
using an iphone for 5y+ and have never recieved or sent an imessage.
