Beeper Mini vs Apple, it continues. Aftersenators expressed their concernsas for Cupertino's position on this matter, the CEO would now like to take Apple to court.
Beeperis as a reminder an application offering its users the ability to group togethermultiple email accounts in a single interface. The developers of the app recently managed to find a new way to connectAndroidto iMessages, then offered it to their users. It wason the occasion of the release of Beeper Mini.This did not please Apple, however, which quickly shut down the service, then continued to counter any attempts toBeeperto offer iMessages.
After showing some signs of despair following the complications encountered, CEO Eric Migicovsky now seems determined not to give up.
“They degraded iMessage performance”
According to him, the blocking ofBeeperby the apple firm would havecaused iMessage performance to deteriorate for iPhone users, this for the sole purpose “to crush a competitor».
Apple responded that“These techniques posed a significant risk to user security and privacy». Adding that the measures it has taken are only aimed at protecting its users, by blocking methods«who exploit fake credentials in order to access iMessage.»
In order to allow their customers to connect to iMessage,Beepermakes the link between them and Apple servers thanks to their numerous Macs. The application therefore makes its users passAndroidfor iPhone users, butit seems that Cupertino has now identified and blocked Macsbelonging toBeeper. Users are now obliged to have one, or to use that of a loved one to be able to benefit from the service again.
The CEO ofBeepercontinues to say that there were no risks, and accuses Cupertino of abusing its dominant position in the market.“Apple has monopoly powers as the largest phone maker in the United States. More than 50% of Americans use an iPhone, and iMessage is the default on that device. »
He claims to have initiated an investigation to prove that Apple has used anti-competitive practices against him, while making “iPhone users experience worse with this change.". The rest promises to be interesting.
