One of the criticisms that have always been leveled at Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), is that it is necessary to have a device of your brand when you want to enjoy its services.
But the reality is that, little by little, the apple company is opening up a little more. Your streaming service Apple Music already came to Android some time ago and iMessage, its instant messaging tool, could be the next to leave the iOS ecosystem.
Will iMessage really come to Android?
An iMessage layout for Material Design
The hare about the possible arrival of iMessage at Apple has been raised by blogger John Gruber, who says he has sources very close to Apple who assure that there are sketches of the application with design Material Design, the model proposed by Android to give an aesthetic unit to the applications for its operating system. An unconfirmed information but to which the media have given enough credibility.
Keep in mind that Apple bet more and more on their services And not only because of the hardware, which could lead us to think that the arrival of iMessage on Android is no nonsense.
An unconfirmed and unsafe arrival
This is not the first time that there has been talk of the possibility that iMessage will end up reaching the Android phones. In fact, a few months ago it was rumored that the app would be presented in the last apple developer event, something that finally did not happen.
The fact that on this occasion there is also no official confirmation by the company for the time being may lead us to think that everything could finally be left in the lurch.
Let's keep in mind that keeping applications like exclusive to iOS devices It gives Apple an interesting competitive advantage over the rest of the manufacturers, so opening up too much so that others can use its apps can be negative for the company founded by Steve Jobs.
Will you use iMessage if it finally comes to Android, or will you still prefer other apps like WhatsApp? Do you think we will see this application in the Google Play Store or will everything remain a rumor? Tell us what you think about it in the comments section at the bottom of the page.
