It often happens that just before the start of a big event still leaks some additional rumors. In this way, all the buzz reached a peak moment just for that event. In the run-up to Apple WWDC tonight is no different.
Last week we made an overview of what we can expect this evening to 18 hours Apple. Yet there seems to be a very special rumor. According to sources MacDailyNews allowed Android users iMessage, the messaging service for iPhone, expected soon on their device.
Apple’s messaging could well be your app that Android users need. While Google with its Messenger and Hangouts apps for years clutter makes his message service, Apple with iMessage has the reins well in hand.
iMessage works primarily as a messaging via data through Apple’s servers text messages, images, and so sends to other iPhone users. The clever part of the app is that iMessage does at the same time as a SMS app.
The regular SMS feature does not take effect if you send a message from an iPhone to a non-iPhone user, or sending fails through your mobile internet. What completes the picture, is that the service is cross-platform and thus integrated into OS X. Easy and deadly efficient at the same time.
Attack on Allo
But the rumor is true now? Well, on the one hand, Apple has good reasons to iMessage for Android, but there are many things that contradict it on the other side. Let us start with the pros.
According to MacDailyNews Apple thinks more and more to spreading its services. Thus, the use of Apple Pay it according to earlier rumors want to support via the web. In the case of iMessage could to spread only be interesting because even though there was an integration of Apple Pay in iMessage.
On the other hand, seem messaging apps are still in motion Google does not say it in so many words, but. unpopular Hangouts app will be placed on the back burner. the search giant settles all hope of his new Allo app that revealed it to the I / O conference. Allo is equipped with artificial intelligence from Google Assistant. the app may get lots competition but is hugely ambitious and will moreover come towards iOS.
an expansion of iMessage could be a strong answer to Allo. iMessage enjoy the popularity of the iPhone also Android users already some name recognition . the app proves its quality since iOS 5. If Apple really wants to make it difficult for Allo and Google then iMessage in the arena throw a strong move.
Questionable strategy
Strategically would advent of iMessage on Android are a very questionable move. As mentioned earlier iMessage maybe just your app needs Google’s platform. Many Android users, Apple would like to thank once friendly, and then undisturbed continue using their current phone while iOS users can more easily make the transition to Android if they want.
In short, now we take the rumor all caution even with a grain of salt. What does not prevent the advent of iMessage for Android could be enormously interesting for users of the platform. The move emerging battle between message services would only create more interesting. there will answer within a few hours at WWDC.
