Apple has seemingly found a way to block Android’s new iMessage app

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
It isn't. As far as I know, iMessage is irrelevant in Europe.
At least here in Germany whattsapp is the standard. Apple has a phone market share if ~30%. In other countries the Facebook messenger is also quite important afaik.
But apple somehow managed to have pretty much all schools forcing their students to get an IPad. So the apple market share is increasing. I can not tell you how furious that makes me. Every parent has to buy one (or several) of those, so their children can use the most basic teaching apps, that any 100€ tablet could easily run. Poor children get an IPad on tax payers money, so I basically pay for my own children's IPads and then a part of my tax money also flows to apple. I just wonder who (except Apple) got rich on that deal... I fxxxing hate politicians.
Telegram is the standard in Eastern Europe
