#2My prediction is that Apple will start to use attestation (device check) to lock down iMessage. The problem is that this would require a software update for older devices.

Apple already provides security updates to all iOS devices made in the last 5ish years at least, so it would probably take a pretty trivial number of years for them to have an update deployed to nearly all iOS devices that see active use.

#4I would like to point out how awesome it is that someone in high school is making this caliber of a post. I've thought at least a dozen times over the last 20 years how i would like to understand macOS internals, and this person is deconstructing it. well done!

#5Genuine question - can a topic really be `opertunistic` or is that author typo? I love these `referer`-type misspellings that become fossilized over generations

#6I just got an iPhone for the first time, and it is a noticeably better device than my previous Android phones.
One downside is that I can't use iMessage on my Windows and Linux computers. Will look into pypush
Honestly, the iPhone is nudging me further to giving a Macbook/OSX a try one day, but the major blocker to me is the poor state of gaming on Macs.

I think that is how BBM worked, but I could be wrong. I'd be surprised if it is part of the over arching OS security. Sounds like something that should be in their lockdown mode at the very least.

Personally, the approach I took to this was just to game on consoles. In my personal experience, the upgrade cycle is far far better for me. I don't feel like I've missed anything as a result either.

Personally, for communication I never use a device platform specific/locked app/service. Maybe you could keep using the app(s) whatever you were.

After my gaming computer started rebooting (probably needs a new power supply in order to hit peak power draw), I tried out my new M2 Pro for gaming again.
I've been using Codeweavers Crossover to play games that are Windows only, and it's been surprisingly fine. I never fixed my gaming PC (for gaming, at least) and converted it to an at home server. It's been a couple months now. I just lent a friend my GPU.
Epic Games doesn't seem to work, but you could always use Legendary for those titles -- I just don't have any titles on Epic that I want to play.
I'm hoping in one of the future updates that Crossover can activate macOS Sonoma's Game Mode for the games running within Wine, because I assume it'll improve performance even more. I'm also having a bit of buyers remorse -- I didn't plan to use this for gaming, and now I'm wondering how much better an M2 or M3 Max would be for more demanding titles.
