Apple, in standard control-freak, anticompetition mode, disables Beeper's iMessage. Why? Because the app made it possible for Android phone users to communicate securely with IPhone users.

Apple, as always, is using a bogus "it's about security" excuse for its up-yours behavior.

Incorrect. The security of a conversation between iOS users is entirely up to Apple, who trusts their own engineers. The security of a conversation involving Beeper now rests in part on those client engineers, and it would be crazy to expect any company to trust that.
I don’t understand why people on Android want to use iMessage, but this ain’t the way.
