With all the fuss, trials and tribulations that appeared shortly after the long awaited launch of iPhone 6, these guys are still in trouble with a trial that is about to begin. This concerns all the data inconsistencies some Apple customers were confronted with, when changing their Apple device into a non-Apple one. Seemingly, the Apple OS bans the message delivery towards the former Apple users that switched to other mobile devices.
It seems that these guys are quite often neglecting some essential technical consequences that may cost them a lot. After the bending issue that turned out to be a great publicity stunt in their very favor, now they’re facing a major lawsuit. Everything started in the land of all possibilities, with the US district judge Lucy Koh, who gave the go-ahead for plaintiff Adrienne Moore to “alleged that Apple’s intentional acts have caused an actual breach or disruption of the contractual relationship.
The claims are that Apple failed to reveal iOS 5 could interrupt the delivery of messages from other iOS users if users switched to a non-Apple device.
While Apple seems to have resolved issues and expanded messaging functionality across its own platform, there are still problems if your want to switch from Apple to non-Apple hardware. The iMessage service is tied not only to your Apple ID but also your phone number and operates over your data connection rather than your carrier’s cellular network. Because of this, if you don’t actively switch off iMessage before heading to another OS like Android or Windows Phone, other iOS users’ handsets still think you’re using the service, and their messages will continue to be delivered over data connections as iMessages, says Wired.
This is serious business because it affects the exact aim of mobile technology, which is to make communication easier, faster and more efficient. Anyways, although the trouble Apple makes either with the new iPhone or their services, they will probably get a new grip of reality and realize that they must make some pretty serious efforts to come with something great to make us forget all the bad things that happened lately.
Above all, it seems that they tried to solve the problem by launching a support page that offered info about how to avoid the issue by de-registering iMessage on your mobile phone before switching to a new phone. They have also been offering a de-registering process using your phone number. Past fixes which had mixed results included deleting and then re-adding iPhone contacts.
