Yes, WhatsApp does some something similar. You have to 
tap-and-slide-right on the old message; it generates a tiny partial copy 
of the old message linked to an edit box to type the new reply. If 
recipient taps on the old link, the application automatically shows that 
message in context. Can be a message, video, photo, map, document... 
whatever.

I have heard of whatsapp supporting payments, but not ready yet; anytime 
soon. Automatic message on arrival, no, but I have heard of the feature 
on some app, I don't remember which. Maps, yes, we can send a location 
with a tiny map that opens on tap. Or, we can send a map with the real 
time location for a predefined number of hours. Send a document. Oh, new 
one I just see: send a survey. No idea about this one.

I guess any feature can be replicated, it is just a question to design 
it (just tell the engineers to do it), and assign the resources to it 
(machines and money, I'd guess). And of course, estimate if it is going 
to be worth it, revenue vs cost.

Apple designs the walled garden on purpose, so it's not that simple.
Apple designs it to exclude people from outside the Apple community.

It's not a walled garden at all.

Exactly.  It's more of a country club - not a walled garden.  Like in "a 
real world" country club, club members get the full value of the outside 
world plus the perqs inside the country club fence that are denied to 
non members.

To gain access to the club, simply purchase Apple devices.

If you believe what you say, which is that the only way an Apple device 
will ever communicate easily with the rest of the world is for everyone in 
the world to be only on Apple devices, then there's no sense in continuing 
this conversation. The walled garden is very real and highly restrictive.

<this might post twice>

With an Apple device there are no restrictions on using "outside the 
Apple eco-system" apps and means.  Apple users who are part of a 
non-Apple grouping just use the apps and means that the group uses. Life 
goes on without restriction.

But, when "in the eco-system" one gets those things that those not in 
the club can't have.  Such as the seamless integration between Apple 
devices and apps.

This is why Apple's "eco system" is not a walled garden as you're so 
desperate to label it.

It is a fenced-in country club that members can enter and leave as they 
like or need.  The members get everything of both worlds, the 
non-members only get their world and can only gaze through the fence and 
wish they had the benefits of the club (or rant about the club members 
if that is therapeutic to them).

Meanwhile companies like Samsung make their own "clubby" setups such as 
integration between phones and watches - but this falls into messy once 
one uses a Windows PC, Mac or Linux.  Very messy to keep all the parts 
singing in harmony.

  From Samsung's (commercial) newsletters, I get the impression that
there is also quite a lot of intergration, *if* you buy all your stuff,
including all kinds of other stuff, like appliances, TV, home
automation, etc., etc. from *Samsung*. So for your example, that would
be a *Samsung* Windows PC (versus an Apple Mac).

 So apples to apples :-) comparison: Buy *all* your stuff from Apple
versus buy *all* your stuff from Samsung.

  N.B. I'm not implying that Samsung's integration is as intricate as
Apple's, but it's much better than just a bay of islands as is the case
when everything/most_things come from different manufacturers.

  And Samsung makes some stuff which Apple doesn't, so let's call it a
*different* country club, where both Apple users and non-Samsung users
"can only gaze through the fence and wish they had the benefits of the
club (or rant about the club members if that is therapeutic to them)".

Not a very good comparison, alas.  Apple has the Home Kit to extend 
one's reach over to all sorts of appliances.

This is where open standards are a good thing for _basic_ integration.

Doesn't mean that when one co. goes the extra distance that they have to 
open it up to all and sundry to take advantage of their investment in 
more advanced features.  Certainly the shareholders would not stand for it.

I can't think of a thing Samsung makes where I wouldn't consider some 
other company's wares over them.  Not to say Samsung doesn't make things 
I may want.  But their disjointed eco-system is certainly not a draw.

  Yes, but that's just a bay of islands, not tight integration as the
rest of the Apple eco-system. You can't have it both ways: It's either
part of the Apple eco-system - and hence (most likely) tightly
integrated - or it's not - and hence the *user* is the 'systems
integrator', not Apple.

  Indeed. But in that case the user is the systems integrator and if
stuff doesn't work, tough luck and over to unofficial help sources (such
as these groups).

  I - and most sane people - am not saying they have to open it all up.

  What we *are* saying is that when it's about *communication* the
reasonable expectation is that the communication method (iMessage) can
also communicate with other platforms. And no, the current SMS/MMS
kludge does *not* satisfy that need. It's a silly bandaid 'used' (FSVSVO
'used') in the US(/NA?). No-one takes the kludge seriously, so it's
telling that Apple users - who always talk about seamless, smooth, etc.
- even bother to defend such a kludge. Just accept/admit that it's a
kludge and move on.

  Of course Apple *can* keep iMessage closed. Likewise we *can* call it
silly, stupid, <whatever>.

  Well, again you can't have it both ways: You either stick with one
company or you pick and choose. I could make the same (non-)argument: "I
can't think of a thing Apple makes where I wouldn't consider some other
company's wares over them.".

>	       But their disjointed eco-system is certainly not a draw.

  Their eco-system is not "disjointed". They might not offer the
intricate level of integration which Apple offers for their products,
but that doesn't mean their eco-system is "disjointed".

Frank ... 

The sole reason Apple stuff works together is they're always logged into
the same server (for the rest of their lives - they're logging into Apple).

Think about that.... (given you know Android doesn't need us to do that).

There's nothing Apple can do that Android can't do if everyone logged into
the same server to do it, Frank.

The difference is that Apple will _brick_ your device if you don't log in.
 <https://i.postimg.cc/7P7NCctS/locked-01.jpg> AppleID is locked by Apple
 <https://i.postimg.cc/4dHQQFfk/locked-02.jpg> Password was always good

 <https://i.postimg.cc/rpmJKw7p/locked-04.jpg> Then, iCloud works again
 <https://i.postimg.cc/rwyGPpV9/locked-05.jpg> Then, Messages works again

Ask me how I know this, Frank.

 <https://i.postimg.cc/wxwgN0Fg/nag02.jpg> 2 iOS nag items
 <https://i.postimg.cc/3NVqB4dC/nag03.jpg> 1 iOS nag item (permanent)

In a year or two, Apple will _brick_ my third device as I will 
never log into that Apple server ever again on that device.

Note: You know I test things, Frank - so none of the iKooks is aware of
what Apple does because they'd be too scared NOT to do what Apple tells
them to do (like innocent sheep led by the nose to slaughter).

I learned how horrid Apple's "integration" was in this simple lesson...
 <https://i.postimg.cc/fRtZFGSt/sharepod01.jpg> iTunes breaks everything

I bought an iPod to use with my songs on my Windows PC, and... then... 
I had to _initialize_ the damn thing - using - you guessed it - iTunes...

You know I know software - and therefore I know all about Apple software... 
It's terrible.

 A. I was utterly horrified at the iTunes bloatware abomination
 B. Which I instantly removed in favor of the free SharePod integration
 C. Years later, Apple bought SharePod & made it use (guess what) iTunes

Notice the lessons learned:
a. Apple can't write software
b. Apple software _reduces_ functionality
c. Apple did everything they could to hinder functionality

Luckily I saved the original SharePod version which works fine to this day.

The instant you choose the Apple product line, you lose functionality.

Arlen ("Wally") *desperately* wants those of us who actually have
devices that haven't been logged into iCloud to be quiet, but the fact
is many people use Apple devices without the *completely* *optional*
iCloud service for years without issue. I have an iPhone SE (1st gen)
semi-permanently mounted to the windshield of my car that hasn't been
logged into iCloud for years, and it functions as a dedicated dash cam
without issue. Here's he truth: Arlen purposely fucked his own device up
and is trying to pass that off as "Apple fucked me". Arlen lies. Arlen
lies constantly. Arlen *hates* Apple users so much that he literally
spends hours and hours every day trolling these news groups in lame
attempts to belittle and disrupt. Unlike most other posting here, Arlen
has no life outside of hate.  He's a pathetic loser.

Hi Jolly Roger, 

While Snit & Alan Baker & Joerg are plonked, I read everything you write.
And it's clear you have absolutely no idea of how Apple does things, JR.

What you do not understand, Jolly Roger, is there are _multiple_ times you
must log into an Apple device, as witnessed by the very images I provided.

For example, there's an iCloud login and there's an iMessage login, JR.
 <https://i.postimg.cc/rpmJKw7p/locked-04.jpg> iCloud login
 <https://i.postimg.cc/rwyGPpV9/locked-05.jpg> iMessage login

And there's plenty more, Jolly Roger, none of which are you aware of.
 <https://i.postimg.cc/3NVqB4dC/nag03.jpg> Plenty of other Apple logins

What's no longer shocking about you uneducated ignorant iKooks, Jolly
Roger, is you can't figure out that the iCloud login is _not_ the problem.

I too could download all the software I wanted to get from the App Store,
for example, which worked even when Apple bricked the rest of my devices.
 <https://i.postimg.cc/ZR5mZ287/appleid07.jpg> Apple fails App Store test
Note: You can install apps - you just can't delete & then re-install them.

What you don't understand is the sheer number of logins Apple requires,
and, more importantly, if you don't log into them frequently, then what you
consider  wonders of the walled garden immediately stop (e.g., FaceTime).

> He's a pathetic loser.

It's no longer shocking that you iKooks are incapable of responding to the
fact that you _hate_ about Apple products so you attack the bearer of fact.

So be it.

Fact is, you've never once found any fact from me to ever be wrong, even as
you _hate_ almost every fact that I prove to you about Apple products, JR.
-- 
The problem with iKooks isn't so much how incredibly ignorant they are, but
they refuse to believe any facts about Apple which they themselves hate.

Projection. It is *you* who has absolutely no idea how Apple devices
work.

Nope. My iPhone SE hasn't asked or required a login for *years* and
continues to work just fine.  You don't know what you are talking about.
You think iCloud is mandatory when it's not. You think Apple requires
you to log in, when they do not. You are a useless, know-nothing troll.

> For example, there's an iCloud login and there's an iMessage login,

You caused that by logging into iCloud and iMessage, Arlen. And the fact
that you think the rest of us don't know that is pathetic. Your trolls
are as weak as your interpersonal skills.

> And there's plenty more, Jolly Roger, none of which are you aware of.

More projection from the Apple-hating loser troll. You logged into that
account and now like a complete moron you are complaining that your
logged-in account is asking for your credentials. How fucking dumb are
you? Pretty fucking dumb it appears.

Hi Jolly Roger,

The unsurprising thing is you iKooks have no clue whatsoever that there's a
login into the iMessage server and _another_ login into the iCloud server.
 <https://i.postimg.cc/rpmJKw7p/locked-04.jpg> iCloud login
 <https://i.postimg.cc/rwyGPpV9/locked-05.jpg> iMessage login

And plenty more.
 <https://i.postimg.cc/3NVqB4dC/nag03.jpg> Plenty of other Apple logins

It's no longer shocking you iKooka have no idea how Apple products work.

Ah, but I do. I know full well what happens if you don't log into Apple
servers when they ask you to "Update Apple ID settings" as shown here.
 <https://i.postimg.cc/3NVqB4dC/nag03.jpg> 1 Update Apple ID settings

I understand you better than you know yourself, Jolly Roger, so I forgive
you for lashing out at me simply for telling you the truth about Apple.

No. You're wrong Jolly Roger. That was caused by Apple who forces you to
identify yourself with a government ID if you ever stop logging into it.

Again, I forgive you for hating all facts about Apple products, Jolly
Roger. But you hating what Apple does doesn't change what Apple does.

It's clear you have absolutely no idea that you're continually logging into
Apple servers - because if you didn't - Apple will brick your device.
 <https://i.postimg.cc/q75t7MSk/appleid03.jpg> Apple _disables_ the device!

What you hate is that almost nothing works on Apple products if you simply
choose to NOT log into Apple's mothership tracking servers every single
moment of the rest of your life, Jolly Roger.

Which is why I feel sorry for you iKooks after all.

You're so _happy_ being oblivious to everything about Apple products
that you hate me (and Apple) when I prove to you what Apple does.

Yes, bozo. That's what happens when you log into a server - it asks for

No, you clearly don't know that if you hadn't logged into it in the
first place, it would never ask for your credentials. You are truly an
idiot. You log into servers and then complain when they ask for your
credentials, like a complete moron. Are you a boomer? Because you sire

I don't forgive you, Arlen. And I hope you die soon. On that day, we'll
celebrate with a drink here, because the world will instantly become a
bit brighter due to your absence. Count on that. 🙂

Nope, I'm right. And I have a years-old 1st generation iPhone SE right
here that is living proof. I haven't been asked to log into *any* Apple
servers for literal *years*. You *desperately* want to pretend this
isn't the case, but it is. And nothing you can ever say will change this
reality. 

> Apple who forces you to identify yourself with a government ID if you

Nope. You already admitted you never logged out and then forgot your
credentials, like the complete idiot you are.

> It's clear you have absolutely no idea that you're continually logging
> into Apple servers

It's clear you *desperately* want to pretend my iPhone SE hasn't been
logged into an Apple server in many years and works just fine. You also
comically don't remember you already admitted staying logged into Apple
servers then forgetting your own username and password, before turning
around and claiming Apple fucked you like the complete jackass you are.
And you apparently think the rest of us don't remember that too.
Dementia is setting in, eh?

You call me a "dumb ass" merely because I showed you were ignorant that
Apple requires _multiple_ logins into multiple servers, and if you do not
frequently log into those mothership servers, Apple will brick the device.

You _hate_ every truth about Apple products, Jolly Roger, so you blame me.
So be it.

For the first time in oh, I don't know, a dozen posts, you've said
something that is actually correct about Apple products, Jolly Roger.

I never said otherwise, Jolly Roger.

What's interesting is that you _hate_ the truth about Apple so much that
you build this senseless strawman so that you can attack it instead of
accepting the truth about Apple products, Jolly Roger.

You _hate_ that Apple forces you to log in repeatedly for the rest of your
life, don't you? And yet you have no defense to that truth that you hate.

So you hate me simply for teaching you how your Apple product works.
So be it.

It's a good thing you didn't say it like nospam and Rod Speed did, JR.
So I won't take that as a direct threat worthy of reporting to the FBI.

However... 

It does show how deathly afraid you are of me, Jolly Roger.

Yes you have, Jolly Roger. You just skip past it and do exactly what they
tell you to do, Jolly Roger. You can't say you've never seen this, can you?

Everything you love about Apple, for example, Jolly Roger, is purely due to
one thing & one thing only - which is everything is done on their servers.

You _hate_ that fact.

Ah, but you have Jolly Roger. You have. You just never explicitly tested
NOT logging into Apple servers every day for the rest of your life.

So you never saw this:

I know the AppleID login and password to _all_ my iPads, Jolly Roger.
Apple locked the account because I didn't log into them frequently enough.

Haven't you ever seen this message from Apple, Jolly Roger?

I love you Jolly Roger - so I'd ask you to run a simple experiment please.

Try NOT logging into your wondrous Apple servers, Jolly Roger. 
And _then_ tell me that the statement is "false"....

But I do appreciate that you show how much you hate facts about Apple
products... so much that you wish me dead... simply for telling the facts.

Interesting how much you, nospam and Rod Speed all hate facts about Apple.

No, you're a dumb ass for signing into servers and then complaining when
the servers ask you to verify your credentials. If you don't sign in,
you don't get asked for your credentials, idiot. You have to be a boomer.
There's no other explanation. Also, stop bitching and moaning about
insults when every single post you make here for the past decade calls
Apple users "iKooks" and worse, you fucking crybaby. 🤣
