Apple evades lawsuit claiming messages to Android were blocked
6 replies, posted
[quote]Judge Lucy Koh has dismissed a lawsuit arguing that Apple effectively wiretapped iMessage chats to prevent them from reaching Android users. There's no mention of the reasons for dismissal in the court order. However, Apple had asked the judge to toss the case when it learned that two of the plaintiffs dumped their iPhones after the case began -- they'd eliminated important evidence.
As it stands, the wiretapping connection was strained. The issue wasn't that Apple was looking at and blocking iMessages, but rather that it didn't have a way to deliver those texts when recipients ditched their iPhones without deactivating iMessage first.[/quote]

I wouldn't really call having the case dismissed the same as winning it, there wasn't a case in the first place to be won after all.
Sucks shit, but at least they put up a dedicated deactivation page in the wake of it to prevent future troubles and to prevent people from having to call them if they've already gotten rid of an iDevice.

That page didn't work for me. Having said that all I had to do was ring them and ignore their constant attempts to sell me another iPhone and they eventually did it over the phone!
I moved from a iphone to android, with a new sim, and had no problems; didnt do anything prior. its probably only an issue with the unique sim id.

Why are they still letting this bitch preside over cases involving Apple?
