The fact that the iMessage team still can't figure out how Apple's own sync works is mind boggling.

Messages are always lost, or marked as read when they are not, or marked as unread even if I deleted them on other device, or...

Isn't this only a problem if one of your devices trying to access these messages is a non-apple device?

For a while I was switching between an iPhone and Android (I was deving on both platforms and so would switch them out regularly).

Then I found out the Apple would think I was still using the iPhone, and would therefore would send my messages via iMessage, and I'd have no idea I wasn't getting them.

But what incentive does Apple have to change this? And realistically, how many people does it impact.

Do most apple people know that iMessage isn't using SMS? I think they just look at it as an app that sends messages to everyone.

Funnily enough, no. iOS <-> MacOS sync has been broken for ages, and keeps being subtly broken in different ways with each new oOS release
