Just days after Beeper Mini was launched, it seems that Apple has pulled the plug.
Beeper Mini users have reported being unable to send messages, with the company stating it's "investigating reports."
In a statement to TechCrunch, CEO Eric Migicovsky surmises that Apple was able to "cut off Beeper Mini's ability to function."

Update: Apple confirms it took down Beeper Mini to 'protect its users'

Beeper says it's still working to fix the issue and hopes to share good news soon.

Phew, glad Apple is working hard to protect iPhone users from receiving images over 1MB from android users!

More like apple protects android users from falling into their trap.

Let's be honest, Google is just as much of a trap (and I use a Pixel).

With the way all Google apps are going, it won't be long before everything on Android is shit.

At least you have the option to install apps outside an app store... Til Apple allows that next year anyway.

Yes every month android becomes shittier, but every month linux becomes closer and closer to being ready (it's still a long way to go)
