Listen to article(2 minutes)After nearly 10 years, my husband, Will, finally joined the Nguyen family iMessage chat.Will, a staunch Android user, infiltrated the group earlier this month using Beeper Mini.

Apple, Google Get Billions From Their App Stores. That’s Now Under Threat.

The outcome might ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court.Copyright ©2023 Do...
