In the US, Apple’s iMessage is so popular that the fact it shows texts
from non-iOS handsets in a different color is a big deal. This status
anxiety is so great, the Android world has begged regulators to force
Apple to… change the color of a text bubble. Now, Nothing is taking
matters into its own hands, partnering with unified messaging platform
Sunbird to hide that shame. Sunbird uses your Apple ID to route comms
between your Nothing phone and your friends’ iPhones through a server
farm of Mac Minis. If it works as well as promised, it means your
friends won’t know you own an Android handset… until the next time you
see them in person.

Of course, none of this is happening with Apple’s blessing, so it needs
a workaround. You need to hand over your credentials to a third party
and risk the fallout should Apple decide to intervene. Nothing CEO Carl
Pei believes Apple can’t risk the bad PR if it shuts Sunbird down, but
that’s not a bet I’d like to take. It’s worth saying this is almost
unique to the US — most of the world just uses third-party platforms
like WhatsApp. Not to mention if your friends give you grief because of
the phone you own, they aren’t your friends.

No reasonable person will ever accept a man in the middle. And certainly
not on consumer grade devices.

Apple have the trust credentials to "be in the middle".
