iMessage: Apple (AAPL) said it doesn’t have any plans to bring iMessage to Alphabet Inc’s (GOOG,GOOGL) Android, reports MacRumors. An interview with one of the company’s senior executives revealed that it isn’t interested in launching the service on Android for a couple of reasons. The first is that it believes it already has a large enough user base to accurately collect information for its AI learning efforts. The second is just that it said keeping the service on iOS devices will help boost sales.

Downgrade: Users that are testing out the new iOS 10 beta now have a way to downgrade back to iOS 9.3.2, BGR notes. The process requires the person to find the exact build of iOS 9.3.2 for their device and have it downloaded on a computer. After this, the person can use iTunes to select the build by choosing to “Check for Updates” and holding down the Shift or Option key. The process is fairly simple and it keeps the user’s data intact.

Keyboard: One person has imagined what a wireless Apple keyboard would look like with the rumored OLED function key row, reports 9to5Mac. The design of the keyboard is simple and would likely be welcomed by Mac users, but it’s unknown how the company would achieve this on the wireless keyboard. The concept is based on rumors that the new version of the MacBook will have a function key row made of an OLED touch display when it’s released later this year.
