Tieng to iMessage is not necessarily new.

You have been able to do this with Intel Unison app.

I'd guess that this will use the same mechanism which is Bluetooth.

The iMessage integration for Intel Unison is not great. For one it's not 100% reliable. Secondly, it doesn't work with group chats. Whenever, you get a message in the group chat, it just shows up as if it's a 1 on 1 conversation.

No. Same probably unless Apple gave them special treatment.

No, it’s using bluetooth the same. I had access to it for a few days before it broke. It’s pretty mediocre imo.
