In exchange for security loss, is it really worth it?
Edit: the downvotes are very expected. You people need to lean about why this is important

That's about beeper, not beeper mini. Mini was just launched, that's older information that only applies to the MITM version (beeper which is now beeper cloud).
Beeper mini talks directly to the services you use, no MITM, which is why they plan on adding more services to mini until it can replace the older Beeper (cloud).
My understanding is that this absolutely applies to their previous iterations, but not this -- there's no authenticating with your Apple ID, for example. It's sending and receiving iMessage data directly between the Apple servers and your device, now.
