There's zero sense in charging anyone anything until apple decides to not find ways to block it. If there's going to be a cat and mouse game going on, the product isn't going to be stable enough to be worth using, so only die-hards are going to be willing to pay anything to begin with.

Them getting shut down so fast is not making them look reliable at all

The only way Beeper can make this work is to make it literally indistinguishable from a real Apple device, one that’s recent enough that Apple can’t simply drop it out of support. Seems unlikely but I’ve got popcorn so I hope they keep at it.
