Let's be honest, this is a win for all consumers. 🍏 https://9to5mac.com/2023/11/16/apple-rcs-coming-to-iphone/ #rcs #imessage #ios #android

Sounds too good to be true. Must be a catch.
Probably. Like Apple will keep android messages green to keep the bullying 😂
The article mentions that iMessage isn’t going anywhere, so I feel that somehow this will be a separate app in which case it’s not going to be a good experience for iPhone users.
There's zero chance apple is going to adopt RCS under a separate developed and maintained iOS app. That would only hurt iOS users It means iMessage-only features will continue to be developed
I think it will still show up green with some extra RCS features
The default experience is still iMessage. RCS might be the default when texting android but green bubbles still exist. But given the trend, someday the EU will mandate all PMs must be hand picked by bureaucrats. Wish there was a way to support companies that don’t cave to regulators
As long as group chats, read receipts, and uncompressed photo/video sharing work. No one will care on either iOS or Android side That's all consumers want
Well yeah that’s what android users want
Never understood this. Who even uses sms or these messaging standards anymore? (Except old Americans). It’s either WhatsApp, snap or DMs on a variety of apps.
Apple was the last obstacle to moving into the modern world of messaging standards For some reason people in the US still use iMessage and Google Messages
That’s the problem. All these messaging apps with different comm standards. The US and US companies love creating this messy bullshit. Just look at all the different types of propriety chargers created for different devices. You should just have one simple fucking thing with an input standard that charges devices. It’s a cash grab, it’s waste, generally fucking stupid, and pisses off consumers. Sony figured that out with PlayStation, but all their other crap - nope. It also drives down the cost for consumers, instead of being a highlighted revenue item for corporations. Considering all this shit is made in China anyway, it should cost $10 even if their was global standard. Sometimes uniformity works and having a global standard with encryption is better that a bunch of web apps.

Tech managers are given too much power
YOOOOO this is big. I’m an iPhone user, but when I text Android it is such a pain. Glad for movement in the right direction
Trust me it's a pain having to use SMS to text iPhone as well. Glad we can all finally move into the modern world on both sides.
