RCS is so much better than SMS. All praise Apple for inventing such a wonderful thing. I just wish they’d invent some sort of port that I could plug headphones into.
RCS is garbage.
And you should use /s to let people know you’re being sarcastic.
Frankly, the iMessage approach has been the answer forever, Signal had the idea for a while and dropped it.
Why downvote
Probably because the article in no way has a tone of “hail apple” and instead is just informative about who can use RCS on which carriers on iPhones. It even says
So it’s not denying the fact that Apple didn’t previously support RCS. As pointed out in an above comment, you can only use RCS on Android through Google’s messages app, so it’s not like Android has been some bastion of open standards here, each corporation is driven by profit.
