    krk, 08 Sep 2022RCS is a service hosted and managed by Google. Tim is doing... moreWell perhaps EU will force apple to open it in next few years so that iMessage will interoperable with other messaging apps. Its in the news recently

      Only thing they did with a lazy greedy stunt this year is lose one customer. I guess it was a good run with one iPhone. Still have it and still love it, but I realistically don't see myself buying another one next year or any time if they're gonna be doing repeats of last year's model for higher price...

        Don't worry, iPhone will adopt RCS after 10 years and it would be revolutionary.

          What an a**...

                    Dometalican, 08 Sep 2022....I haven't been charged for a text in years dude.That's good, but it's usually upto the carriers tho whether or not to charge for SMS. Some charge while some don't. Also, based on the monthly plan. Yours probably includes free texts, and so does mine, but sending international texts still costs. At least in this country

                      Lol, best of luck with that. Android Desktop Mode is one feature average consumers should be adopting and embracing more. All of my current Android smartphones have such functionality and I always use them when travelling light without my Windows PC. Do iOS have that kind of functionality? No? Then no thanks, iPhone is definitely out of my list.

                        you have to suffer, 08 Sep 2022why would anyone concerned about bubble chat color? anyways... morehere is one un-checked conspiracy theory ... big companies pay huge secret amount of money to create racist believe, and simply comment publicly ... convert to my product instead, problem solve !!!

                        the truth ... all the wrong things in this planet earth ... getting worse ... and big corporation and their secret organization keep silencing and ridding out any obstacle that stand in their way

                        one example ... in 1890s Nikolai Tesla has mathematical proof that high voltage wireless power transmission is possible, today, 2022, vehicles still roll on rubber or any synthetic chemical or replacements, and the earth will suffer much worse because of battery waste pollution ... while human proudly hanging batteries and computer processor on ear and soon on eye or maybe in the brain

                        its 2022, and no movement strong enough to bring that corporation down to safe earth and humanity

                          Anonymous, 08 Sep 2022Then stay stuck with ancient SMS which charges the user for... more....I haven't been charged for a text in years dude.

                                m-p-3, 08 Sep 2022How is not adopting RCS more secure? SMS is already awfully... moreRCS is as secure as your emails are in Gmail.

                                SMS might be old, but it's not unsafe either, since it runs through telecoms infrastructure.

                                  RCS is a service hosted and managed by Google. Tim is doing a correct decision here by avoiding it by all means

                                    Anonymous, 08 Sep 2022This is definition of "first world problems". Wow... morewhy would anyone concerned about bubble chat color? anyways its just a chat platform that just works. i dont really bother much on bubble color rather than going insane over it
