That makes sense but what isn’t clear is how Apple plans on presenting its RCS support.
Does RCS get a separate app on iOS 17 or is it a mode in iMessage?
I can only imagine how confusing it will be to have multiple message streams in two different apps.
Then there’s the question ofwhat kind of RCS is Apple actually supporting.
They want end-to-end-message encryption turned into an intrinsic part of the RCS universal profile.
From a security perspective, it makes sense.
Like Apple, Google’s response is long on enthusiasm and short on details.
The encryption question is far from the last unsolved bit.
Still feeling green?
I don’t know why they should be when they probably won’t live alongside iMessage messages.
Perhaps Apple will go for yellow or purple.
Tan would be interesting.
Will that automatically drop into the new iOS RCS messages platform?
Switch to the new iOS RCS app for a full and better experience."
Now that would be something.
I have other questions likethe extent of the high-resolution support in RCS.
I’m also curious abouthow RCS messages will ultimately appear on iPhones.
Not much and I await Apple’s big reveal in early 2024.
