#2> This is not Apple opening up iMessage to other platforms. Instead, it’s the company adopting RCS separately from iMessage.
Very important.

#3Hopefully I can turn it off.
I do not know anyone who uses RCS who didn't end up on WhatsApp or Telegram pretty quickly afterwards.

I don't mind Apple adopting RCS the same way that SMS is implemented. I like that iMessage can add features at whatever pace Apple wants. RCS will at least fix the annoying group message problems that Android/iOS have.

#5And eventually, we'll go through cvs, svn, and then _finally_ get git on the iPhone?

#6The next significant step would be opening up iMessage and I'm pretty sure that Apple already has implemented most of it. Otherwise, they cannot realistically follow the DMA timeline in the worst case where EU designate iMessage as a gatekeeper.

#7Note that this is "Rich Communication Services", not "Reaction Control System" from KSP which would have been a much more dramatic update.

Yeah this sounds like they consider that outcome is at least possible, if not outright expecting it.

#10I'm curious if this means Apple will run their own RCS service for their customers or will rely on a telco provided one.
I tried to find info for example about RCS in Australia, and saw a piece about Telstra launching RCS in 2017... but now it's apparently turned off and customers are expected to use the Google RCS service?
