It's that time of year again, folks. As the tech world has sights set on the latest Apple event that is producing the new iPhone 16 as we speak, we all know we'll be seeing slightly improved phones, some impressive specs, and a few 'innovative" or "magic" new features from Apple. For me, however, the...
Welcome to the party apple, we see you’re purposefully wayyy late yet again.
Not only do they have RCS, but they finally got USB-C across the iPhone 16 lineup!
Forced by EU! Thanks again, EU.
It was not an EU thing, it was a China thing.
It’s quite obvious as well looking back at it; if course China will mandate one of the weakest protocol with no end to end encryption.
Avoid RCS like the plague and use something more secure!
I was talking about usb-c, and I don’t care about RCS, but it is still better in everyway than SMS.
Literally no one cares about RCS.
Not entirely true… the American Android users care about it; Apple users will still default to the superior iMessage as opposed to the inconsistent carrier dependant RCS; rest of the world will use geo-preferred third party messaging app that also offer consistent experience between carriers.
“Buy your mom an iPhone” people.
Then I guess it’s nice for both of them that iOS will support RCS.
They do in the US, and you’re getting downvoted because of US defaultism.
But on a global scale, you’re right.
None of my android friends have RCS on their phone yet, but my iPhone does.
It’s more than likely that every single one of your Android friends have RCS on their phones.
I am absolutely positive none of them do, they show as sms and we keep using signal instead.
You having no clue is not the same thing as being absolutely positive.
my dude.
I have literally sat next to these people, just this past Saturday, and we were talking about just this BECAUSE our group chat for our game wasn’t “working” for us.
I know for an absolute certain fact that the three of them don’t have RCS, we all thought it was funny and moved on with our lives and switched to signal.
Idk why you’re so certain of something you’re otherwise totally ignorant to
You do not know for absolute certain fact, which I know for absolute certain fact because the likelihood of your claim is incredibly low.
Are your friends phones running Android 5.0 or later? (I’m sure they are) they have RCS. End of story. This is not something you can dispute, you’re just wrong.
You can be in denial about it, but your friends have RCS.
They need Google Messages and they need to enable it in the settings.
