I hope not. RCS still has issues. Example, it still requires you to have a phone number. iMessage can be used with an email address.

The Apple insider podcast gents did a nice break down of this a few months ago. iMessage is a lot more than just proprietary RCS.

I'd be happy with just a functional bridge between iMessage and RCS

It still has issues, but it’s much better than SMS, which is currently the only option for messaging between Android and iOS.

  I think both things are valid. Apple should adopt RCS, but also that standard should be further pushed to include better features and not just stagnate

    I’m willing to bet Apple will adopt RCS as soon as it can be implemented seamlessly.

    Never. The epic court case has evidence showing Apple views iMessage as a moat to hold their users hostage.

Let’s be honest, who the fuck doesn’t have a phone number in 2023? My 9 year old cousin has an iPhone SE.

  The point is that iMessage can be used with a computer or tablet that doesn’t have a phone number.
