Comment on Apple announces that RCS support is coming to iPhone next year

So how will Apple craft this announcement in a way that avoids showing some kind of submission to the will and desires of the Android juggernaut? Let me guess… Anyone texting in from hardware other than an iPhone will still get the funky balloon color, eh?

Green was always the default in the Messages app. Apple added blue to distinguish new iMessages. I see no reason for RCS not to stay with the default green.
Tim Apple: “Today, we’re excited to announce 'Kumbaya Messaging’™️ for iOS, iPadOS, WatchOS, and MacOS! Kumbaya Messaging™️ brings not only Apple Ecosystem™️enjoyers closer together through rich, more connected communications, but will allow all your friends and family who are still using Android to be able to be able to enjoy all of your shitposting gifs, memeojis, and Live Photo™️ snapshots of your take-out pho, including the hilariously embarrassing audio you always forget about.”

This is the announcement. Next year during WWDC they will have a like item about it on a slide and that’ll be it. They will continue to have features that RCS doesn’t support, and they won’t work outside of apples ecosystem.
