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

I’m not denying that. Later on in the article it goes into further detail about how apple use the GSM RCS standard and “work to improve it”. Which means they won’t use Google’s version. So now we see what Google will do as Apple will not be working with them on the Google version after all their fuss about rcs.
My wife and I have a pixel while the rest of my family useses iPhone so I am quite interested in how this will turn out. If there is a way the two meet on the GSM standard I think it will be great. But will Google be willing to do that?

Name literally any technology standard, and it was probably co-developed by competing companies. It’s the rule, not the exception.

Yeah, it will definitely be interesting, if not tumultuous lol.
