Calls for Apple to support RCS in iOS
(All About Windows Phone)

There has been something of a social media storm over the last few days surrounding RCS support, or rather lack of it from Apple. Hiroshi Lockheimer, a SVP at Google was calling out bullies in the `playground`, wherein iPhone-owning teenagers were shaming Android-owning friends because of the colour of their messaging. So essentially iMessage versus vanilla SMS. But Hiroshi is calling for Apple to support RCS (Rich Communication Services), i.e. iOS could support all the standard messaging features and multimedia support that is more or less standard across the telecomms world in 2022. Which may not change the colour of messages on iPhones, but it would let Android users join in most of the rich feature set currently centred on iMessage. Baby unification steps?
