Given the iPhone's marketshare, is it RCS really the industry standard?
- lijogdfljk 4y agoDoes the iPhone have a standard that other phones could adopt? Ie is your argument that Apple has been pushing an alternate standard, but Google is rejecting it? If so what is it?
- nsxwolf 4y agoI could argue the industry standard for interoperable messaging is still MMS. Because Apple.

- jiggawatts 4y agoThe month-day-year format is the standard for 4.23% of the global population, but it's the default in most IT systems, including every globally-deployed cloud system I have ever used. What's your point?
- fomine3 4y agoYou should say thank you for localization system.
- jiggawatts 4y agoAh yes, that system where if I see a date like 11/12/22 on the web, then I can safely assume it is one of the following: 12th of November 2022 11th of December 2022 22nd of December 2011 Until I see a "disambiguating" date in the exact same context, I have localization to thank for making it impossible to determine what I'm seeing. And I mean exact same context, because there are web portal where you will see date formats in multiple formats on the same page!
- origin_path 4y agoBut most of those Android users are on WhatsApp. So, it's really WhatsApp that's the global standard, not RCS.
- yakak 4y agoYou only need 15.6% of a market to claim there are no standards?
- bena 4y agoGiven the source of the claim, are you surprised by the claim?
- flutas 4y ago> Given the iPhone's marketshare, is it RCS really the industry standard? It's funny to me seeing this statement, as half of the people out there push it the other way when discussing App Stores. "Well iPhone isn't a monopoly world wide."
