So. What exactly is the "RCS" that Apple is supposedly going to support? RSC for Android? RCS for Pixel? RCS for Samsung? RCS for Verion?
What's the point of a standard that has 5 different ways it's fragmented on the same base platform?
- TerrifiedMouse 3y agoRCS for iOS. 6 different ways it’s fragmented. :p Or maybe Apple will just implement it exactly as the spec says with no frills.
- neilalexander 3y agoThat is exactly what Apple will do: implement it by the spec. Then they can turn around to regulators and say they have done what they needed to do to be interoperable and, if compatibility problems arise, can point the finger right back at their competitors.
- surajrmal 3y agoWhy so cynical? Does Apple have previous experience doing such a thing? Typically everything they do they try to do well, and therefore I would expect them to make sure interoperability is good. The problem with Apple is that they only do what they want.
- lern_too_spel 3y agoFrom the article: "Later next year, we will be adding support for RCS Universal Profile, the standard as currently published by the GSM Association."
- kelnos 3y agoSo in other words, RCS without E2EE.
- kcb 3y agoThe point is that they interoperate.
