Yep, and I agree about keeping high standards, but replacing the nonexistent security of SMS with something that can't be easily stingrayed or passively collected by pervasive surveillance would still be progress. This combined with the potential path forward to the Android style is still something, more than I would have expected from Apple.
- olliej 3y agoWhat does "android style" mean here? Android has RCS which is just as insecure as SMS (encrypted chats aren't RCS, they're binary blobs using RCS as a transport mechanism - saying they're RCS is like saying iMessage is TLS because that's its transport mechanism)
