So what? Reasonable file size limits and codec support in MMS predate the push for Google RCS. Besides, Universal RCS is still a broken mess.
At any time in the past decade carriers could've solved pretty much everything RCS claims (and fails) to address with mature, standards based technology. But somehow this is an Apple problem? Give me a break.
- yencabulator 3y agoYou seem to be talking only about MMS attachments, when GP just said "major features". Please understand that you come across as a fanboy defending Apple by finding a singular aspect in which something was not Apple's fault, and then saying the universally agreed upon improvement is a "broken mess", with no further contribution to the conversation.
- inferiorhuman 3y agoAnd you come across as a Google fanboy by jumping up and down about RCS despite interoperability being a mess for carriers that haven't bought Google's RCS stack. I'm not talking about a "singular aspect". MMS supports read receipts, modern video codecs, proper group messaging, and reasonably sized attachments. These are all features that carriers decided not to implement. Your interoperability problems are an MMS implementation issue, nothing more. Meanwhile RCS, which exists solely to monetize users, largely suffers the same fate as MMS even with the so-called Universal Profile. The solution for carriers in North America at least has been to buy into the Google stack. Ergo your complaints can be summed up as: Apple sucks because telcos did a shit job with MMS because they haven't implemented Google's RCS.
