I will be very surprised if Apple's RCS support includes end-to-end encryption. Apple has said... "Later next year, we will be adding support for RCS Universal Profile, the standard as currently published by the GSM Association. We believe RCS Universal Profile will offer a better interoperability experience when compared to SMS or MMS. This will work alongside iMessage, which will continue to be the best and most secure messaging experience for Apple users." This doesn't include encryption, that's a Google extension and is not part of the GSMA standard. Indeed, I suspect we'll see only the bare minimum implemented by Apple. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/11/apple-announces-rcs-support-for-imessage/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/11/apple-announces-rcs-...
