People complain when Apple doesn’t do a thing, and then when they do do it (even if it was for regulatory pressure) people complain that Apple didn’t hype up something they didn’t want to do in the first place (for the right or wrong reasons).
They’re a multi-trillion dollar company - of course they’re going to do whatever they believe will ensure their continued growth, this is how public companies work. I don’t get why people take it as such a personal insult.
- appplication 2y agoTFA is sort of amazing. They seem stunned at the repercussions, but in reality, the repercussions are basically negligible. Every iPhone user has gotten along just fine (for the most part) communicating with android users so far, and they’ll continue to do so. Maybe on the other side Android users get some nice benefits from iPhones playing along? But iPhone isn’t in the business of placating non-iPhone users. Why would it? The feature set brought by RCS support is also, for the most part, not particularly interesting or consequential to most users, even those regularly conversing between android and iPhone. > These are all great changes, but iPhone users won’t be able to use these features when chatting with someone on Android. And we don’t even know how the emoji created with Genmoji, Apple’s new AI emoji creation tool, will appear in texts sent to users on Android, either. And why would they care? I’m not interested in Genmoji in the least, but it’s a boring world if Apple needs to check in with Google, Meta, Verizon, etc on every experimental feature they want to add to messaging.
