Yes, that would be mutually beneficial both for Apple customers and people who are not Apple customers.

- raw_anon_1111 11mo agoWhy is that on Apple instead of the hundreds of other manufacturers and Google? If Google wants a better ecosystem, it’s on them since according to them Android was suppose to be the “definition of open”.
- xethos 11mo agoBecause while Android is "open", Google has no carrot (Verizon can't charge for OTT messaging and has no major incentive to push it), and no stick (pushing too hard will draw regulators' attention again) RCS has been stuck in limbo-hell for several years, and I expect it to stay that way (to your point, I expect it to stay that way even if Apple chips in)
- raw_anon_1111 11mo agoGoogle has a big stick - Google Play Services. They use it all of the time to get manufacturers to do what they want.
