"I don't hear our users asking that we put a lot of energy" into RCS, says Tim Cook in response to a question at Code. "I would love to convert you to an iPhone."

"I can't send my mom certain videos," says the questioner.
"Buy your mom an iPhone," says Tim.
I will never understand redditors jerking themselves into a frothing mixture of c*m and shit over RCS
I know the EU is working on legislation that touches on cross platform messaging, I hope it comes to fruition.
US redditard hoping the EU will fix a problem that, at this point, only exists in the US
Buy your mom an iPhone - Tim Cook
I love Apple but I really hope this bites him back. Gosh this is most anti trust thing I have read in a while.
Android user claiming to love Apple. Very believable. Also hopes they get reamed for anti-trust for telling people to buy their product. The smartest redditor.
Tim is well aware that offering iMessage on Android or adopting RCS would cause a significant portion of their customer base to consider Android, and would do nothing to attract users to iOS. It would be like Microsoft suddenly offering DirectX or ActiveX plugins on macOS in the mid-2000s.
This dude believes that 25%+ iPhone users will switch to Android because of this feature that no normie has ever heard of

Capitalism at work, folks!
He’s being a bit classist there.

It's some new texting standard (replacing SMS) that Androidcels want Apple to adopt into iMessage so they can finally do what iPhone users have been able to do forever (share full sized pictures and videos amongst other shit over text). This doesn't affect a good chunk of the world where people use Whatsapp or Messenger to text one another. But in the US, people tend to use iMessage.
Idk I think this is mildly true in the US. I'm going to switch my personal phone over to Apple partially because of this.

What does Android still have that iPhones don't? When I first chose Android it's because it had this revolutionary feature called "copy and paste" (woah!) and widgets (snazzy!) Now aside from launchers and custom APKs (RIP YouTube Vanced ) what does iOS lack?

Options. Talking about both the software (how much autism can you pour into your phone) or with the hardware itself. But as a whole, I feel like Androids lost their edge a while ago when their flagship phones cost the same or more than the Apple equivalent. The only people that unironically like Androids are antisocial spergs that live their lives on the internet.

Oh I see, so different phones use different file types, and cannot send or receive the wrong ones despite the existence of cross compatible file types and type conversion?
Dang too bad my Mom doesn't want to change her phone. Guess I'll have to buy an android instead. Thanks for resolving this issue Tim Apple :).

Maybe not 25% but Apple clearly believes interoperability would hurt Apple.
