RCS (Rich Communication Services) will bring a number of iMessage-style features to texts between Android and iPhone users. This includes things such as read receipts, typing indicators, and higher-quality images and videos.
The one thing that won't be changing, however, is the color of the messaging bubbles.

Short primer.
RCS is something that Apple initial help fund the development of. As is usual, when a bunch of companies get to gather to create a protocol it gets bogged down my too many cooks in the kitchen. This was the case with USB 3 or USB C or whatever and why Apple developed lightning cables. It is shittier than iMessage and currently encryption only works by sending everything through Google servers lmao. It basically does everything iMessage does that normies need but came out much later and is bulkier and the roll out sucks because it is based on carrier and Google support and there's a laundry list that I don't care to type up and if you're still reading this what the frick is wrong with you.
Q & A
Why is bubble color important?
It helps us in the dating world know who is capable of making smart purchases as well as an idea on how much they will be able to contribute in the relationship. I don't mind paying for dinner but if she expects for me to provide her gum after she blows me sorry girl

I read that most of the RCS stuff on Android is proprietary shit from google, so most likely will not be available on iOS. Basically a doa feature.

I turned RCS off the second Google introduced it. The other person doesn't need to know that I'm ignoring their message or spending a really long time trying to figure out how to respond

People who spend more than a couple hundred on a phone are r-slurred anyway. You don't need much power to send texts or use GPS and there's nothing else worthwhile that you'd use a phone for other than games, and willingness to play phone games is an even more accurate measure of low IQ.

If phones could play GTA San Andreas ten years ago, there's no need for the ultra high end today.
My wife was going to buy the S22 Ultra, had to sit down and ask "is it worth the extra $400 over an S22+ to get a better camera? What are you taking pictures of besides the cats?"
Most phone commercials now barely mention anything beyond camera specs, the zoom and number of lenses being a peepee-measuring contest.
So Samsung cheats anyway

I always see Apple shit on for that but honestly, it's perfectly understandable to limit power usage on old batteries, hopefully letting the phone last most of the day.

Apple is terrible about replacement device support. Swapping genuine hardware from two identical phones and it would fault out.

You could schedule an Apple Store battery replacement for a 5s, a phone from 2014, and get it's battery replaced for $69.
This is the standard cost for most models. This 2014 model also got a security patch in January.

It costs like $50 to get a battery replaced here in Europe on any iphone model with a new genuine part and including labour at one of any licenced phone repair shops like iFixit. You just hand your phone over at the shop for like an hour, go watch a movie or somehting and come back to collect your phone afterwards. Right to repair legislation means Apple has to allow this by law or get fined billions. It works great.

The problem is software is a moving target in 2023.
Back in the day you'd install a word processor and it would run that same version of the word processor for years. Nothing changes, demands are static.
In 2023, everything is done on the internet and everyone expects to do more every year. Every app on your phone was probably updated in the last month with more features that will tax the phones specs just ever so slightly more.
Should developers give more of a shit? Probably. but the ones trying to make money are probably going to choose tools that speed up their dev time, not save you cpu time.

Nobody is asking the phone to do more, developers are putting more in that nobody requested.
So many apps now have a feature where if you shake the phone, it assumes you're frustrated and asks if you want to file a bug report. Snapchat does not need to be monitoring my phone's inertia sensors.
It's actually a native function in Android, .withReportOnShakeEnabled

That's not what happened.
If your battery had degraded to a point your phone would literally shut off they would throttle your chip.
The method of silently doing this and not communicating to the user better was bad, but there was nothing wrong with what they did.

Thats what they claimed but "degraded" was like 80% battery health.
They didnt want people to get the battery replaced instead of buying new.
Jump in the discussion.

Yes 80% battery health is around 2-3 years of usage which is when it stops delivering in-spec voltages
