RCS on iPhone: A big WIN for Android! 

All we need now user replaceable battery

Welcome to android😂

Dont forget Apple opening up browser engines.

well now androids advantages are getting less and less

All this things are true, but I am almost 100% sure, that most iOS users wont use RCS messages regularly, neither will side-load apps, USB-C will be the only majority adopted change!

The EU should stay far away from telling the most successful US companies how to operate their businesses. The EU is just in a pissy mood with Apple because they tried to extort 14 billion euros from them on back taxes and lost on appeal in the European courts. The EU's real role should be to create an environment for encouraging the starting up of competitive European companies.

Couldn't happen to a greedier company.

It's like we're free here in Europe😅

i don't know what you're talking about, 80% of Europeans I've asked said that they would 100% switch to an iPhone if they had the money to do so

Only young people like Apple, most of us use Android

True, but they are definitely salty about being coerced into adoption, so they'll leave whatever they can to still market iOS as superior as given by their statement

@@the_garniiics of course, which is why iMessages will remain exclusively blue. It is after all, more secure than RCS

The won't. They've since stated that rcs will be green. Despite it violating Apple's own accessibility standards

SMS is RCS older version so it makes sense both remain green

@@mirzarizwanbaig9449 no it doesn't. Just because it is an older version doesn't mean it is the same thing. An RCS message and an SMS message being sent are different levels of security and quality, just like the difference between iMessage and SMS

LMAO welcome to 2019??? it took Android over a decade just to get close to imessage (still not there) so welcome to 2011 Google

To be fair, iMessage is vastly superior to RCS and has been around since 2011.

​@@doboy930googke wasn't in the phone game initially they bought android in 05 first phone wasnt out til 08. Rcs was firmed in 08 but didnt have a working product til much later. Google wasn't late on rcs at all.

You realize Apple played a key role in developing the USB-C standard, right?

​@@notme22And they enthusiastically put it on every product (barring peripherals) except the iPhone, even getting rid of USB Type A

SAME!!! I think I’ll be switching back to Samsung once rcs is running. Throughout middle school I had an s6 edge, then an s8+. I loved using my Samsung bc of all the customization options, good battery and great camera. But I switched to iPhone in 9th grade because everyone had em plus iMessage and FaceTime abilities my Samsung didn’t have. Since then I’m kindve stuck in the Apple ecosystem and miss having a Samsung. I’m hoping one day there will be a universal iMessage and FaceTime but I highly doubt that. Still though rcs is a huge step in the right direction.

iMessage is WAY better than RCS.

@@matthewdavisson Suuuuuuure it is... 😏

@@matthewdavissonIMessage is just sms, I’m on iPhone, it’s not as great as Apple fanboys make it out to be

@@ropro9817 I work in tech for the federal government. My degree is in CIS. Tech is t new to me. RCS caps out at 100MB. iMessage is capable of sending files 10xx the size.

​@@matthewdavissonYour comment makes no sense. RCS is a protocol, iMessage is an app...

Apple definitely get the message 💯

@@Max86421 Im sad because sms and mms was fine

Shut up green bubble!!

SMH nobody cares what color the bubble u have, it’s what it represents. It means u lack a lot of features that we have on imessage and now that person can't interact with u the same as they can wth someone on imessage. The problem with u Android users is that u never know what you're talking about bcuz you're on the outside looking in

​@@doboy930baaaa baaaa 🐑

​@@doboy930Android users know a ton more than brainwashed Apple users, that's for sure. And do you really think that Apple started the blue vs green bubble debate for practicality? It's clearly marketing

@@blastbottles baaaaaaaaa

as always

Who knows they didn’t tell much about type-c🤣

Um u are aware that Apple doesn't really talk about stuff that they didn't want to put in their phone? RCS is not an advantage for Apple it's an advantage for Android. So this does not need to be advertised to apple users bcuz its useless for imessage users.

​@@doboy930if yhat was true apple wouldnt adopt it cmon thats 🧢

@@WestSideBarson did u watch the video?? Apple is adopting it bcuz the EU is forcing them. NOT bcuz they want to add it to their phones. We don’t need RCS we have iMessage.

I wish everyone would just use signal

i use whatsapp... it is great. but I wish somehow I could use the my phone's native messenger just because it is simple. I found rcs a time ago, and it is amazing. whatsapp/telegram/signal are popular, and almost everyone had it *downloaded*. but rcs is a protocol, just like sms, mms... but a way richer as its name. and mostly of smartphones are coming with - not being needed downloading third party apps. I see it simple, utile, safe and great. communication could never be easier.

In North America, like he said, most people who have an iPhone don't use 3rd party apps to communicate. They use the default messages app that comes with the phone. And Apple has iMessage built right in to that same app. It provides nearly the same functions of a 3rd party app, without having to download and use those apps. And in North America, the iPhone has like a 50% share of the market, so it would make since for most to have iMessage anyways, whereas in the rest of the world, Android dominates. But one key thing most overlook, is that it took Google years to get anything to compete with iMessage that was also built into the default messages app. And don't forget, iMessage is true ENEE and has been since day one.

Imagine someone with an iPhone is bullying anyone because he or she is not another one of the millions of ignorants and fanboys that use the same ringtone as Kim Kardashian. 😃

But in other countries like mine, using whatsapp, then confuse why RCS and iMessage are so important

@@IwanTamimi cause unlike in the EU and other countries SMS and MMS weren't charged and arm and a leg in the US. Fairly early on they became unlimited. Then when Whatsapp came about it didn't have the impact it did overseas. also as soon as Zukerborg bought them people fled never to have anything to do with Meta or him.

@@RobertWilke The problem is mostly with the ecosystem, majority iPhone users take this idiot friendly, all in one solution by default so everything Apple is a norm, with Android you are free to choose what you use without need to be a part of the "ecosystem", but this requires some knowledge so here we are now.

@@BojanBojovic this is very much true.

Damn that sucks

Yep and they can do the same thing with iMessage. Apple has shown their willingness to comply with the government multiple times. You're only shot at remotely staying private is using Signal.

Me too. I have a Galaxy and an iPhone but I prefer my Galaxy way more even though my iphone is newer.

okay 1) punctuation is a part of English and is available for your use. 2) RCS support on iPhone is a huge win for both iPhone users and Android users, because it enhances the texting experience across platforms.

Cool story man

@@KP0719x thanks 👍

​@apodexse but bro is expressing himself freely not looking for an A+ on a term paper, stop being weird

​@@tacottogetherness7604never understood professors and RU-vid.

Same.

How? If you are thinking about the Steve Jobs ideology, sure but he is still bringing good products and maintains Apple's dominance in the mobile tech industry. Apple does need to innovate again.

Yeah because you know how to run the largest corporation in the world right? Moron.

Side loading as well.

​@@jacobperez8921 I wonder what Apple will implement in iOS that prevents 3rd party apps from breaking the GUI design of iOS or the security backend. Since both Android and MacOS(this includes all of what apple releases hw wise) are based on Unix/Linux and other open source softwares. This means that the success of any device like this is in the sale, as well as user adoption. Both Android and Apple have been able to help sell all of these devices successfully and both have gathered extremely large user bases. I switched from Android to iOS back in 2017, when the entire android ecosystem was still deciding on its GUI and service offerings. I enjoyed exploring new features offered through new hardware, but once that became consistent. The GUI changes started to get annoying and frustrating because every phone upgrade meant that I had to change what software I was using, and I had to rethink about all my data. Even within the Android ecosystem. Plus, most OEM would only provide critical Android OS updates for a short period of time. Meanwhile Apple has offered consistent GUI experiences, and consistent software upgrades. Although sometimes, the feature set has been lacking and..... this is exactly why I started with Android first then switched to iPhone. From the computer side of things, it's more like Android if you use a Mac instead of a Windows computer. So, if you think about it.... Android and Apple contribute and make the same things.

Apple may only implement sideloading in EU only

@@IwanTamimi Bad news for people from Latin America and North America, then. I don't have a iOS device cause I dislike iOS for my own reasons, but I won't tell you.

MKBHD -_-

RCS is by definition end to end encrypted.

@@avkay12 the universal profile is not end to end encrypted. It’s up to tech companies to add the feature or not.

It won’t be e2ee.

Sunbird is a super hot mess. I tried it on my Pixel and it sucked. It’s slow, lags, delayed messaging, sometimes doesn’t send at all, and it isn’t full featured. The best way to go is iMessage on an iPhone.

Green bubbles is an iPhone problem

@@kun00im glad there’s still blue / green divide on imessages

Now RCS has pretty much all the features so there's no need for iMessage Apple ID issues and nonsense.

iMessage and really innovative iPhone design of the time (2011) killed Blackberry Messenger

Lol a lot of folks probably will follow you.

@@octavian-codrut.popescu- I can relate! However, I'd been using WhatsApp long before FB/Meta acquired it.

​@@octavian-codrut.popescuif only telegram had delivery ticks, id move to telegram completely

Know what it means is that Android and iMessage her will be the same thing

Which in turn would have Google enhance RCS too. It's a win win. This is the healthy competition we need

​@@br5twThey are both similar, not the same. iOS is a closed-source OS that is made and owned by Apple, while Android is Open-Source and used by over 1,300 tech brands globally. Android is more flexible and customizable than iOS and Android has bigger utility compared to iOS.

Healthy competition is always better for the consumer.

@@shortyg1018 Yeah, but iOS is not always healthy. There are most ways that Android is more healthy than iOS in terms of utility, function, flexibility and simplicity. For me, Android does have a simpler User Interface than iOS. iOS is easy too, but I find iOS a bit more harder to use than Android. I do agree that healthy companion is better for a consumer, but stick with what whatever you enjoy using :)

We just need to Glorify or intensify the use of GoogleMeets on the outside of US. GOOGLE NEEDS TO Market separate commercials for GoogleMeets not trying to beat anyone here in 2023 or 2024 what we gonna say " we're moving forward" dont care what others do.

Its in addition to SMS i thought as i thought SMS was still going to be there so iPhone will have SMS RCS and iMessage

It does kill the major draw of iMessage. In almost every aspect RCS can compete well.

@@stpedro-ht9ng yet its still green.

@@burhanbudak6041 ok and what does that matter? Now there’s barely a functionality difference. People never cared about the color of the bubble so much as the shortcomings of MMS/SMS

@@stpedro-ht9ng I and many are don't go along with Google they started to ban root users from RCS. So I'm all on Apple camp now, I hope the GSMA version wins over Google version.

​@@matthewdavissonBut one feature that iOS has not yet received is RCS. It's vecaise of the European Union and Google forcing Apple to switch from SMS/MMS to RCS.

There's only one version of rcs, you Apple people are stupid asf 😂

EU sucks

Here in the states, yep! And it's not just teenagers, my adult friends give me grief for not using an iPhone but are first to ask me how to use their devices lol

I think this will help more people leave apple ecosystem. Seriously I been fighting apple for years because. Android is better in every way

@@owomushi_vr just seems android works better with other devices outside of their ecosystem like speakers or home products.

Thanks to Google for the 4 years trying to convince Apple to join RCS!!!! Thank you Google!!!!!

Indeed! I use both Android and iOS and I am glad to see Apple come around with bringing RCS support to iOS.

@@peacelovehappiness15 not for me....I give all the credit to Google for this!

unessasary move by apple
