I admittedly don’t know much about RCS but I know Apple won’t switch until they’re forced to.
If it allows some proprietary stuff to run on top of it I think Apple would be more inclined to switch (they could put iOS-only/iMessage stuff on top of it). Or not: it seems like they already love their iMessage codebase so probably they’ll just support both when they’re forced to implement RCS.
They won't use it until they are forced to 100%. iMessage has become a reason people get iphones. Peer pressure at its finest.
At least in the EU they will be forced to do something, with the DMA going into effect next year.
And if one big market forces them, chances are they'll adopt these changes worldwide to have no fragmentation to worry about.
I believe Apple successfully demonstrated iMessage does not meet the minimum user threshold to be forced to open that platform to third party applications.
They did? Okay, that's kinda funny, actually
I think it was something like 10% of the EU population has to use a platform, before it is mandated to be open. I message isn't that popular currently. I agree it is very hilarious
I guess that checks out. WhatsApp is by far the most popular messaging service in Europe, even some Apple users take it over iMessage between one another
