“Buy your mother an iPhone.” That has been Tim Cook’s answer to the questions about the implementation of RCS to iPhonesthe modern alternative to SMS that should have been standard for a long time, and after seeing that we can even send messages via satellite with an iPhone, It is clear how complicated it would not be to support RCS in iOS.
However easy or difficult it may be, Tim Cook doesn’t think this is a fight that belongs to them, even given Google’s recent campaign urging the company to do just that. In fact, at the time Apple briefly considered offering iMessage to Android usersas we read in gadgetbut these plans were cancelled.
In any case, this is a problem that mainly affects iMessage users in the United States, Well, for example, in Spain, this problem is not very relevant given the great popularity of applications such as WhatsApp or Telegram.which make the fight between RCS, SMS and iMessage irrelevant.
Last but not least, Cook indicates that Apple will not take care of RCS “at this time”, so it is possible that in the future we will see how the technology is implemented in the iPhone.
