Apple announced RCS with a whimper when it should have been a bang
Did you catch Apple’s RCS mention during WWDC?
You're viewing a single thread.
Of course it's a whimper, Timmy wants you to buy your mom an iPhone to chat.
That's it, for Apple the mere mention is already too much. Why would anyone want compatibility if they also just could buy an Apple product?
Also the reason why ipads and Vision don't support multiple users: not only should you buy an Apple product, but so do your partner, parents, kids, etc.
iPads actually do support multiple users. They just hide the ability to turn it on behind complex IT management tools that your average user would never be able to figure out.
This makes me so mad. I swapped over to an iPhone because my parents are old, don't want to deal with technology anymore, and just want to be able to video call me when I work on the other side of the world.
Great for them, but now I can't really easily video chat or text with any of my other friends because Apple makes anything other than Facetime/iMessage on iOS a dogshit experience. Signal/Telegram/Whatapp notifications randomly mute for me for no reason.
And you know what double sucks? If it wasn't so locked in, I would actually love my iPhone. Apple Pay with it's unique credit card number per transaction means I haven't had my credentials stolen in like 5 years. Bluetooth pairing and swapping is seamless and easy (yes even with non-Apple devices). Apple Music is actually better quality than Spotify and lets me upload my own library with no issues. And ofc phone itself is a really nice piece of hardware with a long support cycle. I'm still running my iPhone X (2017) without having to worry about security or software updates.
But fuck them for their "Apple only" bullshit, and every costing more than their Android counterpart. I'm so sick of their "walled garden".
