Guys, please can anyone explain for a dummie this advanced English: "And sure there's already signal for cross-platform secure columns, but the network effect of iMessage among US teens and US tech media types means not having to convince anyone else in your life to download and switch to it with you, at least if you choose not to care about Apple just totally sherlocking another app category and removing cross-platform as a major differentiator and don't think regulators would care either" I understand each individual word but I can't get what he means.

Supporting RCS would be the best move to be honest. If Google keeps expanding features then Apple users would benefit from the API integration. Plus us users would enjoy texting our green friends more.

If RCS stays and doesn’t become another Google abandoned effort then yes, Apple should integrate it into Messages with SMS. So if a person uses RCS have the features that RCS supports and make the chat bubble teal. If it’s SMS because either the person doesn’t use RCS or their device doesn’t support it leave the colour green so we know. I use the colours the original way - to see if the message is free or not and I can use features such as replies. If the contact is overseas and I see green I’ll email them to find a free app we can use.

Very well explained and presented as usual. 🙂 I also appreciate that a prominent tech KZreadr has effectively explained why the blue and green bubbles are the colours they are, and not for the common false assumption that some messages are green because that’s the primary colour of Android’s branding. Blue is internet and green is cellular. That’s how Apple has incorporated that use of colour since the beginning of iOS.

I knew what the blue and green bubbles meant but I never understood why they were picked to represent what they do. Thank you Rene for once again teaching me something and at the same time explaining a complex issue in as clear and concise a way as only you seem to know how to do.

Very informative analysis as usual. WhatsApp is probably more popular in my country, India, than most other places. Before smartphones came along, we would use sms too, but it cost us and we found ourselves spending money on buying unlimited messaging packs etc. However, with smartphones and in an effort to ensure more Indians go digital, data was made incredibly cheap, which made it way more affordable to communicate over WhatsApp than sms. In the US, data is expensive and therefore it makes sense to stick with the default messaging app and avoid the cost of sms, i.e green bubbles.

Far be it from Apple to build a door into their walled garden for anyone but folks who own 3+ Apple devices. They could make this work for their users and others if they wanted to, but...they don't.

This entire video is not only too fast, but entirely confusing!

I literally just want them to support it for the read recipients, typing indicators, higher quality photo/vid & encrytion across both platforms the bubbles can stay green for all I care because I don't use an iPhone, but I hate when I have to send stuff to an iPhone because it always ends up looking crunchy and they assume it's your fault, but if I send to most of my Android/Galaxy friends using newer phones they have the RCS active so it's the same affect for us on Android when messaging an iPhone it sucks 💁🏾‍♂️

Apple COMPLETELY STOLE Blackberry's Blackberry Messenger (BBM) concept. They were doing that whole thing way before Apple.

I got to 13:39 and thought: “wow - what a great idea!… so why did they pick the absolute worst ‘piss’ yellow color to showcase it? Purple, obviously would have been a way to show it, and have it look enticing. Thanks for killing it in the crib” 😂😂

I've had an iPhone for years but I refuse to use iMessage on my iPhone. One reason only because it's not universal and it's solely limited to Apple products instead of working across the board. I find that to be frustrating and annoying! Sms doesn't discriminate so I just use that all the time

Apple could always implement their own version of RCS. So long as it implements the Universal Profile which IS NOT controlled by Google then they could use their own servers and apply end-to-end encryption across the board for both group and one-to-one conversations. If Apple allowed for the API's to be freely available to developers then they wouldn't even have to develop a native Android app. Third party developers would happily do that for them on the Android side and users would just check the box in settings to use Apple's RCS implementation. Then Apple gets to sit on it's moral high horse of truly caring about users' privacy (assuming it doesn't affect profits *cough China *cough).

By just implementing RCS they would not for second make any change in the "messaging world". If they would release iMessage as a cross platform-app though they would challenge all the big messaging-apps. But they won't.

I though I know it, lived it, even talked about it, it great to have someone tell the story from end to end. Classic RR.

Didn’t MKHD already make this video

Balkanization at its finest. Video calls were part of 3G standard, but later somebody approved Android/iOS models that don't support call forwarding, call recording and industry wide standard, but instead poison with messages, duo etc.

RCS has to replace SMS seamlessly if there's gonna be any point to it. And it has to be phone number based. Apple has the right idea. Default to iMessage to other iPhones if both logged in, second option RCS if recipient logged in. And backup option is to SMS/mms. Simple but genius.

this explains the weird messages I get now and then that say someone "liked" my text which I find to sound childish sort of

Its crazy that some people atill blame Android phone or Google for the green bobble, the green bobble is only on iPhones - Not on Androids.

From what I understand Apple doesn’t like to do a half hearted job when it comes to products and services so if they did decide they want to do something with RCS it might take a while. Google is a bit more loose with that sort of thing, they’re very much a fan of get it most the way there and fix things later… kinda like what we have with modern games where they fix half the game later on. Reading various comments and as you somewhat alluded to I think the best idea I’ve heard is for Apple to do their own version of RCS though I get the feeling that they’d leave the bubbles green partially for laughs but mostly so you can differentiate between RCS and iMessage. Though with the Android logo being green it kinda works.
