So it’s up to Apple to make Google crap work cause if they don’t, they’re being hurtful and uncompetitive to the competition? Will the EU run interference for AAA games doubtful.
Nope. It's not Google's RCS, it's GSMA's RCS. Google's works just fine on the Android side with the add-ons for better integration and encryption, and Apple isn't using Google's version.
I don't think Apple particularly cares how well their flavor works, or if it's ultimately secure, as long as the Chinese are placated. I suspect Apple's considers it good enough as is.
1. But you stated that Apple was implementing GSMA RCS. So it's not Apple own flavor of RCS.
2. Hey, the last thing anyone want to have is a GSMA version of RCS, the Google version and an Apple version. If the government steps in...
3. And in China, there is no E2EE with RCS... you can count on China not allowing Apple to implement any version of RCS with E2EE, even if GSMA manage to implement E2EE on their version of RCS.
1. I never said it was Apple's own flavor. It is the older GSMA flavor Apple has chosen to use. Therefor, you agree with me.
2. There won't be a GSMA version and a separate Google version. Both will be using the adopted standard MLS for encryption. But Apple may be different. And no, the "goverment" does not need to step in to command Apple to toe the RCS line, nor would they, with a possible exception for China.
Forgot to mention all the issues with imessage support. I've been testing it out and any reactions other than a few from an android phone show up as "xxxx reacted 😂 to "your message"" or when reacting with a sticker it just sends it as an image. Apple still has a lot of work to do and it kind of seems like their implementation of rcs is crap. Not to mention "cannot support scheduling messages because of rcs" that is not at all how that works, rcs has nothing to do with it, just like how the standard has nothing to do with being able to select your text bubble colors. Apple has added some great customization features but they still have yet to add options to change text bubble colors and still use the redundant bubble color and short message indicating the messaging standard - either bubble color or indicator are enough, or even take the simple indicator samsung messages uses of a small bubble next to the contact.
Because Apple doesn't really give 2 shits about RCS. I think they're only doing it in the first place because use of the EU bitching about Apple's lack of support for it. Apple is basically doing the bare minimum RCS experience because RCS is shit to begin with. If they had their way I doubt they'd include it in any future version of iOS.

It was China demanding it, or no iPhone sales would have been allowed there. The EU couldn't give two hoots if Apple uses RCS.
