  • iOS 18 RCS rollout coming in the fall to bridge Apple & Android messaging gap

    ...Meanwhile everyone (operators which declared support) relying on Google RCS servers but it is not replacing SMS to any stretch of imagination in the meantime. It is just a version of any other messenger relying on data connection (like iMessage or WhatsApp)...
    At least for everybody tech savvy enough to have an RCS compliant messaging app, this pushes things forward for their friends using iPhones refusing any other messaging app.  I am not sure that you can send any high quality media or get read receipts over a non data connection. A 7-bit encoded SMS is very small because it's the data size required to connect a call. Anything beyond that will be data/server based.
