I’m curious how this is different from what we’ve had for a few years already… I could already send and receive calls from my MacBook for years. The biggest difference I see is the dial pad, and access to VM on the Mac. 

What makes it so hard to calculate speed?

I wonder if it’s possible for Apple to work with the RCS Consortium group to make the packages small enough. That could help make this sort of satellite based communications possible on other phones as well. 

As great as this is, in order for Apple to be taken seriously by the pro crowd, they need to bring back the Mac Pro's ability to have extra PCI slots that work with whatever people want to put in them, not just what Apple says is ok. They also need to bring back the ability to use Thunderbolt and external GPU's. Adding in some sort of ability to use Windows would be a plus, either with VM support or some new version of Boot Camp. Until THAT happens, I'm staying with my Intel Mac.

whatever the chosen method.... Apple should introduce a cross platform messenger 

It has one. It works fine. Emoji’s text content, photos, video…

There is literally nothing wrong with the current implementation. 

Google just wants everyone to use their standard instead of Apple’s better standard. 

If someone wants iMessage so badly, they can buy an iPhone and get an upgrad on everything else too. Win-win. 

Oh…wait… they ARE doing that. No wonder Google is resorting to this crap. 

Apple does not have a “standard”. That implies cross platform compatibility. iMessage only works on i devices
