Didn’t anyone read the article before they commented? Netflix has not allowed new in app (iTunes) subscriptions since 2018. 

Here is a link that has some history on RCS, but doesn’t tell the whole story:

Unfortunately, even though the three major carriers in the US have adopted it for Android phones, they are still trying to monetize it and RCS still only works within each carrier. It appears that each carrier has to partner with Google and I doubt that it is free. This is what I found on AT&T:

Good One! You forgot to add the /s at the end for satire. No one has taken the bait yet.

Many Anker and other charging adaptors do not have PD, instead they have what they call IQ which means that the voltage will not change and therefore they are limited to 5 volts and therefore 15 watts. So yes, 15 watts is better and faster than 5, 10, or 12 watts, but this is not considered fast charging. 

I realize you wrote "many" Anker chargers, not all. The Anker charger I referred to (model 512 Nano Pro) supports what the company calls PowerIQ 3.0, which supports power delivery at up to 100 watts but can not be advertised or certified as "PD" because USB-IF doesn't allow any other standard in combination with PD over USB C. The charger does change voltage as needed and I've even used their 1.7 ounce 30W Nano II GaN charger to charge 16" MacBook Pros at a good clip (importantly only while the computers sleep!). This tiny charger is far more convenient to carry than lugging Apple's power bricks.

Thanks! Yes, I just found the following information, so IQ3 is probably okay. 

What is PowerIQ and PD? 

These Apple charging adapters are USB-C PD (Power Delivery). PD is the standard from the USB-IF and is what EU is mandating in their new regulations for fast charging or for charging above 15 watts. All Apple devices that include fast charging or require more than 15 watts have PD.

Many Anker and other charging adaptors do not have PD, instead they have what they call IQ which means that the voltage will not change and therefore they are limited to 5 volts and therefore 15 watts. So yes, 15 watts is better and faster than 5, 10, or 12 watts, but this is not considered fast charging.
