A few years ago, Cincinnati Children's Hospital standardized on iPhones and Epic/MyChart, with an iPad at every bedside. The laptops, though, still run Windows - and just this morning, as the nurses started the Q&A before my son's outpatient procedure, they complained about poorly-working computers.

What would be truly life-changing, though, would be for Apple to get involved in the user interfaces for medical equipment, the way they've moved into the automotive space.

When I enable RCS, my phone doesn't offer SMS as a fall-back option, the way it does with iMessage. Is this a bug or a feature?

A feature

Can you explain that? If an RCS message fails to be sent - say, because I have no data connection - why shouldn't the phone try sending it as plain-text instead, as long as I've deliberately set it up that way? Is that riskier behavior than the equivalent setting for iMessages?

Mostly the cheapskate customers…

No. Some of us genuinely have to think hard before plunking down $400 on anything. The SE has been truly a gift for those of us who need an iPhone for its apps, but simply don't have the budget for a cutting-edge phone. 

I have to say I'm disappointed - not in the hardware, but in the loss of a relatively affordable iPhone. I'd love to replace my SE 2020, but not for twice what I paid for it as an open-box phone.

Is the iPhone the only device using this controller?
