Well, it would change their experience. They would see improved photo quality to/from Android users via text messages. But Apple has managed to train people to think that Apple's refusal to put iMessage on other devices is somehow a shortcoming of Android.

Considering how much time Apple users spend bitching about green text bubbles and "shitty android photos" it would meaningfully impact their experience when talking to anyone that's not on iPhone.

yeah, people are use to having 10 different chat apps, and it seams to be normal, which is sad (somebody should make a standard! *insert that xkcd comic about making a better standard)

With RCS there seams to be less chance that they destroy it like they did with XMPP (google / Facebook and cie)

Yes, until now we've accepted to be governed by what Big Tech can convince "average users" to use and here we are.

Internet is controlled by a handful of company who decide what you read, what you watch, how you communicate with friends and family.

This isn't about making iPhone users care per se, I really think it's just a public perception thing.

Apple don't want it because it removes part of their marketing strategy. (Being, if your friends have Apple, you also need apple)

Apple Users don't know what it is.

You say you don't know what it is or does. Yet you say you'd love to have it. That's quite contradictory don't you think?

And it WOULD impact their experience.

It amazes me that people like you, who don't actually know or understand the topic, can be so vocal about your opinions and conclusions. About something you don't know.

It's the USB-C standard all over... "Apple and majority of their users don't care". And that's still not what it's about. It's about setting a standard so we don't need 9 different cables and 7 different apps, just to send a God damn picture or video.

Edit: I misread the comment. I take back what I said that's striked over. My bad. Sorry.

I’d love to have RCS if only because iMessage is literally the only reason I have an iPhone.

I got roped into it because all my friends and family refuse to change to be able to exchange media messages with essentially just one person.

Granted, as far as phones go, it’s pretty damn good and aged incredibly well. My 12 pro max performs better than any flagship I’ve owned previously would’ve at the 3 year mark.
