One of the advantages besides hopefully a better experience is that any problems or lack of support either by OEMs or carriers will get fixed ASAP. I expect Samsung, Google, Motorola, etc will make sure that their default messaging app supports RCS by default and well.

But, this also means that the universal profile will win and any issues with it will get better. Google, the carriers and likely all other Android OEMs are going to scramble to make it as good as it can be. They will make sure group chats don’t break, that videos and pictures are sent in decent quality. Make sure that things like reactions, typing indicators, etc work.
Apple has picked a side and like with so many other standards, I think everyone else will bend to follow suit. If there are problems at launch with certain Android phones, the first one that works seamlessly will get a leg up.
Apple is the 800lb gorilla in the space and what they do, others will follow. This is a good outcome. It might not be great at launch, but give it a year or two and it will shake out.
It will hilarious how much he had to break the machine to get those coolers in.
The tech is cool though. I don't think Apple will put active cooling into the Air though. The passive is good enough for what Apple wants with the Air and is one of the few ways they can differentiate between the Air and the base level Pro. As long as the throttling is within reason and only affects more pro workloads, I think the silence is a bigger advantage.
