That was an interesting read. There wasn’t actually any mention of green bubbles from Apple indicated in the article, but the emails referenced in a different article linked in that one quoted a top exec’s concern that adding iMessage to Android would only remove a barrier to parents buying their kids something other than an iPhone. The intent is pretty clear that they don’t want Android and iPhone users to be able communicate fairly in iMessage.
Still, isn’t RCS support enough? I mean, assuming you simply refuse to just ask other people to download a different app?
From a technical POV, sure. For the average person if Apple doesn’t show RCS as blue bubble? They still won’t care, and will keep excluding people, and keep getting Apple phone sales
