Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.

    They blame Android for that for some reason. Makes no sense.

      Apple deliberately makes it appear that way so the competition looks bad.

      They don’t really advertise the fact that they’re quietly intercepting all of their customers messages to other customers and routing them through a proprietary network.

      And if you dare leave, messages from your old iPhone friends mysteriously won’t arrive unless you proactively deregister your number from iMessage or it eventually expires out.

        …or when you are given a new number from the provider and dont find out it doesn’t recieve messages from iPhones.

        Happened to my fiance a few months back. She got a new number, and her dad received no messages from her. (He had an iPhone) It was fathers day weekend. All plans fell through.

      Cause they don’t realize it’s a protocol issue, they just imagine that only iPhone has progressed past 2007 photo technology I guess.

        First part is true, second part isn’t. Most people aren’t that dumb.

            That is a terrible generalization and even my less tech savvy Apple friends and family don’t think this.
