Apple might be supporting RCS on the iPhone to comply with Chinese regulation

Wonder if they will comply in the same way as complying in the EU with alternate app stores / sideloading being region locked?

~~I think it’s already confirmed it will be available globally.~~

(Wish they implemented region locking for China’s other demand though, that is making AirDrop for everyone limited to 10 minutes)

Wait, isn’t it already the norm?

What exactly?

Airdrop for everyone being limited to ten minutes

Yeah, that’s what I mean. It used to be unlimited until China complained that people were using it to mass spread anti-CCP messages. Or so I’ve read, anyway.

Oh, sorry for the misunderstanding. I didn’t know about that, interesting.

Nothings been confirmed.

Ah oops. My bad. I guess I thought so because they didn’t say anything about region locking it, but I don’t think they did for the App Store stuff initially either.
