    Apple, didn’t want to, because silly immature folks in their teens in the states might care about imessage being the only official apple supported messaging app. Most f the world doesn’t give a shit in general about imessage, but apple wanted to get those lacking in maturity to prefer it there’s. It’s really that simple. They got forced to work with others anyway.

      Apple’s developed a much more powerful ecosystem than any android device, and they used that power to control the mobile carriers (from China to France to India and even Brazil). This had nothing to do with teens in the US - they wanted power to demand the world wide carriers to do what they wanted and this was one of the ways they did it. It’s much more complicated than iMessage.

      That’s why I’m skeptical that RCS will happen in the near future.

      Sorry to burst your bubble friend, but a trillion dollar company is anything but “simple”

        Apple isn’t even the dominant platform globally dude. Most folks use androids not iphones globally. Most folks also don’t give a shit about imessage. They don’t even use it even if they have a iPhone globally.

        Sorry to bust your bubble, but you have no clue what most of the world is even doing on their phones. Apple wanted an advantage for little minded folks. Grown people don’t give a damn about imessage.

          I’m sorry you’re upset about Apple being what they are, but while most of the world doesn’t have an iPhone, Apple commands the dominant share of the phone market by dollars, and by software. And like it or not, every mobile carrier in the WORLD has to cater to Apple when it comes to device requirements. So after 15 years of working directly with these companies, I can confidently say Apple and their chosen feature set does matter, even if you don’t like it.

            You seem the only one upset honestly. I’m just stating the fact that since most folks don’t own an iPhone to begin with they don’t really care. Even those that do own globally do not really care about imessage lol. I’m sorry that bothers you so much, but it’s simply true.

              You seem extremely uneducated. Apple’s goal isn’t pure marketshare. They didn’t become a trillion dollar company dictating the entire smartphone market by selling iPhones for $100 trying to flood the market. Sorry you can’t comprehend that.
