But that doesn't matter. You're only one person. I think we can safely say apple users get pretty frustrated when they try to share videos with friends and family and Apple's decisions to not accept RCS completely fricks that up.

It would make folks like me, CAD, and many others more likely to consider Apple devices.


I am only one person but I bet they keep far more tied to the Apple system than they could possibly gain by opening up. No way CAD ever goes Apple because of just RCS. They aren’t dumb and they aren’t hurting for cash. There isn’t much to gain by opening up.

They are a for profit business, it would simply be idiotic to willing hurt their business model.

I don't know. I know it has worked for a while now, but I think (or hope) that eventually trapping disgruntled users will be less profitable than attracting and keeping happy users by offering a superior product and value. It irks me that sometimes (most of the time?) the market rewards vendor lock-in as a business model.

you may be right on that, but you also said it only sucks for android users. I completely disagree. Apple is fricking over their own users as well by not allowing the two systems to play nice.
