You better not make this about Android

You better not make this about Android, motherfuckers.  Apple fucked this up. Be better, Apple. I wouldn't put it past them to sabotage RCS on purpose to keep their precious blue bubbles at the expense of their customer's privacy.

Yup they are making it about Android.  

Saw another "Tech" article about this and they're spinning this into being Google Messages, RCS or Android's fault. Even if they don't outright say it they heavily imply it. It works fine for Google users. It's got end-to-end encryption. Google wanted this for iphones too. That was the whole fucking point but they're basically telling iphone users to not text androids using imessage because its unsafe. Like Android phones are going to send icky Android viruses. This is slander and typical inaccurate Apple biased reporting. It's same the ol "everything was fine before, let us just stay in our comfy little walled apple orchard" bullshit that Google was trying to fix. Apple didn't implement RCS correctly and everyone blames Google. Fucking typical.

It's been hard enough telling my iphone friends to update their fucking phone to 18. Hard enough to explain what RCS is.  Now this is going to just scare them off anything that is trying to make life easier for everyone.  But they don't care, they're like "Just get an iphone"  Eat my ass, you couldn't even be bothered to update your OS. The reason all of this is happening, how it's being reported is the same veiled discrimination towards anything that isn't an iphone.  The biggest problem with that is how basically tech-ignorant iphone users are they don't even know or care what is actually happening or why it will benefit them.  Now this news is coming out and they're like "SEE I TOLD YOU ANDROID SUX"  Bottom line: the attitude has always been 'they dont need us, we need them' elitist crap. 

Many people in other parts of the world don't understand the RCS/SMS thing because they've been using 3rd party apps for messaging for years. The sound logic for everyone would be to switch to WhatsApp or something like that but iPhone users are never going to change. They don't even know they can. Actually I don't use an iphone and because of how locked down iOS is I don't even know if they are allowed to change messaging apps.

A big change like this, one for their own good,  has to happen without them even knowing they did anything.  Apple users are beholden to Apple's command. They use iphones because they don't have to think about anything. That's a feature to them not a bug.  Make it seamless, don't announce it.  Just make it work and one day they'll be like "hey did you get an iphone, your bubbles aren't green anymore"
