No, for real, why are these posts filled with comments from people acting like Apple needs to be defended on this? It hurts absolutely no one except Apples stock holders and makes a better messaging environment for everyone.
So why the hell are you playing defense for a 2 trillion dollar company when all they’re being asked to do is not fuck over other phone users?
While I don’t feel the need to defend Apple, I do feel the need to shit on Google for their motivations.
It’s not altruism that’s causing them to do this, it’s their own shitty decision making which left them uncompetitive.
Their list of messaging/communication apps competing with FaceTime/iMessage is maddening. Have I missed any?
Google Talk
Hangouts
Google Chat
Google Meet
(Android) Messages
Allo
Duo
Because its cool to hate Google on Lemmy
seeing people get all upset and bothered and acting like white knights for corporations that would instantly f them over first chance they get to make a buck was always a boost to my confidence, no matter what happens at least i will never be that stupid.
If the alternative is trusting Google I’d rather stick with SMS. Implementing their closed source version of RCS would be a mistake. I’d half expect them to inject ads into the messages
