In the US most carriers (and certainly the big 3) support end-to-end encryption via RCS. Though of course, Apple won't support the Diffie-Helman exchange outside of iMessage or anything RCS at all.

Until all phones use the same protocols in their stock messages app, SMS will still be used to send between the different platforms.
