Yeah.

Because Apple has a proprietary messaging format. They won't adopt the standard the rest of the world uses or open theirs up for others to use.

Doesn't change that it's shitty now and has been for years.

They don't get credit for the EU pressuring them to be less shitty.

Yeah, I get that I wish they had done rcs earlier or whatever. Like I get not opening iMessage up, but at least support the best standard out there would be nice. MMS and sms are garbo
