Apple is full of shit. I freaking doubt it'll take them a year.

During a question-and-answer session, a journalist raised the issue of the iPhone’s incompatibility with rich communication services (RCS) messaging, preventing the seamless sharing of video clips with their Android-using mom. It’s been a longstanding issue between Apple and Android devices. Cook acknowledged that it isn’t a top priority for the company. If the reporter wanted to fix the issue, Cook joked, “buy your mom an iPhone.”

Pardon me if we don't give you the benefit of the doubt.

There's definitely a difference between "not possible" and "not a priority."
