Yes No Is Tim Cook right to suggest this solution? - Results (16 votes) Yes 25% (4 votes) 4 No 75% (12 votes) 12 During a panel at Kara Swisher's final Code Conference yesterday, Cook was asked why iOS has not yet adopted support for the RCS standard and how Steve Jobs would feel about it (via The Verge), despite repeated calls from the industry for the company to do so. "I don't hear our users asking that we put a lot of energy in on that at this point," Cook said in response to the question. The lack of RCS support on iOS makes it more difficult for iOS and Android users to communicate, forcing them to in some cases use third-party messaging platforms such as WhatsApp or Telegram. The reporter who asked the question pushed Cook on his response, saying he and his mother find it difficult to send photos and videos to each other because she uses an Android device while they use an iPhone . "Buy your mom an iPhone ," Cook told the reporter who posed the situation.

Android uses RCS, and RCS is great. RCS is the standard. It's agnostic and every platform can implement it. Having an Android specific protocol makes no sense, and wouldn't help with Android to Apple messages. I'm not even sure what point you're going for here. --- http://i.imgur.com/v3SzL0d.gif http://i.imgur.com/n8MtRqd.jpg <cite>Ryangrad posted [p:968110074] in Tim Cook o...

That wouldn't help them. That would help people, but not their brand nor their bottom line. Forcing you into their ecosystem is what they want.
