Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.

    So I doubt RCS could be as bad except if they remove the ability to operate with other RCS clients. And even for Google and Samsung that would be extremely stupid.

    Not really. If they got Apple to adopt it, they could extend functionality exclusive to Google devices, and eventually break the interoperability entirely. Neither of these companies can be trusted to do the “right” thing.
