☆ 3 ways Apple’s monopoly lawsuit could change the iPhone experience for fans
  + stars: | 2024-03-26 | by ( Samantha Murphy Kelly | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
Apple added that the lawsuit could empower the government “to take a heavy hand in designing people’s technology.”But if successful, the lawsuit could ripple across Apple’s products and services. Anna Moneymaker/Getty ImagesChanges to the App StoreIf found liable, the company could be forced to change a number of things. One such change is how iPhone users could get greater access to “super apps” that have been largely restricted before. More open servicesAnother likely change is how hardware from other companies, such as smartwatches, will interact with the Apple range of devices and software, including the iPhone and Apple’s services like Fitness+. But Apple’s success stems in part to its tight grip on its products and services, keeping things intuitive and seamless.

☆ Apple Says It Will Improve the Green vs. Blue Texting Experience
  + stars: | 2023-11-18 | by ( Lola Fadulu | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Starting next year, it should be less frustrating for iPhone and Android users to text one another. Green message bubbles signal that they are coming from an Android or other non-iPhone user. But they have come to be associated with an unpleasant texting experience for iPhone users, whose messages are blue to indicate that they have been sent via iMessage. The green bubble is here to stay, however: It will signal when RCS is in use. The technology “will work alongside iMessage, which will continue to be the best and most secure messaging experience for Apple users,” Apple said in a statement.

Apple will support RCS, Rich Communication Services later in 2024, according to 9To5Mac. AdvertisementThis is a reversal from what Apple CEO Tim Cook said about the idea of RCS texting last year. In 2022, Cook said that he didn't get many requests to improve cross-platform texting. He encouraged an audience member at the 2022 Code Conference to switch over to Apple when he asked about cross-platform texting. AdvertisementThis was part of a campaign called #GetTheMessage, which according to Android, was launched to encourage Apple to support RCS and modernize cross-platform texting.

☆ Apple will make a big change to iPhone messages next year
  + stars: | 2023-11-16 | by ( Samantha Murphy Kelly | Samantha Kelly | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
The change – first reported by tech site 9to5Mac – will add features, such as read receipt, typing indicators, better support for group chats and higher quality media sharing of images and videos, across platforms. Apple told CNN in a statement it will add support for the standard, called RCS (Rich Communication Services), later next year. Meanwhile, Google, which already has support for RCS within its messaging app, has been vocal about wanting Apple to adopt the standard. The move, however, doesn’t necessarily mean the green bubbles (Android or other users) and blue bubbles (Apple users) that are displayed when messaging someone on the other platform will go away anytime soon. “Instead, RCS support will enable a smoother and better customer experience of iPhone users communicating across platforms.

A Google ad told Apple it doesn't have to "drop the ball" on fixing "pixelated photos and videos." The ad is part of Google's #GetTheMessage campaign urging Apple to adopt the RCS standard. In the New Year's-themed ad, Google shared lines of RCS code to help Apple "get the ball rolling." In December, Google continued its campaign against Apple with a "happy birthday" post for SMS which turned 30 in 2022. Apple CEO Tim Cook has said he doesn't hear many requests from Apple users to fix texting between iPhones and Android phones.

☆ Tim Cook's attitude towards iPhone users wanting a fix for texting is condescending: It's time for Apple to talk to Android
  + stars: | 2022-09-16 | by ( Michael Gartenberg | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
The company's refusal to fix this is a burden on iOS users, not Android users. But the company's refusal to fix this is a burden on iOS users, not Android users. If iMessage is truly a major reason that iPhone users stick around, then Apple is on a slippery slope. The more these interoperability issues plague Apple users, the more users will find ways around iMessage. The undistorted reality is, despite Tim Cook's comments, Apple users do want interoperability.
