In another news, Apple Inc. plans to embrace the RCS (rich communication services) technological standard next year, facilitating smoother text messaging between iPhones and Android devices.

RCS, an upgraded alternative to standard SMS and MMS texting supported by the GSM Association, enables enhanced text features across different platforms. With this change, Apple users can now text Android users over Wi-Fi, share larger files, operate group chats more efficiently, and track message delivery and read status, all while maintaining message encryption. This move marks a departure from Apple's protective stance on its iMessage system, which had reserved many of these features exclusively for Apple device users.
