Unfortunately this is what makes iPhones "iPhones"

They bring out features that generally make the phone part of the smartphone better to use.

RCS is still a mess on androids. And calling on iPhones is about to feel very modern while android phones will still be calling people the same way people did 20 years ago.

Not true, I also get calls from my real estate agency and my car's retailer, two of the most honest jobs there can be.

When you say RCS is a mess on Android, what do you mean? I personally have not had issues.

It's been fine for me too. But I would guess they mean carriers being slow to adopt it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Why would they design a protocol to require carriers or for that matter phones instead of just running on any IP-based host?

I have 2 friends with different samsungs and both my parents with newer samsungs. Neither one of them have RCS. Idk if you have to enable it or anything.

Is there even a difference between how iPhone and android calling 'feels'? They're both the exact same as 20 years ago lmao its a phone call, it's been replaced by like a thousand apps by now

Most iphone users facetime, and if its another iphone it'll be clearer than an android.
