Instead, Cook said, \u201cI would love to convert you to an iPhone.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside id=\"uCJO1O\">\n<\/aside>\n<p id=\"trkeNR\">But the person who asked the question, Vox Media\u2019s LiQuan Hunt, came back with a valid complaint, saying that his mother can\u2019t see the videos he sends her. It all comes down to a lack of interoperability between iMessage and RCS, both messaging systems that could allow higher-quality images and videos \u2014 if they worked together. If you\u2019ve tried to send a video from Android to iOS (or vice versa) using your regular text messaging app, then you know that your videos come out completely fuzzy on the other end. Cook\u2019s suggestion to fix this annoying issue? \u201cBuy your mom an iPhone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"WXfuxV\">While it may seem silly, the bubble color in iMessage that distinguishes Android (green) users from fellow iPhone users (blue) has become a point of contention. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/8\/9\/23297951\/google-apple-rcs-adoption-campaign-getthemessage-blue-green-messages\">Google\u2019s campaign to publicly shame Apple<\/a> into adopting the standard has clearly had no effect on Cook, who is publicly focusing on opinions from people who have iPhones. Of course, there are other reasons to avoid adding RCS. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2021\/4\/9\/22375128\/apple-imessage-android-ecosystem-lock-in-epic-games-filings-app-store-dispute\">Emails unearthed in the Epic trial<\/a> showed Apple senior vice president of software engineering Craig Federighi saying, \u201ciMessage on Android would simply serve to remove [an] obstacle to iPhone families giving their kids Android phones.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><code><br \/><\/br><\/code><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/9\/7\/23342243\/tim-cook-apple-rcs-imessage-android-iphone-compatibility\">https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/9\/7\/23342243\/tim-cook-apple-rcs-imessage-android-iphone-compatibility<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Apple CEO Tim Cook dismissed the idea of adopting RCS messaging to put an end to the green bubbles that surround messages when iPhone users text someone on an Android device. \u201cI don\u2019t hear our users asking that we put a lot of energy in on that at this point,\u201d Cook said when asked [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14101,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,8],"tags":[9],"class_list":["post-14100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-apple","category-technology","tag-apple"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
