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.
Apple put their services on Android devices too. Just not iMessage.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they cite privacy as a reason.
If they were honest, they would cite “creating the illusion of superiority via systematic exclusion which leads to profits”
Come on. There isn’t anything near parity with the cross platforming of apps. Apple has a few (three of them are music apps) and I believe Google puts all or nearly all their apps on iOS.
When did I say there was parity? I just pointed out they do create Android apps for some of their services.
By saying “apple puts their services” it implied to me that you were suggesting that apple actually put much of its inhouse software on Android, which isn’t the case. Not in the same way that saying “Google puts its services on iOS” is accurate because a great deal of Google’s software is available on iOS.
In our conversation who is saying anything about altruism? What I said was Google releases a lot of, in my opinion, incredibly useful software for free and then pays for it by selling ads. I feel like this is incredibly obvious and for me it’s a good deal because I like Google’s free services and I’d rather see ads about things I might actually be interested in than things I’m not interested in.
