Apple’s decision to introduce RCS support to iMessage sometime in 2024 wasn’t caused by pressure from Europe, according to a new report, but instead China may have had more to do with the move.
In November, after years of pressure from Google, Apple agreed it would introduce support for the somewhat flawed RCS messaging standard in iMessage. At the time, Apple said it would arrive during 2024 at some point.
But while it was thought by some that the European Union had something to do with it, one report believes it could’ve been political pressure from China that caused Apple’s change of heart.
