Tim Kuk thinks iPhone users don`t want this

Introducing new iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods products at yesterday's event, Apple continues to face pressure about RCS. Tim Cook doesn't think iPhone users want RCS support too much. Introducing the new iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods products with a huge event yesterday, Apple started conversations about Steve Jobs, today's design problems and Tesla with the sessions it held after the event. In a session where Jony Ive, Laurene Powell Jobs and Tim Cook spoke, Cook made a statement about RCS. During the Code session, a spectator argued to Tim Cook that Rich Communication Services (RCS) should be used to improve communication between Android and iPhone. “I don't hear our users want us to put a lot of energy into this,” CEO Tim Cook said in response. Thus, Cook stated that iPhone users do not have a special request about RCS.

But of course, many iPhone and Android users want the new RCS protocol, also known as SMS 2.0, to be used universally. Earlier, an Apple executive stated that bringing iMessage to Android would be to their detriment. Another Apple employee defended the platform's iOS feature, saying that many users bought iPhones for iMessage.
