But still, if you have an Android and someone you want to text has an iPhone, you're using SMS, not RCS.

I do believe RCS-compatibility for iMessage would make take a chunk out of iPhone sales honestly.

I message people on iOS from my android all the time, we use WhatsApp and the problem is solved.

Um, no, most of us just use WhatsApp

But most iPhone sales are in a region where WhatsApp is irrelevant.
