> Does this make you less likely to purchase an Apple device in the future?
Does for myself. Knowing that Apple has the capabilities yet not willing to implement them.
The disconnect is real. I don't own Facebook, nor use WhatsApp neither do I want to use either.
Other applications do exist but the learning curve and convincing family to use shouldn't be something I need to do. Nor how do I know they'll survive in the next five years?
So because of this you're more likely to purchase an Android product on your next device refresh? I don't see how that logic works out... "My family shouldn't have to use the inferior protocol, so next chance I get I'm going to switch myself to that protocol?"

Yes, RCS will happen but its long overdue.
