Tim Cook met with journalist Kara Swisher, Jony Ive and Lauren Powell Jobs at the Code conference.
During the event, Cooke identified why Apple doesn’t want to implement RCS messages that need to be collected to replace SMS. To which he replied:
I don’t see our users asking us to put a lot of energy into this at the moment.
At the same time, during the Q&A section, the person who asked Tim the question clarified that his mother has an Android smartphone, and he cannot send her video via SMS, while he can via RCS. To this, the head of Apple replied: “Buy your mom an iPhone.”
Previously, Google launched a site where Apple stopped using SMS in the use of new RCS technologies that allow iOS and Android users to comfortably use each other, similar to iMessage. [9to5]
