I agree with you and I disagree with Frank who had chastised you.

What appears to be transpiring are the following events:

1. Apple said in court the last thing they'll ever want to do
   is to interoperate with Android. That's a fact, paraphrased.

2. The EU forced Apple to interoperate (a little bit) with Android.

3. Unfortunately, the EU didn't force Apple to handle encryption.

4. So nobody gets interoperability (with encryption) because 
   Apple execs decided interoperability is a threat to their profits.

5. And it is.

6. Meanwhile, most people are completely clueless that the problem is
   that Apple has no intention of ever interoperating with Android.

7. Hence, the FBI warned people that, essentially, there is no 
   encryption when Apple messages are involved with Android devices.

The FBI doesn't take sides so they don't mention Apple is the problem.
But anyone with half a brain is well aware that Apple is the problem.

It is, however, reasonable for a company to say that they will only 
implement the approved standard. However, I don't know for what reasons, 
the standard will not be expanded for some reason I don't know, either 
temporarily or permanently. That company should push hard for the 
standard to expand. Maybe this can not be. And say clearly when the 
standard is expected to be ready. IF.

In that case, said company should implement instead the existing 
proprietary method, which perhaps, I do not know, has been offered free 
of charge. Even as a temporary measure while the standard is developed, 
for the benefit of all users.

We all know from Apple's history that the last thing Apple wants is
interoperability with other platforms (the proof is rampant everywhere).

We also all know Apple is being forced to care about the customer by EU
laws, where we all know Apple implements as little as it can get away with.

In addition, we all know the Epic deposition showcased Apple executives'
emails, which said that the messaging platform is one of the most critical
components of the walled garden that Apple does NOT want interoperable.

With all that in mind, we also all know Apple (and Google) are on the same
standards committee - where - we don't really know what goes on behind
those closed doors. 

Is Apple stalling?
I don't know.

Does anyone have more data on what Apple's specific objections are?

Not exactly.  Messages app lets you send iMessages, SMS, RCS messages.

RCS messages if using iOS v18 and higher. IIRC, the carriers must support RCS too.

I would not call this "compatible" since you can use it in the same way
as with other Apple users.

messages.

Yes, it is able to send and receive SMS - nothing else. In this meaning,
iPhones are compatible to nearly every other computer or phone in the
world, since some kind of data exchange or phone calls is mostly possible.

Hi Arno,

Bear in mind the guy you're conversing with, Alan Baker, is a moron.

He has an IQ of about 40 so he loves to argue about everything for fun.

Note that it used to be there is no iPhone in the world which can be
initialized without connecting to the Internet. It's impossible. 
And yet, Alan Baker claims he did the impossible.

Just as he claims to teach auto racing, Alan Baker doesn't know the first
thing about racing. He claims to own bimmers and he doesn't know teh most
basic of the simplest things about bimmers. 

Alan Baker is an IQ 40 moron in everything.

As for the more recent iPhones, if they have an eSIM and if it's an iPhone
14 or greater, only after that can someone initialize it WITHOUT the
Internet. But all iPhones prior to the 14 *require* the Internet to
initialize.
<https://www.google.com/search?q=can+you+initialize+a+brand+new+iphone+without+internet>
 
No other operating system on the planet requires the Internet just to use
the phone. Just Apple.

The iPhone is nothing more than a dumb terminal without the Internet.
It can't even make phone calls.

For the record, I do, indeed, teach road racing. I was invited to join 
the Sports Car Club of British Columbia's Race Drivers Committee at the 
conclusion of the 2016 racing season.

For the record, I own a 2012 BMW 135i M Sport Edition.

In my opinion Apple would not lose customers if they made RCS
interoperability possible with Android. People buy Apple products not for
their messaging app, but for many other features. If Google and Apple could
agree on an encryption protocol — even temporarily — it would show goodwill
to all their customers. 

Having said that, I’m glad Apple adopted some RCS functions. At least now I
can see when people have read my messages (if they’ve turned that feature
on) and reactions are now possible with my Android friends.

Hi badgolferman,

I can speak with you normally, where I don't have to dumb down the message.

Knowing that Apple is one of the most brilliant marketing organizations in
the world, and assuming Apple legal must also be the best in the world, and
knowing that Apple only tells the truth in court, we can perhaps ascertain
Apple's true intentions by their own executives' emails deposed in the Epic
case.

We've discussed those very emails on this very newsgroup in gory detail, so
there's no need to repeat them other than to summarize that Apple considers
interoperability outside the walled garden to be a dire threat to profits.

And it is.

Since we discussed this many times, you're likely well aware those Apple
executives said in those published internal emails that the messaging app
allowed Apple to lock people into the walled garden ecosystem -
particularly - Apple execs stated - young impressionable kids whose parents
buy their iPhones for them and whose parents want to give the kids what
their peers ask them to have.

This is, almost certainly, why some of those impressionable kids make such
a big deal out of green/blue bubbles, where, ironically, these
non-technical kids are surprisingly clueless that a green bubble message
with Android RCS users means that the messaging is NOT encrypted.

If Google and Apple could
> agree on an encryption protocol - even temporarily - it would show goodwill

It's not Google holding it up. It's Apple. (See above reason why.)
Remember, the executives publicly said interoperability petrified them.

+1. Agree. It's great that the EU is slowly forcing Apple to do things that
their customers want them to do but which Apple feels decreases profits.

The last thing Apple wants to do is interoperate with any other ecosystem.

I love how with each repetition (of a claim you won't actually support), 
it gets more dramatic.

"Petrified them"?

Please.

On the other hand Apple customers don't care. They also don't care that
FaceTime is only possible with other Apple users. In the US iOS has a
market share of nearly 60% and the Android market share is declining slowly:

So in the US Apple is like Nokia was in the past. Yes, some people still
use Android devices, but not the majority. It's just the worldwide
market share where Android is still dominant because manufacturers can
offer much cheaper devices this way.

ACK - I hope one day RCS with encryption will be an official standard
and we can finally get rid of proprietary messengers.

Given the US is only about half Android and yet the world is overwhelmingly
Android, we all need to keep in mind Apple's vaunted "walled garden"
doesn't work unless you have constant 24/7/365 Internet access which most
of the world may not necessarily have.

The fact Apple devices have the highest overall cost of ownership and the
least functionality also plays a role as only people in rich countries can
afford to buy back the functionality that Apple removes from their devices.

In other words, Apple's strategy of designing the iPhone as a dumb terminal
which requires 24/7/365 Internet access to the "walled garden" coupled with
Apple's strategy of removing functionality so the user has to buy it back -
means only people in rich countries can afford such an abusive use model.

Everyone wants (except Apple) seamless messaging interoperability between
platforms (where Apple execs said they were "terrified" of that happening).
