Early early look. This is the first dev beta release. None of the AI features and lots of other missing features in the build. Give it until the end of summer public betas and then you can start to pick it apart. Will Apple do a fantastic unbelievable job of implementing RCS? No. Will it end up better than what is described here? Of course.

Note: End-to-end encryption is not a feature of RCS specified by GSMA, instead deferring to the individual messaging clients to establish encryption. So, Google added their own encryption to the RCS standard. If Apple were to add encryption, it is not, by the standard, required to be compatible with Google's implementation. Is Google willing to open source, and license free their implementation? Maybe Apple isn't playing ball, but it's Google's ball and their rules.
