> iPhones make texts with Android phones difficult to read, by using white text on a bright green background.
Wow. I can't really come up with anything creative to blame Google for this one. Whatever you want to say about Google's messaging mess and RCS - Apple seems to go out of their way to make it inconvenient to text with Android users.
Also it doesn't sound like Google's asking Apple to give up iMessage - just that they use RCS instead of SMS/MMS to talk to Android users. Not an unreasonable ask given RCS is likely to be a widely adopted standard and an non-trivial improvement over SMS.
Edit: Color aside, the read receipts, MMS quality, Wifi send etc all seem worth fixing with RCS.
