issafram··on SMS Security and Privacy Gaps
I can't understand why any person would actually side with Apple with this issue. At it's core, Apple's refusal to integrate with RCS is an anti-consumer practice. They fear it will drive customers to purchase Android phones but that would most likely be an incredibly small amount of people. People buy iPhones for many reasons. The color of the messages isn't the main one.
