Well that’s a slanted article.

it seems that when Apple brings RCS to iPhone, it will focus on the wrapper and ignore the sweetie. Typing indicators and haptic responses—yes. Cross-platform end-to-end encryption—not so much.

Except… RCS IS the wrapper. End-to-end encryption isn’t part of the RCS standard; it’s a proprietary Google extension, hosted on Google services.
