#Google keeps trying to hammer on #Apple for not adopting RCS https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/12/02/google-keeps-trying-to-hammer-on-apple-for-not-adopting-rcs?utm_medium=rss @appleinsider @HilliTech

More importantly, the machine "communicates with an operator’s home office via a secure wireless cloud connection."
