In a surprising move, Apple has announced today that it will adopt the RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging standard. The feature will launch via a software update “later next year” and bring a wide range of iMessage-style features to messaging between iPhone and Android users.

Apple’s decision comes amid pressure from regulators and competitors like Google and Samsung. It also comes as RCS has continued to develop and become a more mature platform than it once was.

Seems like Nothing did it?

No, Nothing will provide a bridge to iMessage by logging with your password on the Mac mini farm. Not something that you want.

Also nothing didn't shit, they partnered with Sunbird.

Nothing have been pretty good at marketing really, all those headlines saying "Nothing brings blue bubble in Android" instead of "Nothing to bundle the Sunbird app with their phones".
