Apple will probably introduce a new messaging standard called RCS in the fall, which should replace SMS/MMS.
Apple will likely expand RCS support in the upcoming iOS 18 update.
Techcrunch writes about this, referring to the section on the new Google Messages page.
The page described the key benefits of RCS. One of the sections was marked “coming soon to iOS” with the title “Best Messaging for Everyone.” This is no longer visible on the page, but the information is still visible in the source code.
The RCS protocol extends the SMS standard to almost the capabilities of an Internet messenger. Users can share photos and videos, receive check marks when the other person has read and typed messages, and create group chats. In some RCS implementations, correspondence is protected with end-to-end encryption.
Apple noted that RCS will work alongside iMessage, which is still “the best and most secure messaging tool for Apple users.”
At the same time, iMessage will not disappear anywhere. It will continue to be the messaging platform used for communication between iPhone users. RCS will replace SMS and MMS and will exist separately from iMessage. SMS and MMS will remain available if necessary.
“Apple announced that it will introduce RCS in the fall of 2024. Once this happens, everyone will have a better messaging experience,” the description reads.
Note that Apple has announced the adoption of the RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging standard at the end of 2023.
Apple's decision was made under pressure from competitors such as Google and Samsung, as well as regulators. In a statement to 9to5Mac, an Apple spokesperson said RCS will offer better compatibility for cross-platform messaging.
