Of course, there's still time for more carriers to work on enabling RCS
support on the iPhone by September, when iOS 18 will be available to the
public. But at the same time, this means that most beta users probably
won't be able to test the new feature.

Having to get carriers to update their systems is an added complexity
and carriers don't have huge incentive to implement it.  Possibly they
see it as more load.

 Once Apple supports RCS & after the carriers support their iOS RCS bundles,
what problems will be solved when RCS is finally working on both platforms?

Hopefully the problem of transparently sending large files from(to) iOS to(from) Android with little effort or loss.  Hopefully avoiding the "phone" paradigm along the way.  And of course the whole encryption issue also needs to be worked out so that it is not Google oriented.
