As far as I know iPhones all upgrade to the latest iOS as soon as it's

You know wrong. All compatible iphones are prompted to upgrade. It's up to
users to decide when.
 

So should they all have v18 now, and be capable of RCS chats (minus
encryption)?  None of my contacts who I know use Apple are showing up as
RCS capable in Google Messages ...

 
Apple is supporting both iOS 17 & 18 in parallel at the moment so users can
get all security updates in the newly released 17.7 without needing to go
to 18, yet.
 
Given Apple Intelligence isn't coming before 18.1 there's little reason to
upgrade to 18 just now for those who want the latest and greatest features.

Interestingly, that fuckwit claims on a separate ng that what I've said is
crap, yet is too cowardly to reply directly on here.

As an aside owning many items just amplifies your ability to be wrong.
