This reads like Apple PR:<p>> But the issue for Sunbird becomes a why, rather than a what. The whole point of iMessage is its level of security, now replicated by Google Messages. Pull people out of that protection and you might as well wait for Apple’s RCS deployment with iOS 18 in the fall. That will essentially do the same, albeit backed by bluechip platforms. Is RCS with basic client-server encryption any less secure than Sunbird—not really.
