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.

This has nothing to do with Nothing, in fact imessage forwarding software has been around long before the announcement by nothing (i was using airmessage back in 2021). And yes, i own a nothing phone 1.
This has more to do with the impending investigation and potential legislation from the EU. Apple needs to get ahead of the curve before the EU starts putting down heavy regulations on their business practices.
