*Apple's Update Decision-Bad News Confirmed For Millions Of iPhone Users* <
https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2024/09/17/apples-ios-18-update-new-warning-for-millions-of-iphone-15-iphone-16-users/
'As hundreds of millions of iPhone users update their devices
to iOS 18, tinting their home screens and navigating their
new Photos app, the reality is that this update is more
about what's missing than what has been released.
No Apple Intelligence-at least not yet, and another gaping
omission that has also been confirmed.
This bad news impacts RCS-the biggest non-AI update coming
with iOS 18, that brings rich messaging features to stock
iPhone-to-Android messaging for the first time, but which
The Washington Post warns, leaves "chats with Android friends
still [with] security and other compromises that Apple
could have avoided."
But the more serious issue is hidden from sight.
"In some important ways," The Post says, "Apple's messaging app
remains stuck in the flip-phone era, which undermines everyone's
message security." The version of RCS Apple is using is not encrypted.'
