On: Apple restricts Pebble from being awesome with iPhones

Nope, SMS works. Just fine. Apple rightly warns you that you are in a lower security environment by adding a bit of visual friction. This is true EVEN IF you are using RCS, because European laws require termination and inspection when RCS messages “interoperate” and are sent to other providers.

This is something I agree with. The world would be more secure if we made SMS obsolete and Apple making a push away from it is arguably net positive.
