 *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.'

Apple's MARKETING is the best funded in the world yet its R&D the worst.
