Is it a purple bubble now with Android and not green?

RCS messaging on iPhone rolled out with iOS 18.

“Apple’s implementation of RCS is based on the industry’s standard. RCS messages aren’t end-to-end encrypted, which means they're not protected from a third-party reading them while they're sent between devices.”
https://support.apple.com/en-us/104972


“We designed iMessage to use end-to-end encryption, so there’s no way for Apple to decrypt the content of your conversations when they are in transit between devices. Attachments you send over iMessage (such as photos or videos) are encrypted so that no one but the sender and receiver(s) can access them.”

Serious about crackers.

I just upgraded from a 7+ to a 15 also. Figured it was time when I started having problems with the phone not upgrading to the latest operating system.

Just because you can,
doesn't mean you should

Upgrading to a 15 is a good option to save a few bucks but have a recent model with a great camera and no update issues.

The modem in my iPhone 16 Pro is much more efficient than the one in my iPhone 12 Pro. I can listen to Amazon Music and see significantly lower battery drain rate.

I think its battery has more capacity too, but even so I’m satisfied that its modem is more efficient.

I went to the pro max Dave. My 11ProMax was showing it's age. Look into the Spigen cases and screen/cam lens protectors. I got the spigen case that has a slide cover for the lenses. I'm always forgetting to open it LOL but I like the added protection for the cam lenses. Not sure I'd do that model of their case again but Spigen is good stuff. I used to use a very rugged otterbox I sort of miss all that rubber. Cases are so personal a choice.
Still enjoying the older Luminox you sold me years ago as well.

As soon as I find the right deal on a 16 Pro Max, I'll list my 15 Pro Max for sale. But all the eBay deals that are below Apple's retail price have zero feedback and I suspect the phones are stolen or locked. I'm on Visible, so there are no promos from Apple or any of the mainstream carriers. I have 20k points on a credit card that has a deal with Apple, but they don't offer anything newer than the 15s.
