iMessage isn’t texting, SMS, MMS, RCS or any of those other formats you might wanna think of. Its a chat program more like Whatsapp. Apple just integrated their messaging program into the phone to appear like its traditional texting, even though its basically just “Apple Whatsapp”.
Asking whats the situation with imessage and RCS is like asking whats the situation with whatsapp and texting. It looks similair but its not related.
Apple in ios18 is going to add RCS support, but that has nothing to do with iMessage. It will just apply to doing texts to other non-iphones that support RCS (assuming your mobile phone provider also supports it)
