Here's What's New in iOS 26.5 So Far

You clearly don't understand what Universal Profile is. Universal Profile sets the requirements in each version of RCS. RCS is up to 3.1, and message edits, direct replies, and deletion were all REQUIRED for the client to implement in order to be in line with the standard protocol as of UP 2.7. The language in the GSMA documentation states that the client, for instance, SHALL, allow a user to edit a text for a period of 15 minutes. SHALL means the client has to implement this feature. SHALL means it is a required feature to meet that version of UP.

You clearly are NOT reading. I said the GSMA sets the standard for RCS. You told me it’s incorrect and rambled about the DOJ (that has zero to do with RCS). After I showed you evidence that you’re wrong, you now start talking about the universal profile. The universal profile doesn’t set anything. The universal profile is the technical standard set by the GSMA.

As far as what else is in the universal profile that is set by the GSMA, I have no idea if there’s more. I thought it’s just encryption. So if it’s more than that, then I stand corrected.

I’m still hoping they’ll add public transport and many of the shops in my area (which I’ve had to add myself); I suppose this extra income will allow them to do so 🙄
 
Disappointing to see ads. As for RCS, carriers should also support it. Will take some time for carriers across the world to support it. Overall it is a small update.

Ads in maps. Apple One Premier subscribers should be allowed to opt out.

Nobody should be able to opt out of core experiences that drive value to the entire ecosystem. Apple is best when it decides the optimum habitat and pushes migration through the stratosphere..
 
I thought 18.1 was laying the groundwork for this, then 26, then 26.1, then 26.3, then 26.4 was, now its 26.5?

If you're going to use a map app with ads, then you might as well use the best app available. I stick to all Apple apps until there is some nonsense to make me consider other options.

Apple Maps is inferior to Google/Waze in Mexico. Plus it’s tied to system settings for measurements—I can’t have my weight set to pounds and my walks set to miles, while having Apple Maps set to kilometers. I can individually set Google Maps and Waze to kilometers.

I’ll be using Google Maps now, then.
Google Maps is also packed with Ads, but at least it’s much superior.

Also, this is breaking the contract between users and Apple: If you pay up, you are not the product. It is not okay to pay and watch Ads! Which by they way will be using our devices we paid for to run their targeting algorithms. Who's gonna pay us for using our CPUs and battery life and for saved servers for Apple? This breaks any trust in Apple and will force me to reconsider other options.

None of what you are arguing matters. IN ORDER FOR APPLE TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH UP 3.0, they HAVE to implement these other features. They are literally cherry picking what features to implement. That's my entire point. Just adopting end to end encryption and nothing else is malicious compliance.

You just want to argue. I'm not here for a "gotcha". I'm telling you real facts. As far as the DOJ, Apple was sued for tactics deemed to harm their competitors, instead of on the merits of their products. The only reason you can't use these features with Android is because Apple is choosing to omit them. They believe it will cause them to lose market share in the US. One of the few markets where people actually use iMessage/RCS.

I'm not sure why people choose to argue something like this. Especially when it benefits everyone for these features to actually work properly. It's just stupid. Google was also sued in an antitrust case. The government in the States isn't letting anyone off the hook.

Ads absolutely everywhere. I hate this world.

Me too

I get it, these companies have to find some way to grab our attention and all but still

Then again, Waze has had ads in their app for years now, but as far as I know, it's only if you're navigating right on the phone instead of using CarPlay or Android Auto

I have my doubts about the more detailed things you’re saying in regards what’s in the profile, the DOJ, and Apple cherry picking since you were incorrect about the basic facts. Whether they are or not implementing everything, I already addressed, yet you ignore it and continue hammer the same point. There’s nothing more to discuss.

Just asking to keep being litigated against. It is ridiculous that Apple continues to gatekeep something as basic as editing a damn text message. It's truly pathetic behavior. Shouldn't even need to be tested because it's already there in the iMessage UX/UI.

Hopefully/maybe they’ll surprise us, and load it into the iOS 27 launch, but I’m expecting them to not do it, which is real crappy and shady if they don’t.

Go away Tim Cook. Your waffling is pathetic. You are wrong. I know what is in the profile. I follow UP directly. I've read the documentation. Stop kissing Apple's ass. Apparently you got offended when I corrected you.

I never knew this. But CarPlay is a non-negotiable when I look at a new car/light truck.

BTW, the amazing strength of Waze in Mexico is it tells me how many kilometers/minutes to the next toll booth. Neither Apple nor Google does this. This is critical when timing restroom stops as many toll plazas are collocated with baños.

Can you explain this? What exactly is it?

Pretty self explanatory. Client means Apple messages, Google Messages, etc. Whomever is implementing RCS as according to the Universal Profile version 2.7+, generally must follow these guidelines, in order to comply with the standard as written by the GSMA.
