Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps... like Apple’s own iMessage.

Centralized or not, it's a massive improvement over basic SMS/MMS.

Edit: at least the concept is. Implementation aside, it's crazy that there isn't a cross-platform texting option that has more modern capabilities than what we've been using for the past couple decades.
