Some of that isn't i-message specific though, right? I have a Pixel and it has high quality pictures, typing indicators, reads receipts, sends over wifi... the other stuff I don't think Android has but that's a bit gimicky anyway. Not trying to be an android fan girl but I really don't understand what makes i-message better.

I agree that all the stuff iMessage has that RCS doesn't is gimmicky, I'm, an Android user myself...but if you have an Android and someone you want to text has an iPhone, you're both using SMS.
