This chapter covers two surprising tech news: the quick rise and fall of Nothing's chat app, Sunbird, due to security concerns; and Apple's unexpected announcement to add RCS support to iPhones in 2024, potentially influenced by EU regulations.
  • Nothing's Sunbird app was quickly removed from the Play Store due to major security flaws discovered by researchers.
  • Apple announced it will add RCS support to iPhones in 2024, ending years of speculation.
  • The EU's investigation into Apple's iMessage as a potential gatekeeper may have influenced Apple's decision.
