Apple announces that RCS support is coming to iPhone next year (9to5mac.com)

In a surprising move, Apple has announced today that it will adopt the RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging standard. The feature will launch via a software update “later next year” and bring a wide range of iMessage-style features to messaging between iPhone and Android users.

Apple’s decision comes amid pressure from regulators and competitors like Google and Samsung. It also comes as RCS has continued to develop and become a more mature platform than it once was.

This has nothing to do with Nothing, in fact imessage forwarding software has been around long before the announcement by nothing (i was using airmessage back in 2021). And yes, i own a nothing phone 1.

This has more to do with the impending investigation and potential legislation from the EU. Apple needs to get ahead of the curve before the EU starts putting down heavy regulations on their business practices.

Yes but the software existing is different from it being used by a major-ish brand in this space

Nothing is not a major brand. The average person has no idea who they are
