You can't escape it, and there's always some background radiation we have to contend with. That's scary, of course, because ionising radiation can make us sick in various ways.

RCS improves sending long texts, photos, videos, typing indicators, read receipts, and more. So, how many of your friends and family with an iPhone use RCS? I expected better results, and so far, I've only messaged 3-4 iPhones with it. The rest of my people are still on iOS 17 (or older) and haven't updated yet or don't have enough space to do so. Sadness.
