In MacOS 13 (Ventura), iOS 16, and iPadOS 16, in so far as the limitations of the SMS/MMS system permit, Apple is using their servers to handle SMS/MMS traffic instead of dismissing them to the telephone network, thereby providing Apple users essentially the same experience for both iMessage and SMS/MMS traffic. Moreover, Apple provides the ability to cancel or edit messages, within I believe it is ten seconds of the message being sent. Interesting, though I can't move that fast. How about 10 minutes?

In case you wonder what benefit, Apple gets out of this? It helps sell more Macs, iPhones, iPads, and Watches. [/quote] LOL!
