Real question. I would like to know what drives you to hate Apple? (In terms of privacy of course because in terms of price it’s another story).

Android users would use RCS for communicating with each other via the default messaging app on Android.

MMS has a hard size limit depending on the carrier the sender uses, that's independent of the sender using an Android phone or an iPhone. This limit can be as high as "more than 1 MB", but also as low as 300 KB or even less. Compressing an image down to 300 KB will naturally incur a quality penalty.

Rcs is a new thing and not all android phones use it even now

Photos sent from iPhones look like shit today and they did years ago. Rcs is not a factor.
