I appreciate the extra info!

My threat model does not really include someone physically taking my device. I am mainly wanting privacy from big tech companies.

So having e2ee messaging by default that the SIM providers cannot read (via imessage) is a huge benefit to me that I would lose by messaging the vast majority of people I know with iPhones who do not use signal as I would have to use regular old sms.

Oh ok, cool. Fingers crossed Apple does that someday soon, although I'm not sure what their incentive is to do it quickly as they prefer the blue bubble firewall they've been able to create, particularly in the US.

Would I have to give google access to my messages in order to use Google Messages (and RCS) or can they not see my messages?
