RCS support can be added without iOS updates by OTA carrier profile updates (that‘s what Vodafone.de did).

Most couple it to iOS releases though, so there is a chance …
Would they send a separate carrier update so close to an iOS drop though? Surely it’d be bundled?
 
It’s over.

They’re not “banking on it”, they know the release date. Of course Apple tells carriers when updates affecting their services are dropping. The carriers are just supposed to not spill the beans to the public.
Three probably don’t care anymore, they’ll be part of Vodafone UK soon enough.

What’s the point of them waiting until tomorrow to release the GM? Are you saying the GM isn’t ready?
The point of an RC is to verify it will work in the wild with various setups and have no show stopping issues. Not really to test anything else as it IS what they plan on the final to be UNLESS there are show stoppers.
