The Justice Department called out Apple for afflicting Android
smartphone users with the dreaded “green bubble” in text messages —
calling it a mark of “social stigma, exclusion and blame” as part of
its landmark antitrust case against the iPhone maker.

“Green bubble” status has long been a source of mockery online, with
some women even jokingly declaring that they find men who own Androids
less attractive.

In the past, Apple rivals like Google have demanded that the company
“fix” texting.

“Many non-iPhone users also experience social stigma, exclusion, and
blame for ‘breaking’ chats where other participants own iPhones,” the
lawsuit claimed, adding that the effect is “particularly powerful for
certain demographics, like teenagers.”

The notorious issue was heavily featured in the antitrust complaint
filed by the DOJ and 16 state attorneys general in New Jersey federal
court.

Attorney General Merrick Garland said Apple undermines rivals by having
texts from Androids to iPhones suffer from “limited functionality.”

Android users can’t see typing indicators, experience poor video
quality and have non-encrypted messages when texting with iPhone users.

Additionally, Apple has stifled rival apps that could have fixed the
problem, the DOJ alleged.

What a load of codswallop.

I want to know which people I'm texting with have iMessage vs just
SMS/MMS. It's useful knowledge for me.

This case is going to be laughed out of court. You don't sue a company over
"hurt feelings".

What a joke.

And BTW, some women "jokingly" declare that men who drive BMWs are more
attractive than men who drive a Chevy.

Time to sue BMW!

The colour is there for a reason. Apple's Messages has features not
available in normal texting, the difference in the bubble's colours let
users know which can use those features and which cannot.

Lets all sue KFC because their fried chicken has a "secret recipe" that
nobody else has.

It's moronically stupid and noe of these idiots should ever get
anywhere near a court ... but greedy-ass scumbag lawyers want paying,
so they'll take on anything, no matter how idiotic it is, as long as
they get paid. :-\

You bring up a good point that Apple owners are universally recognized as
technically incompetent - whereas Android owners own the technical acumen
to know that the color of the bubbles can be set to any color they want.

This explains Apple fans are universally called "iSheep" around the world.
https://theconversation.com/the-psychology-behind-apples-fans-blind-loyalty-or-just-wanting-to-belong-31671

"The reputation of Apple's fans is as well known as Apple's products.

These are the people who have already started lining up outside Apple
stores, just to be first to own the latest iPhone due to go on sale this
Friday. When they are not in line, they scour the Internet for articles
that affirm their belief in Apple's products, reacting swiftly to articles
and comments from those that don't share their views, principally anyone
who uses a different phone.

They are amongst the most loyal customers of any brand and are often
insultingly referred to as "iSheep" for their seemingly unquestioning
following of Apple."

I can't understand the people fixated over the colour of message
bubbles on their phones... I've not met one person in real life,
be they Android or iOS user - who's ever mentioned the colour of
message bubbles. (Really!) Yet on Usenet there's people frothing
at the mouth in anger or pee peeing themselves with excitement
over green and blue message bubbles. WTF?!

Get a life people!

You are predictably reacting to the NY Post, which is yellow journalism.
You didn't even read any reliable reports so you completely misunderstand.

It's why you own Apple's products, after all.
You don't want to think for yourself.

You let the NY Post (and Apple) do all the thinking for you.

You do not understand the issue at all. We are talking about social ex-

Nobody sensible cares about the colors, even on Usenet they don't.

On Android you set the colors to anything you want, but on the iPhone Apple
does all the thinking for you - but even so - still nobody sensible cares.

Despite what iMorons think about the DOJ lawsuit, it has nothing to do with
colors (that's just sensational journalism that the iMorons love to hate).

None of the iMorons bothered to read what the DOJ suit was all about.

Indeed. You understood. But the fanatical Apple religious zealots didn't.
They _wish_ the lawsuit was as frivolous as being all about bubble color.

<https://finance.yahoo.com/news/justice-department-files-antitrust-suit-against-apple-145514025.html>
"Apple "has maintained its power not because of its superiority,
but because of its unlawful exclusionary behavior," Attorney
General Merrick Garland said at a press conference Thursday."

They say what everyone knows, is that Apple makes money by breaking laws.
Which is exactly why Apple loses so many of these billion-dollar lawsuits.

Yet, Apple is one of the few companies out there who has the money to get
away with being unethical by hating any consumer who actually can think.

Hence, Apple sells mainly to consumers who believe everything they're fed.
Even when Apple purposefully feeds its own consumers its never ending lies.

Don't believe me. Believe Apple's own words when they break the law.
Apple: Our Ads Don't Lie, But You're a Fool if You Believe Them
<https://www.wired.com/2008/12/apple-says-cust/>

Apple doesn't want you to believe what it says, even though the
company claims it's not lying.

That's the gist of the Cupertino company's legal response.

The company says, in effect, that anyone who believes what the
Apple says in its ads is a fool.

The reason Apple lost so many consumer-focused lawsuits has everything to
do with Apple's main business strategy of lying to customers until caught.

Funnily enough, blue happens to be me favourite colour... so it
works out okay!

The people who [allegedly] feel that they are socially excluded
and feel there's a stigma over the colour of a message bubble -
if these people really exist and are not just made up by greedy
lawyers seeking a settlement pay-out - are probably in reality
social misfits anyway. As no normal person would think there's
a negative stigma attached to a message bubble being green!

The OP, badgolferman, and his buddy Arlen ("Gelato" and his many other
nyms) are resident trolls who regularly bitch and moan about green
bubbles, yellow iPhones, and so on as a ruse to belittle anyone who
dares to like using Apple products. Not how "Gelato's" only contribution
to this thread is to call people juvenile names like "iSheep" and claim
they are all idiots. badgolferman posts the bait, people respond, then
Arlen swoops in with his trolls and insults. Lather, rinse, repeat. It's
a childish and frankly boring game they play. ; )

This is another of Arlen's nyms. Notice how he just can't bring himself
to post here without slinging childish insults like above. He and his
buddy badgolferman are the ones who regularly troll about green bubbles
and yellow iPhones. ; )

When the DOJ posts childish trolls here in these newsgroups, I will. In
the meantime, you're just deflecting as usual. Your trolls are as
juvenile and weak as your intellect.

The DOJ said it was all about anti trust laws being violated by Apple.
Yet you said it wasn't about that but it was about the color of bubbles.

Who is correct about what the lawsuit is claiming?

You or the DOJ?

Unlike you (yes, we all know you and your slew of other nyms are Arlen),
badgolferman, and your little juvenile trollboi gang, the DoJ isn't here
