By now, you’ve likely heard about the DOJ’s antitrust suit against Apple. One of the biggest phrases to emerge from it? Green bubble shaming.
An Android text appears as the dreaded “green bubble” on an iPhone. Smartphone users across platforms have been on one side or the other of this experience. At best, it leads to a joke or two; at worst, it leads to ghosting from the iPhone user.
The DOJ alleges the use of the green bubble, among other incompatibilities, is meant to encourage Android users to buy iPhones.
Could this be the end of green bubble shaming? At the very least, it’s a reminder to be kinder to the lone Android user in the group text.
When you’re done apologizing to the Android users in your life, we’re here with a bounty of new opportunities this week.
