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.

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.

 
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!

 
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. ; )

You should add the DOJ to your list of Apple trolls too.

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.
