"DOJ Targets Apple's iPhone Monopoly in Antitrust Case"

TL;DR Summary
The Justice Department's lawsuit against Apple has brought attention to the issue of "green bubble shaming," where Android users are stigmatized for their green text bubbles in iMessage. The lawsuit alleges that Apple deliberately makes texting on iMessage frustrating for Android users to push them to buy iPhones, a claim Apple denies. Amid pressure, Apple has committed to supporting RCS, a new messaging standard, to allow for more fluid communication between iPhone and Android users, but the timeline for implementation remains unclear.
