Google, owned by Alphabet Inc., has released a new 'iPager' commercial mocking Apple for showing messages from Android in green bubbles. This is part of Google's campaign to pressure Apple into adopting RCS, a new messaging technology. The 'green bubbles' issue has been a point of contention between Google and Apple, as messages from non-iPhone users lack certain features and are not well-received by iPhone users. Despite Google's efforts, Apple's new iOS 17 update still shows Android messages in green bubbles.

Lexus, under new global boss Takashi Watanabe, is seeking to learn from Tesla's successes to accelerate its entry into the electric vehicle (EV) market. Lexus aims to sell 1 million EVs annually by 2030, with an all-electric lineup by 2035. Despite combined sales of 24,466 electric vehicles last year by Lexus and its parent company Toyota, these figures represent less than 1% of their overall sales. Toyota has recently unveiled new technologies and production methods, including advanced EV batteries and manufacturing upgrades, due for launch in 2026, as part of the company’s efforts to close the gap with Tesla.
