Apple's Five-Year-Old Twitter Account Gets Active Ahead of September 7 Event [Updated]

[44267547]

Man, so many Negative Nancy's on MacRumors this morning. Y'all need to get your coffee or something.

Just this morning? That's every day on Macrumors. Back on point, looking forward to the Key Note!

Now there is some positive news.

Good god. Get over the freaking design already or don't buy it. Its that simple.

That's true. If he doesn't like Apple's design decisions on the iPhone he always has the choice of voting with his wallet by buying another maker's iOS smartphone.

Oh, wait...

Pretty cool

If Apple opened the account that long ago, and have done nothing with it, most of those people probably did not even know of its existence until now.

Apple has had a twitter account? And someone noticed a logo change after 5 years?

*cough cough* fan boys

To be fair, some of these folks get paid to watch stuff like that.

I had totally forgotten they had an account too. I'll re-follow it and see what, if anything of interest they post to it.

I have interacted with their AppleSupport account and found it to be not very helpful.

About all I've found Twitter useful for is following comedians who are good at telling really brief jokes. Providing useful technical advice in 140 characters sounds like a painful effort in futility to me.

Though I suppose there's no reason they couldn't link you over to more helpful content somewhere else if you could ask a question in 140 characters.

Whats with the full apple logo?

Here:

the account has yet to tweet anything to its more than 110,000 followers

Meantime, customers have plenty to say to Apple about iCloud …

Fanboys? Seems more likely tech journalists. 184k followers, everyone has to be a fanboy

*Apple posts video of Note 7 exploding then closes account*

If I cared enough to edit the video, I thought about shot on iPhone and the apple logo at the end of that video. Priceless.

It just blew up bro

That random rogue light grey circle to the left of the apple stem really bothers me lol.

Relax. It's an Apple headlight.

Apple is acquiring Twitter!

Too late. Twitter, Facebook and the North Sea were acquired yesterday by Nestlé.

… for better or worse, Apple has positioned itself as a fashion brand and fashion is all about superficiality.

I'd like to speed-read Apple's tweets a year from now. Compare them with https://twitter.com/burberry

Typical MacRumors forums. Anything pro-Apple is automatically hated.

So that just showed up on my timeline as an ad. So they do have a tweet

And when I retweeted it, they auto-tweeted me.

'thank you.
We’ll send you a reminder shortly before the event.
See you on the 7th.'

Now you can have $450 headphones and a $30 adapter.

and not be able to charge my phone at work while I listen.

 

[grahamperrin]

@b_scott sorry, could you repeat that? And speak up a little, please; I couldn't hear you whilst my phone was on charge.

Either that, or I was distracted by the tidal wave of activity between http://web.archive.org/web/20160909021658/https://twitter.com/Apple and http://web.archive.org/web/20160909195546/https://twitter.com/Apple – I expect that whoever changed that one image is now enjoying a well-deserved holiday. On a beach, somewhere, blowing the wad of cash that they were saving towards a Mac Pro.
