Apple's WWDC 2023 Hashflag Now Live on Twitter Ahead of Next Week's Keynote

[MacRumors]

Apple is continuing to prepare for the 2023 Worldwide Developers Conference, with the official hashflag for the event rolling out as of today. The #WWDC23 hashtag on Twitter now features a custom-designed Apple logo that matches the design that Apple is using this year.

For those unfamiliar with hashflags, they are custom, paid icons that appear next to specific hashtags on the Twitter social network. You can see the hashflag when you use the #WWDC23 hashtag.

This year's hashflag is an Apple logo in shades of blue, purple, pink, and black. Apple has used custom hashflags since 2020 to boost event visibility and build hype on Twitter.

WWDC 2023 is set to begin on Monday, June 5.

Those were the good old days. This will be my first WWDC that I won't be looking on Twitter. As for the event itself, I am excited.

Lovely! It’s just beautiful!

Fact: This is going to be ONE LONG week. 🤫 🤐

but Tuesday is already nearly over! (at least on the east coast in the US)

Hashflags scattered, smothered and covered. Next WWDC at Waffle House!

 

[SteelMacMac]

Not the Hashflag, I nearly pooped.

This is great news for all of us in the Apple family as it provides the means for us to accentuate the brand to new outsiders.

Not sure what Apple's interest is in being one of the remaining major brands committed to Twitter. I'd love to know what Tim and Elon talked about in Apple Park that one time after which Elon backed off from attacking Apple.

Maybe the 15 Pro will come with Tesla batteries. Not the big ones, that’d be heavy.

Contrary to “coverage”, most big brands are still there and it really hasn’t changed much.

He just wanted to get an invite to Apple Park 😂

 

[tubular]

Yeah, I remember Twitter.

 

[GuruZac]

Yeah, I remember Twitter.

It’s still going strong contrary to the narrative. I’m looking forward to WWDC.

 

[scarax]

It's astonishing, to me, reading some of the comments folks are making in regarding to Twitter. When did we become so weak that we're triggered by differing opinions on that platform. Or any platform.

 

[Lioness~]

Warmup or keep calm, with something memorable 😉

How exciting!! Now if we can get a few more custom emojis !

Can’t wait for the news story to break macrumors when apple has their own custom tweet logo!!!!!!!

 

[coolbreeze2]

So Tim paid Elon some money for this hashtag? How much did he pay?

 

[Apple Fan 2008]

Can’t wait!

 

[entropys]

So Tim paid Elon some money for this hashtag? How much did he pay?

Who cares? I’m just triggered by the concept of a #Hashflag.

 

[Col4bin]

I don’t use Twitter and never heard of a hashflag before.

 

[Brad7]

Just so people know, Twitter hashflags were a thing even pre-Elon.

 

[svish]

Colourful! Excited for the event.

So Tim paid Elon some money for this hashtag? How much did he pay?

A lot. According to a MR post from last year, upwards of $1,000,000. And they are short lived, so when the event is over, the special icon goes away and just the plain hashtag remains. $1 million to for a little bit of regex scripting to find a hashtag and insert a icon after it for a couple of weeks. I don't know. Turning 10,000 $100 bills into a roll of toilet paper would actually require more effort and be more useful IMHO, and that isn't even considering all the controversy surrounding the platform.

Twitter is 99% still the same. The 1% that are idiots get all the headlines because the owner of the company likes to post middle school memes and make attention grabbing outbursts.

Let's start a rumor that Tim and Elon talked about Tesla helping Apple build the Apple Car!

Sad to see Apple paying any money to Twitter.
