The claim
Many users believe that Apple wants to say goodbye to Twitter because not a single tweet is visible on their main account.
Our conclusion
The company's account is empty because there have never been any tweets there.
Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of marketing, apparently wasn't a big fan of Twitter under Elon Musk anyway. Musk's vote on Donald Trump's return to the platform appears to have been the last straw: Schiller deleted or deactivated his account .
Many noted that there are no tweets on Apple's Twitter account. Is the company sending a signal that it will also disappear? Not really.
The empty Apple profile
Apple's official profile after Phil Schiller's disappearance from Twitter is apparently surprised: not a single tweet can be seen!
Some now seem to have the impression that this is Apple's "silent protest" against Twitter and Elon Musk - they remain on the platform but no longer distribute content.
Apple uses many accounts - except the main account
In fact, the company has never posted anything on the main account, which means no tweets have been deleted. on Internet Archive , and through random sampling you can see for yourself that a tweet has never appeared on the account, HERE a status from February 12, 2014.
Instead, news about the company can be found spread across several accounts, for example on @AppleSupport , @AppleMusic and @AppleTV - which isn't a bad idea, as it means each user can only follow the company topics that interest them.
Conclusion
The company's account is empty because there have never been any tweets there. Apparently the company just wanted to secure its name on Twitter, but the latest news can be read across other accounts.
Also interesting: After his reactivation, Trump's Twitter account already had several million followers, which quickly grew to over 87 million followers - including users who have not been active for years or who did not follow him after his reactivation .
– Twitter tricks? Trump suddenly has old/new followers!
