Quote: Apple Caught Using an Android Phone to Post on Twitter
As if the terrible iPhone sales weren’t embarrassing enough

Apple Music account uses Android to post on Twitter
Employees working for phone manufacturers using devices from a competing brand isn’t something that strange, especially as every company needs to be up-to-date with what their rivals are doing.

But when it comes to Apple, using an Android phone sounds like something that is fully forbidden.

And yet, here’s Apple posting on Twitter from an Android device, as discovered by YouTuber Marques Brownlee recently.

The tweet you see here was published in November when the official Apple Music account was promoting Ariana Grande’s latest EP. And as noted in the lower part of the tweet, the message was posted from an Android device.

At some level, this makes sense. Apple Music is also available on Android, so obviously, Cupertino’s employees themselves need to use Android to optimize the service for the platform.

Samsung also uses iPhones
But given the criticism Apple has been facing lately, this is certainly unexpected, especially because the company has apparently hoped to escape without being caught.

In the last few weeks, Samsung itself took to Twitter to post messages from an iPhone, and in some cases, the South Koreans have even decided to remove a number of accounts after the whole thing went viral.

Needless to say, neither Samsung nor Apple commented on using rival phones to post on Twitter, but right now, it just seems we’ll just have to get used to it. It sounds strange for Apple to use Android, but given that these days iPhones no longer sell like hot cakes, don’t be too surprised if some Cupertino employees themselves are thinking of switching to Google’s mobile operating system.

And overall, Apple has bigger problems than a tweet posted from an Android device. 2018 iPhones are selling well below expectations, and despite all the company’s efforts to reignite interest in its models, customers just can’t be convinced to pay more than $1,000 on a smartphone.
