New Apple product mockups

@AppleSupport are now on Twitter.
@AppleSupport are now on Twitter. How is it that Twitter is used by the world’s governments, multinationals, and whiny teenagers and they can’t monetize it? It’s because it’s a public utility like telecom, water, and airwaves, and should be treated as such: subsidized by the taxpayer and ad-free.
