iOS Twitter app renamed to X after Apple makes an exception

01 August 2023
An unwritten rule said that app names must be at least 2 characters long, but Cupertino decided to let this one slide.

Anonymous, 01 Aug 2023Elon missed the opportunity to rename the app as XXXWas that supposed to be a “joke” that only immature juvies would find funny?

    Musk: X
    Apple: Too short
    Musk: ...45 minute raging tantrum then passes out...
    Musk: U+1D54F
    Apple: App renamed!

      While I will say Twitter has been better after Elon took control (out went the intolerants mods and the good-for-nothing "devs"), this change of name is unnecessary.

Isn’t it the reason for which anyone else buys assets? Is he making people’s lives harder? Will him changing the Twitter theme, logo and mission effect you in any real way? If you can’t answer these questions then it doesn’t make any sense to call him an ‘evil’ businessman. He is one of the most visionary, passionate, hardworking and intelligent businessman the world has ever seen.

          The purpose was for the cabal to acquire a major platform and then later use it for CSRQ. That will happen now, with this X app."

            The future will tell, its only the beginning of something that is unexpected.

                    Such a bad rebranding of an iconic mark, and a terrible business mistake.

                    I'm wondering if he for some reason is trying to kill off Twitter (or X) as a whole.

                      I'm a lifelong p*rn addict, and support Elon Musk's renamed X Twitter app. Would like to see X breaks the boundaries to the new norm.

                          since Elon unbanned deadnaming, let's just continue to call it Twitter and refuse to acknowledge X. maybe then that loser will understand how it feels

                            concentration of power led to this , open source won again

                            Google's plans to introduce the Web Environment Integrity (WEI) API on Chrome has been met with fierce backlash from internet software developers, drawing criticism for limiting user freedom and undermining the core principles of the open web

                            Vivaldi, Brave, and Firefox have taken a strong, opposing stance against Google's proposed standard, so-called DRM (digital rights management) for websites.

                              The future will tell, its only the beginning of something that is unexpected.

                                wow I lost a lot of respect for Apple again. First they keep advertising on that hate speech platform after elon threatens them and now they bend their holy app store rules for him.. what are they afraid of?

                                  I always wondered who will take the crown of being modern day joker/psycho. Looks like Musk is way ahead in the race

                                    Emon just can't stop making twitter worse

                                      Apple would have done same if Google, Microsoft, Nasa, etc. had made an app with single character.
