Donald Trump's iPhone Advice For Tim Cook Has Everyone Scratching Their Heads

“$10 you’re holding the tv remote control,” one person mockingly replied.

President Donald Trump offered some unexpected design advice to Tim Apple Cook, the CEO of Apple, on Friday.

Trump tweeted:

To Tim: The Button on the IPhone was FAR better than the Swipe!

Cook has not yet responded. But when he does, there may be some snark involved. After all, when Trump accidentally called him “Tim Apple” in a meeting in March, Cook subtly changed his Twitter name to “Tim .”

Some tweeters asked if Trump was subtweeting his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, after it emerged that the former New York mayor had twice butt-dialed a reporter in three weeks. Others speculated Trump had just upgraded to a new, button-less model of the device.

Is this a Giuliani joke? Does he not use FaceID? https://t.co/3bXB0hqtjp

Yet another "Had to check if this was a parody account" tweet.

It bothers him, Tim. Keep it that way.

Rudy’s embarrassment is Tim Cook’s fault? Right.

Took me 30 seconds to figure this out, but I got it. Trump just switched from an iPhone 8 with a home button to an iPhone 11 without one, and he doesn’t like it. https://t.co/hTrox4VprY
