Apple on Twitter? It’s not a new phenomenon. The Cupertino company has shied away from making a companywide Twitter account, but it has various other ones relating to specific brands, like @AppleMusic or @AppStore.

There’s a new one now that’s sort of company-wide though, in the sense that it affects all Apple products — @AppleSupport.

The company has taken to Twitter to “provide tips, tricks and helpful information when you need it most.” How many followers does it have? It’s rapidly gaining more quick but as of publication, it has 33,300 followers — after just a few hours of being live.

The Notes app has some awesome hidden tricks. A favorite of ours: how to turn lists into checklists. #AppleSupport pic.twitter.com/6fdzsRT1i4

The account has only posted four tweets as of publication, one of which is how to turn lists into checklists in the Notes app, with a photo gallery going through the process. But Apple seems to have high amount of reply tweets already, responding to people asking for support on its products. The company is offering instructions on how to solve issues, while also requesting users to direct message the account to get more information so they can help them further — at least that’s better than sending them a customer support phone number.

@srivi20 We want to help with this. DM us which device you're using and we'll go from there.

Hopefully direct messaging the account will actually ensure support for people experiencing problems.

The account mostly follows Apple’s various other Twitter accounts, but is also following @BeatsbyDre, as well as a few company executives such as CEO Tim Cook, Senior Vice President of Internet Software and Services Eddy Cue, and Angela Ahrendts, senior vice president of retail and online stores.

How much is Spotify Premium, and can you get it for free?
Spotify app icon on iPhone.

Spotify gives you access to an incredible amount of music (100 million songs), podcasts (5 million) and audiobooks (nearly half a million)—so it's no wonder the service has become culturally ubiquitous, with well over 200 million subscribers as of 2024. That's more than both Apple Music and Amazon Music.

If you want to get the best of Spotify, you'll want to sign up for a Premium account, which costs $10.99 a month for an individual membership. There are also subscription options for two people (Spotify Premium Duo, $14.99 a month), families (Spotify Premium Family, $16.99 a month), and students (Spotify Premium Student $5.99 a month).

If this is what an Apple smart ring could look like, I need it right now
An Apple smart ring concept by Jonas Daehnert

Forget the Apple Vision Pro. What many users really might want to see is an Apple smart ring. A new concept shows what one of these first-generation wearables could look like. Consider me sold, Apple; where can I lay down my credit card?

There have been rumors in recent years about the possibility of Apple releasing a smart ring that would compete with the Oura Ring and the long-rumored Samsung Galaxy Ring. If Apple were to release such a device, it would likely track various health metrics to help users understand their sleep patterns, activity levels, and overall health. Essentially, it would be like an Apple Watch for your finger.
