Twitter (X) Gains Unique 'Like' Animation for Today's Apple Event

Twitter (now X) has added a unique "like" animation for Apple's "Wonderlust" event set to take place later on Tuesday.


Hitting the Like button causes the logo to disperse into pieces, before changing back into the typical love heart. The brief animation reflects the Apple logo graphics used to promote the Apple event – a the multi-colored Apple logo made up of metallic particles – possibly being a subtle nod to the upcoming titanium frame on the ‌iPhone 15 Pro‌. The colors used for the Apple logo also match the expected color options for the 15 Pro, with varying shades of silver, gray, black and dark blue.

Apple began using unique Twitter "like" animations to promote its events three years ago, with the first occasion being for 2020's September "Time Flies" event.

Once again, Apple has also used a custom Twitter hashtag with its logo for the "Wonderlust" event, just as it did for WWDC in June.

The event is expected to headline the ‌iPhone 15‌, Apple Watch Series 9, a second-generation Apple Watch Ultra, and possibly other products. GeekWebGuides will have in-depth coverage of Apple's event, including a live blog on our website and tweets via @MacRumorsLive on Twitter.

Apple today sent out invites for an experience in Los Angeles on Wednesday, October 28, and the "Pro and tell" tagline on the invitation likely means that the rumored MacBook models with touch-enabled OLED displays will stick with MacBook Pro branding instead of the once-rumored "MacBook Ultra" name. The long-rumored "iPhone Ultra" ended up being named iPhone Duo, so speculation that Apple...

My problem with Twitter was simple.

Using Tweetbot, Twitter was a pleasant place. I had around 20,000 posts and nearly 4,000 followers. I had several hundred filters set up that synced between my iPhone and my Mac which means that I very rarely saw anything political and I used it to promote my hobby and engage with other similarly minded people. The filters had been built up over years and if something got through that I didn't want to see, I simply added a new filter.

By killing third party apps the way they did, it made Twitter totally unusable for me. I tried to continue with the official app and via a browser but it was just completely awful.

If they'd engaged with the app developers and found a way to have a chargeable system which was still able to work with the API, I'd have happily subscribed for a few quid a month.

But they didn't and it was unusable. So I dumped it.

Just as what happened with Reddit. My Reddit sub was active with thousands of subscribers. Now it's dead.
