i agree that apple probably doesnt want to throw $1k/mo into the trash, but if you were to take a detailed look at all of the money apple spends each month, you would likely find a lot of waste that is harder to justify than having a verified presence on twitter. not saying i agree with them hypothetically spending $1k/mo on twitter, but if you're running a multinational corporation that pulls in almost $400 billion a year, you most likely wouldn't care too much about where 0.000003% of your annual revenue is going.
