Tim Cook's Twitter account blocks folks that dissed the blurry photo post

Of course, nobody was even sure that the pic, shot quickly in the excitement around watching the Super Bowl 50 live, has anything to do with an iPhone, but Twitter being Twitter, folks quickly started getting nasty about it, posting collages and witty remarks. Fed up with the drama, Tim Cook's PR department, which is likely in charge of the Twitter account, took the shot down, and replaced it with something more in focus.
Not only that, but whoever is managing the Apple CEO's account also blocked the worst offenders, so the saga now has every marking of a typical Twitter storm-in-a-teacup. That's what 140 character limitation does to people, Twitter, remove it before you stock reaches half of its IPO levels.

Apple needs to lighten up and have a little sense of humor.
It could've been divert to something funny and witty if they thought about it long and well enough.

From bad to worse. Now there more things to talk about. First, its the out of focus iPhone shot now its Apple PR defensive behavior.
I thought iPhone 6s plus has hardware OIS, and for the price they are charging iPhone 6/6s should get it too.

Still, I wonder why he even posted a blurry photo like that in the 1st place?

The screen res. and screen size of 6s is too small to see blur properly, especially to an old man with spectacles.

Not like cry-babies crying about it and denigrating everyone who notices. But maybe you do?

Almost every single twitter user that has ever lived has deleted a tweet which attracted the negative attention. Most humans on earth, won't let a mistake stick around. This is not childish. This is cleaning up a mess. Damage control if you will. Or aren't you familiar with the concept?

For a company of their calibre of course it's sounds childish, Apple rarely admited their mistakes (remember how Steve react about antena gate? or bendgate issue? why do you think Apple use stronger aluminum now? they said it's not an issue with 6 plus).
Damage control or whatever you called it, it's only apply for those whose not aware of this issue but me & for some people who frequently visited phonearena (tech enthusiast) it's totally a joke...
