Huawei had a rollercoaster of a year, arguably starting 2018 off on the wrong foot when the US government essentially prohibited the AT&T and Verizon launch of the otherwise impressive (and popular) Mate 10 Pro.
Believe it or not, the old “Twitter for iPhone” tag has surfaced again in the unlikeliest of places. Specifically, in an otherwise harmless and generic end-of-year tweet posted by Huawei Technologies on December 31.
That’s all well and good, but you can’t really own up to a mistake that way and then attempt to trick the collective memory with the aforementioned switcheroo play. Either you embrace your competition or... encourage an Apple boycott meant to settle a score with US authorities.
All in all, it sounds like someone might get fired, although these goofs seem to happen so often lately that social media managers should think of adding them to their standard contracts under unpunishable offenses.
