US President Donald Trump has a feedback for Apple CEO Tim Cook regarding the company’s iPhone and that is to provide a home button. In a tweet, the leader of the world’s largest economy called out the Apple CEO and lamented the loss of the home button on the company’s smartphones.

Trump in a tweet on Friday wrote, “To Tim: The Button on the IPhone was FAR better than the Swipe!” which in a way suggested that the president would love to have it back in the upcoming Apple iPhones.

 

The tweet, which at the time of writing this report, has been retweeted by nearly 20 thousand times, seems to suggest that the US president is not too happy that Apple has ditched the home button.
