Just curious; when President Trump posts on Truth Social, what does he use: a phone, tablet...?
Great question, Louise! While there’s no official confirmation of the exact device President Trump uses to post on Truth Social, most signs point to a smartphone—likely an iPhone.
📱 Why a smartphone is most likely:
His posting style is rapid-fire and frequent, often with typos, all-caps, and exclamation points—hallmarks of quick mobile typing.
He’s known to favor iPhones during his presidency, and Truth Social has a dedicated iOS app.
The immediacy and volume of his posts (sometimes dozens a day) suggest he’s using a device that’s always on hand.
📊 Supporting clues:
According to an analysis by AFP, Trump posted an average of 16 messages per day on Truth Social during the first half of 2025.
His posts often include real-time reactions to news, which aligns with mobile usage rather than desktop posting.
Of course, it’s possible he occasionally uses a tablet or computer, especially for longer posts or media uploads. But for those signature bursts of all-caps commentary, a phone seems like the go-to.
Would you like a breakdown of his most common posting times or styles? It’s pretty fascinating how he’s turned Truth Social into a digital megaphone.

We're hearing about something called 'liquid glass'...
Ah, yes—Liquid Glass is Apple’s bold new design language, and it’s making waves across all their platforms in 2025. Here’s the scoop:
🧊 What Is Liquid Glass? Liquid Glass is a dynamic visual material introduced in iOS 26, macOS Tahoe, iPadOS 26, watchOS 26, and tvOS 26. It mimics the optical qualities of real glass—translucent, reflective, and fluid—but rendered digitally to create a more immersive and responsive interface.
🔍 Key Features:
Translucent UI Elements: Buttons, sliders, and panels now look like frosted glass, subtly reflecting and refracting background content.
Context-Aware Colors: UI components adapt to app colors and lighting conditions, shifting between light and dark modes.
Layered Depth: Multi-layered effects give a 3D-like appearance to interface elements.
Real-Time Motion: Thanks to Apple Silicon, Liquid Glass responds instantly to gestures and device movement.
📱 Where You’ll See It:
iPhone & iPad: Lock Screen, Control Center, Dock, and notifications.
Mac: Sidebars, modals, and toolbars.
Apple Watch & TV: Menus and overlays with shimmering glass effects.
🧪 Beta Tweaks: Apple has been refining Liquid Glass throughout the iOS 26 beta cycle:
Beta 6 added more transparency to the Lock Screen clock and enhanced chromatic effects on toggles and tab bars4.
Accessibility settings now let users reduce transparency for better readability.
🎨 Why It Matters: Liquid Glass isn’t just eye candy—it’s Apple’s attempt to unify the look and feel across devices while making interfaces more intuitive and expressive. It’s like giving your screen a personality that reacts to you.
Want to see how developers are using Liquid Glass in their apps or how it compares to past design styles like skeuomorphism or flat design? I can dive deeper!
Can you direct me to a site with visuals to help me understand?
Absolutely, Louise! If you're curious to see what Apple's new Liquid Glass design looks like, here are a few great sites with visuals and explanations:
🌐 Apple Developer Documentation This is Apple’s official guide for developers. It includes examples of how Liquid Glass appears in apps, UI components, and animations across iOS, macOS, and more.
🧊 Liquid Glass – Apple's Revolutionary Design Technology This site showcases before-and-after comparisons, icon generators, and visual demos of Liquid Glass effects like refraction, layering, and motion. It’s a great place to get a feel for the aesthetic.
🎨 Liquid Glass – The Future of Apple Interface Design Offers a deep dive into the principles behind Liquid Glass, with animated examples and design best practices. It’s especially helpful if you want to understand how it behaves dynamically.
Let me know if you want help interpreting any of the visuals or if you’d like a side-by-side comparison with older Apple design styles like flat or neomorphic.
If I buy an Apple device today, does liquid glass come with it?
Yes, Louise—if you buy a new Apple device today that ships with iOS 26, macOS Tahoe, iPadOS 26, watchOS 26, or tvOS 26, it will include the Liquid Glass design language built right in.
Here’s how it works:
🧊 Liquid Glass Comes Standard With:
iPhone 17 series (including the upcoming iPhone 17 Air)
iPad models launching with iPadOS 26
Macs running macOS Tahoe
Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3
Apple TV with tvOS 26
💡 What You’ll Notice:
Translucent, fluid UI elements like tab bars, sliders, and notifications
Real-time reflections and refractions that respond to your wallpaper and gestures
A more immersive, layered interface that adapts to light and context
📱 Already Own an Apple Device? If your current device supports the new OS versions, you’ll get Liquid Glass through a software update. For example:
iPhones from the iPhone 15 Pro onward are expected to support iOS 26.
Macs with Apple Silicon (M1 and newer) will run macOS Tahoe.
