Apple Inc.’s Twitter account remains online and CEO Tim Cook continues to post on his Twitter account, quelling speculation that the tech giant will remove the platform from its App Store, a move that would dramatically restrict iPhone access to the site.

Apple Fellow Phil Schiller, who leads Apple’s App Store and Apple Events, deactivated his Twitter account on Nov. 19. The following day, links to his account said it no longer exists.
