However, it appears that the X app did not make it to the top of the list of Yaccarino’s favorites. During the Code 2023 conference, Yaccarino unlocked her iPhone to illustrate what X is supposed to represent. What inadvertently became evident was that the X app was not on her iPhone’s first page.
Observant viewers noted that the X CEO’s Home Screen featured apps such as Starbucks, Gmail, Signal, and several of Apple’s native apps like Messages, FaceTime, Wallet, Camera, and Calendar.

While it’s possible that Yaccarino placed the X app on a different page or within the App Library, it’s still noteworthy that it didn’t secure a spot on the first page. Interestingly, Yaccarino also chose to keep the Settings app in the Dock, which adds a touch of irony to the situation.
