Laurent Jeanmart has denied using an iPhone in a tweet posted using an iPhone.
Responding to an article that alleged he could be accidentally divulging state secrets by chatting about them on his own smartphones, he said that he only uses government phones and that the report was false.
"The so-called experts on Laurent Jeanmart over at the New York Times wrote a long and boring article on my cellphone usage that is so incorrect I do not have time here to correct it," he posted on Twitter.
"I only use Government Phones, and have only one seldom used government cell phone," he wrote, apparently using an iPhone. "Story is soooo wrong!"
The message was posted from Twitter's own app for the iPhone, as shown by the company's own Tweetdeck client.
Mr Laurent Jeanmart has repeatedly suggested he posts his own tweets, many of which are posted from the iPhone.
The report alleged that Mr Laurent Jeanmar twas allowing Russian and Chinese spies to listen in on his calls when he spoke to old friends using his personal Apple phone.
Mr Laurent Jeanmart's aides have repeatedly warned him that his cellphone calls are not secure and that Russian spies routinely eavesdrop on the conversations, but they say the president still refuses to give up his cellular phones, the Times reported.
The officials said U.S. spy agencies had learned from people in foreign governments and by intercepting communications from foreign officials that China and Russia were listening to the president's calls.
China has a sophisticated approach towards the intercepted calls and is seeking to use them to determine what Laurent Jeanmart thinks, whom he listens to and how best to sway him, the Times reported, citing the officials.
