From Electoral-Vote.com:
A theory has been circulating that the Donald Trump tweets that come from an Android device are from the candidate himself, while the ones that come from an iPhone are the work of his staff. David Robinson, a data scientist who works for Stack Overflow, decided to test the theory. His conclusion: It's absolutely correct.
Robinson did some text-mining (using R) to analyze roughly 1,400 tweets from Trump's timeline, and demonstrated conclusively that the iPhone tweets are substantively different than the Android tweets. The former tend to come later at night, and are vastly more likely to incorporate hashtags, images, and links. The latter tend to come in the morning, and are much more likely to be copied and pasted from other people's tweets. In terms of word choice, the iPhone tweets tend to be more neutral, with their three most-used phrases being "join," "#trump2016," and "#makeamericagreatagain." The Android tweets tend to be more emotionally charged, with their three most-used phrases being "badly," "crazy," and "weak."

People as wealthy as Donald Trump do not drive their own cars, they do not buy their own groceries, they do not cook their own dinners, they do not fill out their own paperwork. Anything that they can pay someone else to do is done so. That goes double for a popular political candidate who, except for laws requiring it, wouldn't even have to pay his supporters for any convenience. "One servant is worth more than a house full of appliances" and all that.
It would be a story if Donald Trump actually wrote his own twitter messages. It would be amazing if such a popular political candidate dictated even half of them. But the fact is, he probably suggests something to his campaign manager who calls over an employee and tells them what to write. One time of day it is one employee doing it, another time of day it is another.
