  The Apple Store is a joke. Went in last week to replace my iPhone battery. They had to order the part. Waited ~10 days, then got told: “Come in within 2 days or we might give the battery to someone else.” Made an appointment for today. Waited, then the rep says they can’t do the repair because “the system we use to track repairs is down.” Me: “You have the part. You have my phone. But you can’t install it because the computer is down?” Poor guy — not his fault. But the geniuses running the Apple Store aren’t quite as smart as they like to pretend. This is NOT the future.

  @slytheecreator I downloaded the canel app on Apple Store but doesn’t seem to work. What could be the problem ?

  @SoldierSats Google play is being worked on, and Apple store is... Well, a tricky one. The kink is, these stores require devs to run there code so they take a 30% cut of all trxns. My apologies for the download issue. Most phone, have a setting to allow third party/non store downloads. Its quite possible this setting is not enabled.

  Since I posted about @greyfinance and they fixed the issue, a few people have been asking if the USD card works for buying X Premium. The answer is yes, it does ✅ Glad I was able to bring a few more people to the app too. I’m always open to deals and partnerships we’re only growing from here. 🚀 And hey, don’t forget to download @greyfinance from the Play Store or Apple Store and check it out for yourself

  @BriankDfw @iAnonPatriot Is there an Apple Store in Collin County? If not they will find a county with one and riot there. It’s not about the location of the issue, it’s about a location worth taking stuff.

  @MoshiMoshiMoan Ethan Ralph probably has less than $9000 US left. He probably sold the stolen MacBook to pay for *******. It should interesting when @scarletthampt0n decides to lock the stolen MacBook down preventing anyone from using it with MacOS. It would require a US Apple Store to unbrick it. With his temporary residency visa expiring, he may be back in the US soon.

  @yourtechguyyy That’s sucks! Getting a jobs nowadays is harder now due to tariffs and economy crisis. I hope, you do get hired in a better job somewhere else I have a job and is employed. Working at a retail store but it is not a Tech store and me and my mom works there. But I’m trying soo hard to quit that job because of the work load and the conditions that make me wanna leave 😭 Right now, I’m thinking of either working at the Apple Store or Best Buy but sadly, English is not my first language and I struggle to speak English fluently so no way I would be able to communicate with a customer, even tho I know how to fix a problem when it comes to Technology stuff Wishing you best of luck with getting the best jobs and I hope, one day, you’ll be employed and earn some cash and buy your dream house and car, plus Apple products too 🥹

  I think it's way deeper than cost efficiency. Several Apple employees have talked to me over the years about "Apple scale." If you go and sit in an Apple Store and watch people taking a class, there are many Apple customers who are still learning how to use the camera on their phone. When they roll new technology into the Apple platform, it has to work for everybody, not just the nerds. I think that's mostly what he's saying: this technology is still too hard to use and too freaky for normal everyday people, and it brings new service problems to Apple. There is a cost efficiency part to it, of course, but it's really about making products that work at Apple scale. And how many users does that involve? Billions, right?

  A Virtual card saves you from 30-50% tax in each payment.. (Yearly upto 1k$ save!!!) Here is the full view :: I've tried to buy @claudeai's max 20x plan that is for 200$ In my Android app it shows 33.75k BDT= 275$~ Reason : Gpay is legal in my country,so the govt + google play store are taking this 30%~ together In my Iphone is shows 999 AED= 271$~ Reason : Apple store taking 30% tax as per their rules, Moreover Apple Pay is not legal into my country yet, so i use UAE apple id where tax is only 5% for this, If my country govt legal this, they will surely take more 15% like gpay! So it will add more 30$+ when it become legal... At Claude website from any device it shows 200$+ Tax Here tax means it depends on which Countries Visacard you are using to pay! As virtual cards are not registered into any countries bank & as the diposite in card can be done via crypto We are safe from the Tax & etc etc issue Means fixed 200$ i have to give & a single penny wont be waste into Google pay or Apple pay or govt. Tax~ So,, use any trusted company's virtual card & Purchase from website,, Congrates , You are saving 30-50% in every usage...

  It's interesting how Apple Store changed servicing - I can now use the Mac as my part is being shipped. Whoever did this (@tim_cook is it you? - thank you!) Next step: let people just run self-service, and when I come over, perhaps just scan some magic code of my screen and that's it to verify it's the same machine. And the step after next would be to have Apple folks inspect the laptop and suggest fixes under AppleCare. e.g.: you have keyboard marks on LCD - we'll fix it for you. Improvement after this one: just book appointments for fixes and do them just-in-time, almost like doctor visits. So I bring my Mac in 2:54pm, then the service starts at 3pm, and on 3:45pm or so I get a Mac with new battery etc. because all parts were already in that store waiting for me. No need of 4 day stay for a flu. I don't get why there's like 3-7 day wait time for a fix anything. Bettery is like a 10-30min job. Is it because people from half of California send computers to handful of stores? Can't it all be offloaded by having people further away from Apple Store mail computer via Fedex/UPS? Those boxes should go to some big fix center where 50 people can be fixing 50 Macs per hr. It could be perhaps 2-3 days to get computer back, so it'd be better/faster for folks further away. And it'd be amazing experience for folks close to stores.

  12. The "Location-Based Alerts & Apple Ads" The Situation: You assume that seeing targeted ads is just the unavoidable cost of using the internet, and that occasional alerts from your phone are harmless and normal. The System Reality: Apple positions itself as a privacy-first company, but they still have a massive advertising business. Your phone is actively tracking your location, crossing digital geofences, and analyzing your proximity to retail locations to serve you geographically relevant Apple Store ads and location-based suggestions. The Technical Drain: Geofencing is expensive for a battery. The phone has to constantly calculate its distance from invisible barriers to know when to trigger an alert. It’s using your battery power to figure out how to market products to you more effectively. The Fix: Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → System Services → Toggle off "Location-Based Alerts", "Location-Based Suggestions", and "Apple Merchant ID". The Result: You completely sever the connection between your GPS hardware and Apple's internal marketing algorithms. You stop burning battery to get advertised to.

  @BUNN I got a cup of coffee tonight at a Big Apple Store which had two BUNN Touch Screen Coffee Machines. One would think a company as big as @BUNN that is focused on coffee would know how to spell ColOmbian coffee (Not ColUmbian). Hopefully it is something you can fix remotely

  someone stacked 5 Mac Minis on their desk and built a private AI cluster that runs models no single machine could handle no cloud, API key, no monthly bill and no data leaving the room. the tool is called exo(open source) it connects multiple machines over your local network and splits the model across all of them like one giant GPU. what this setup actually does: 5 Mac Minis networked together = combined RAM that can run 70B+ parameter models locally exo handles the distribution automatically you just point it at your machines and it figures out the rest the node graph on screen shows each machine as a node passing inference layers to the next one latency is fast enough for real use. not a toy or demo. a working private inference cluster total hardware cost: less than one month of serious cloud GPU rental the thing nobody talks about: when you run inference locally across your own machines, you own the entire stack. no rate limits. no context window restrictions from a provider. no terms of service. no outage at 2am killing your pipeline. most people think running serious AI locally requires a $30,000 server rack this guy built it from hardware you can buy at any Apple Store

  @JMakeley @ProhibitionUS You can't tell the difference between an Apple Store and a cartel? The PROBLEM is a poisoned supply, cut with fent and rat poison. People are dying not because of drugs but because of cross contamination. Notice how our booze supply isn't poisoned? Legal and regulated industries are not dressed-up cartels, friend. You don't want harm reduction, just control.

  A man noticed his iPhone kept showing “Storage Almost Full,” even though he barely had any photos. He deleted apps. Cleared messages. Removed downloads. But the warning kept coming back every couple of weeks. At one point, he was ready to walk into the Apple Store and buy a new iPhone. A Genius Bar employee stopped him and said: “Before you spend a thousand dollars, let me show you something.” She opened: Settings → General → iPhone Storage Then she shook her head and said: “There are 7 hidden things quietly eating your storage. They come turned on by default, and most people never notice them.” In the next few minutes, she showed him things like cached data, system files, old message attachments, background app storage, and other hidden space users don’t usually check. Within 8 minutes, everything became clear: The phone wasn’t the problem. The hidden storage usage was. And just like that… he didn’t need a new iPhone anymore.

  Everyone pay attention. I had been slept without intention again in restaurant, then a woman came over to wake me up, same thing. Every time when I DFU my phone, SDD rat use same thing to put me sleep and do such thing on my restored phone. This time I have to tell everyone what happened when I DFU my device today at Norwich Apple Store: the staff wanted to MDM my device, and I caught it. How shame it is. I requested restore again to not escalate the issue because I think he had been ordered to do so. I didn’t think that even not give up instead of making me sleep again to do such things on my device again afterwards. Insane

  @cmsj @aidler @ivanfioravanti Bcs of a person has bought iPhone and cannot afford to buy a new smartphone less than 4 or more 5 years after, this person should be protected. For example apple store is a rediculous issue. It was forcing small companies or even individuals to pay big tax to apple for no reason

  PS a few days ago we actually went to Rimowa Copenhagen to fix the previous cracks (in quote tweet) They brushed us off and said they couldn't help us and we'd have to get it fixed in Lisbon where we bought it Which is funny cause if I break my MacBook Pro, I can literally bring it into any official Apple Store anywhere and they'll fix it Or if I lose my debit card, Revolut will send me a new one anywhere in the world and it'll arrive in a day or so! The point of service is especially when it's a suitcase, you're probably traveling when it breaks, and you want to either get it fixed or get a temporary replacement while yours get fixed, so you can keep traveling That's what I mean with premium luxury service that I'm happy to pay a lot for!
