Tech CPA (@hugenpb) reported@farmersbnkgroup is going through an internet banking upgrade. These are tough and impactful. I’ve done two in my prior days as a bank CIO. This one is a challenge. 👉 social media refers to a guide to download to prepare. But provides no link, and their website search provide provides no guide. 👉 their new mobile app cannot be found on the Apple Store 👉 their website, banner noting people need to click on their new link in order to re-enroll, doesn’t change the user experience on the webpage and users are unaware that they have to scroll all the way down to the bottom in order to find the new app 👉 the customer support line is a hybrid of AI and people. This is extremely frustrating for folks who need to navigate through the new experience and are simply looking for help. A computer program that simply responds OK and doesn’t provide any information and awaits the next prompt, is a customer service failure. 👉 this morning, as my wife tried for 40 minutes to get into her Internet banking, and ultimately ended up, waiting on hold for somebody to answer her, we explained these problems to the person who eventually did speak to us, and they threatened to hang up the phone when we passed on these concerns. They treated us like a child that she was not aware that she needed to scroll to the bottom. “I’m sorry the instructions didn’t say scroll, but it’s there isn’t it and you found it.” Ouch. 👉 it is amazing how one moment to pour customer service can outdo all of the hard work and effort that people behind the scenes put in to making some of these technical transitions go smoothly.

Steve Rover (@steverover) reportedMy wife went to @Apple store to get my exchanged iPhone. No box, nothing. She had to take it out of the box which “is used to send back the broken iPhone”. What a nice customer service. I’ll pass over the fact that the guy was totally mansplaining her and she had to pay MY bill because Apple can’t find a way to send me a paiement link for me to pay it. When did Apple got so bad at customer care ?

WDW Vacationer (@WDWVacationer) reported@the_transit_guy Down that same stretch you also have the Apple Store and the Boylston entrance of the Prudential Center. It’s hardly an outlier let’s be serious. “Just a block for Newbury” means nothing. It’s not Newbury.

Izuma Bakumatsu (@izumabakumatsu) reportedI think it's time AT leaves Apple store cause they've always been such problems with these kinda games. That said... this has been a nice time to actually go through the archive events for once.
-
Kamsiob (@Kamsiob) reported@DylanMcD8 I remember the first time I saw this phone. Wasn't convinced to get it until I saw a friend who had it face down on a table and asked him what that was. Within an hour I was at the Apple store getting ready to shelf my Palm Treo which I had just recently switched to from a BB.

Adib Hanna (@adibhanna) reported[Please share this for visibility] So Apple locked me out of my Apple Store account (for Lumary) because they need even more documentation! I already gave them my Green Card, my TN ID, and everything they asked for. Terrible user experience, Apple.

🐍Cherry's Savage Garden🐍 (@Cherry0Reese) reportedBTW, a release of a myth banner is actually a great time to **** up a game's reach on the appstore by giving scathing 1 star reviews on Apple Store/Google Play. Logging in shows there's want for the game but bad reviews shows that there's game management issues. #NoValkoNoMoney

Anubhav (@Anubhavhing) reportedOkay this is weird. But I don't know why Apple review team is facing Purchase issue during the review. Like I have 11 testers for this app in testflight, none of them ever faced this. After I got this notif, I checked it myself again, worked flawlessly. Anyone has any ideas ?? What to check ?? I have covered the basics like rev cat config, apple store subs etc etc. But its working for everyone, all the internal and external testers. How is this possible ?

Peter C.B.A. (Just Drink Rioja) 🇬🇧 (@The_Baron_X150) reported@jonhoneyball @dhh Give me the Mac any day. Just had my M1 MPB Max back from the Apple Store repair (£125) and I couldn’t be happier. No interest in Windoze and its endless problems. 🙄 That’s safely confined to a VM.

Theron (@theron_chase) reportedNone of this requires spending $249 on a new pair right away. It's three things: check real charging habits, turn off features you don't need, and ask about the $49–$69 official battery replacement before assuming a full replacement is the only option. Go check your AirPods settings right now. If this was useful, RT the first tweet so someone else saves $200 before their next Apple Store visit. And if you've got a specific AirPods battery or connection question, reply and I'll help you track it down.

Your Tech Guy 🎖️ (@yourtechguyyy) reportedThank you bro. That 128 gb storage on 16 Pro was absolutely chaotic , so a change was necessary. I always had full storage and I was deleting and downloading the same apps every day. My Dad got an iPhone 17 in mist blue as well, , trading in my old 16 Pro at the Apple Store for $925 aud. Got the full value for it, despite having some deep scratches. iPhone 17 was $1399 aud, after the Trade In, it was $474 aud. This iPhone Air was his for the last 4 months. But now he transferred everything to that 17 , so this Air is mine. I did an iCloud backup , and have iOS 27 beta running on this iPhone Air in Sky Blue. I could have chosen the 17, but I wanted a unique iPhone, and so far I don’t really have an issue with it. I wish 0.5x camera and better battery life , but it’s amazing and beautiful iPhone. The 12 gb ram with the best Siri and expressive voices is amazing so far. It’s like my silver cellular 11 inch M5 iPad Pro with both having C1X cellular and N1 Wifi/Bluetooth/Thread chips — the phone and tablet feel like twins. For now, Air is a “temporary-relief” iPhone mainly for storage. If the iPhone 18 Pro interests me, then I might get that, and give this Air to my mom. She needs an iPhone as well. currently has Pixel 7 Or if the iPhone Air is okay, might as well wait for the 20th anniversary iPhone. Or my dad might get the foldable iPhone Ultra, and give the 17 to my mom. Time will tell. Interesting times ahead such as the new HomePod, Apple TV with AI, MacBook Pro/Ultra with OLED screen etc.

Thomas Rose 🍵🌹 (@thetroseshow) reported@saradietschy The only thing that a pass key has been useful for is when I had it saved in my iCloud and tried to add all my Gmail accounts to my new phone after turning over my old phone to the rep at the Apple Store. Cuz like how can you open the YouTube app on your old phone to verify a sign in for your new phone if you don’t have it! Uhh!!

John Saboe’s Far East Travels (@FarEast_Travels) reportedIt’s true, Tim Cook read my email in 2018 and within 24 hours directed the local Apple Store to replace my logic board. Where’s the real person to solve my issue Team?

Princess Celeste Rose (@CelesteRoseNoir) reportedWent to the Apple Store for a camera repair, left with a free new phone because they couldn’t fix it 💅🏾

Rich (@Rich00153) reported@LucyTrims @veryfathomer @cookhamcockapoo Bath has to do something with the old M&S - you can't have the biggest shop in town standing empty. I was shocked by Quakers Friars in Bristol the other day - all shops closed down, the Apple Store, everything. This was supposed to be the high-end shopping experience in Bristol

Rickey 17 (@RickeySmiffDoe) reported@YungVersaceLord theres no need to ban it, if the issue doesnt exist. thats like me going to an Apple store and banning Androids from being sold. you dont have to ban something thats not already happening in your midst.

Laura (@LauraPrince9122) reported@Ahmadansari2233 @L1enthusiast How did you get one? Are they any good my iPhone 16 pro max from the Apple Store in Liverpool has just about lasted nearly 2 years…. Front screen broken back glass smashed not worth investing in fixing again….. don’t want the ultra but is it better than pixiel fold hmm 🤔

Eric Smith (@Eric_Smith08) reported9. He replaced the battery himself in 30 seconds — and learned the AirTag is designed to last forever. The AirTag uses a standard CR2032 coin cell battery — the same battery in most watches, calculators, and garage door remotes. Available at any pharmacy, grocery store, or gas station for $3-$5. Battery life: approximately 1 year under normal use. How to replace it: Press down on the stainless steel back of the AirTag and twist counterclockwise. The back pops off. Remove the old battery. Drop in a new CR2032 (positive side up). Twist the back on. Done. 30 seconds. No charging cable. No charging pad. No proprietary battery. No trip to the Apple Store. No subscription renewal. A $3 battery swap once a year — and the AirTag runs for another 12 months. He set a calendar reminder: "Replace AirTag batteries" once a year in January. He buys a 10-pack of CR2032 batteries for $8. He replaces all 7 AirTags in under 4 minutes. Annual maintenance cost for his entire AirTag system: $8. Compare this to competitors: Tile trackers: some models have non-replaceable batteries. When the battery dies (1-3 years), you buy a new tracker. Tile's subscription service ($3/month) adds premium features that AirTags include for free. Samsung SmartTag: replaceable battery, but runs on Samsung's Find network — roughly 200 million devices versus Apple's 2 billion. Smaller network means less accurate and less frequent location updates. Apple AirTag: $29 upfront. $3/year in batteries. $0 subscription. Access to a 2-billion-device tracking network. No expiration date. The same AirTag you buy today works in 2030, 2035, and beyond — as long as you swap a $3 battery once a year. "The AirTag doesn't expire. It doesn't need upgrading. It doesn't have a subscription. You buy it once, replace a $3 battery every January, and it protects everything you own — forever."

#1 Comcast Fan (@bsbr666) reported@_UncleMax @jakebrodes yesterday's **** let me cool out and slow it down and work on songs or whatever. today's just chucks my resting heart rate up to 130bpm while rendering me a non-verbal demon. give me mid 00s beasters from my neighbor's porch over that 25% THC **** they sell at the Apple store.

Aleks Racionalus (@racionalus_) reported@Curlh1 Hey Curlheinz! Please tell me about your pricing. Because mine was terrible as I trusted Apple Store to make them automatically across all countries.

Ann Adamson (@AnnDiegoUSA) reported@grok Already did but ... I have a bad feeling about this. If all I need to do is downgrade back to SuperGrok and then upgrade immediately to SuperGrok Plus that's fine, I just need someone to tell me that's the official fix, I don't feel like experimenting and messing up my account. I actually do not need the $30/mo SuperGrok because I have SuperGrok through my X Premium+ account charged through the Apple store... But if I flat out just *cancel* Heavy I'm afraid I will lose all my stuff!

Mostafa Ezzat (@mostafaezztaman) reported@Apple @AppStore @AppleSupport I don't think it's professional that waiting 3 days to get a response on Apple Store Connect support. This's doesn't fit Apple so far! The iOS app has been in review for almost a week and I'm keep messaging back and forth about changes has been done and still getting some issues from no where. The team reaches out ever 3 days!!! So I need someone from Apple Store Management to get this through.

James (@jamescoder12) reportedThe uncomfortable truth. Apple ships the Apple Watch with every feature enabled because the spec sheet is the sales pitch. "Always-On Display. Continuous heart rate. Environmental noise monitoring. Blood oxygen. Temperature sensing." Every feature justifies the price tag. Every feature sounds essential on the product page. But every feature also drains the battery. And Apple rates the watch at 18 hours with "normal use" a definition they control by choosing which features count as "normal." When your watch dies at 2 PM, Apple doesn't say "you have too many features running." They say "the battery lasts 18 hours." When your battery health drops to 80% after 2 years, Apple doesn't say "your charging habits degraded the cells." They offer a $79 replacement or a $449 upgrade. Apple makes money when your battery degrades. They make money when you upgrade. They do not make money when you change 9 settings and keep the same watch for 5 years. The guy who charges every other day and the guy who charges twice a day own the exact same device. Same chip. Same battery. Same hardware. One of them opened Settings. The other opened the Apple Store. "Your Apple Watch doesn't have a battery problem. It has a settings problem. And the company that sold it to you has no incentive to tell you the difference." 9 settings. 7 minutes. Same watch. Twice the battery. The watch was never dying. It was just running a marathon with every feature Apple could strap to its back.
