Barry Merritt☦ (@barrymerritt) reported@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.

Oleh (@OlehProductFit) reportedCHINESE DEVS PACKED 1,000 MAC MINIS INTO A SINGLE DATA CENTER AND BUILT A $9,000,000-A-YEAR AI BUSINESS OUT OF APPLE'S CHEAPEST BOX. one thousand silver boxes. rack after rack, floor to ceiling, a wall of fans roaring to keep the whole room cool. Apple sold every one of them for $599 as a desktop for students and creators. these guys turned all thousand into a private cloud that rents compute Western companies charge a fortune for. the build cost around $600,000 once. electricity runs a few thousand a month. and roughly a hundred clients pay monthly retainers to run their models on hardware that never touches the public cloud. run the math and it stops looking like a hobby — boxes bought once, power measured in the low thousands, revenue clearing tens of millions before anyone in the West notices. OpenAI raised billions to build data centers. these guys raised nothing, bought a thousand boxes off the shelf, and quietly undercut the entire industry. the craziest part isn't the scale. it's that every piece of it was sitting in the Apple Store the whole time. tomorrow I'm breaking down how a farm this size is actually wired — the racks, the cooling, the software holding a thousand machines together. save this before running your own cloud stops sounding insane ↓

Jinder Singh (@JinderSinghCA) reported@AppleSupport It’s been more than a week since I visited Apple Store to get my iPhone 17 PM fixed. Which has issue with its charging port. I was told to drop the device at genius bar for the repair. Since then I am continuously taking update from the Apple team and crazy part is.. 1/2

Chirag Singhvi (@chiragsinghvi15) reported@tim_cook Dear Apple Support Team, I am writing to express my extreme frustration regarding a persistent and severe heating issue with my device. Despite visiting the Apple Store approximately 7-8 times and undergoing multiple physical, software, and hardware checks, the problem remains unresolved. My case was reportedly transferred to the international team overseeing PAN India operations, yet I have received no effective response. Furthermore, the support messaging team has stopped replying to my messages. While an RMA was filed and I have submitted requested logs twice, every follow-up call results in a disconnection or a repetitive request for the same logs I have already provided. The heating issue I am experiencing is abnormal and paranormal in nature, persisting even after a full software reload and hardware inspection. This is not just a technical flaw; it is a significant health and safety hazard. Using a device that reaches these temperatures is dangerous, and I am deeply disappointed by the lack of customer centricity and urgency shown by Apple regarding this matter. I request that this case be treated as a top priority. I am seeking an immediate resolution, whether through a definitive repair or a full replacement of the device, as the current situation is unacceptable. I look forward to your immediate response and a concrete plan to resolve this issue. Case ID - 102905743860

Utkarsh Neil (@iUtkarshNeil) reportedThe biggest problem with Unicorn is that they keep fake apple devices. All the apple devices you buy from them will have a super fast decline in battery health. I got the same device from Apple Store delhi and unicorn and the unicorn one I had to sell off within 6 months

Black Panther Wakanda (@panther_wakanda) reported@slytheecreator I downloaded the canel app on Apple Store but doesn’t seem to work. What could be the problem ?

Zavian Kairo (@ZavianKairo_AI) reportedThe uncomfortable truth: Apple’s business model rewards storage anxiety. The more often customers see “Storage Almost Full,” the more likely they are to: 1. Pay for iCloud subscriptions 2. Upgrade to higher-storage models 3. Buy a new iPhone entirely Every default setting on a new iPhone trends in the direction of consuming more storage, not less. The 7 fixes above take about 10 minutes total. They cost nothing. They will recover an average of 40–60 GB on most iPhones over 12 months old. The Apple Store employee said one more thing before he left: “We see this every day. Most people don’t even check Settings → General → iPhone Storage before they walk in. They just assume the phone is too small for them. It almost never is.” RT this so more iPhone users stop spending $1,000 on a storage problem that could be solved with 7 toggles.

Watthewat (@Haptraz) reported@Somniss Quality Indie games are the future. It's just super easy to make a prototype. Steam has to find a solution to this problem. Their market will turn into google play apple store at some point.

Tim Jarrell of PWUnlimited (@TimmyBuddy) reported@LoNe_eXiLe @Damion69122310 If your issue is being locked in to only 1 store then why are people not complaining about mobile gaming and being locked in to either the Apple Store or Google Play only? No one complains about that.

Ashok Shetty (@savidhyashok) reported@poonamjourno @AppleSupport @Apple In the cost they will quote you may get a Good Brand Tab any day. I had approached the Apple store with Macbook issue of key pad numerical numbers key not working And they quoted Rs 30,000/-

Adam Koszek (@wkoszek) reportedIt'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.

Savvy (@TechnovityTech) reported@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 🥹

Keisuke (@KeisukeIshikawa) reportedDANIEL CHEN BURNED $14,000 A MONTH ON H100s UNTIL HE WALKED INTO AN APPLE STORE AND BOUGHT 1,000 MAC MINIS. his AI startup was getting magic output and a death certificate at the same time. the cloud bill was eating the runway faster than the product could earn revenue so daniel ran the math on running it locally. one $599 mac mini m4 pulls 10-20 watts, costs $3 a month in electricity, and runs 24/7 forever. one $599 box replaces a $200/month subscription he racked 1,000 of them into a single facility. the whole stack draws less power than one nvidia server while pushing the same throughput then in january 2026 ollama added the anthropic messages API. now claude code itself connects to your local mac mini with one environment variable. same interface, zero API costs apple stores ran out of mac minis the same month. $599 one time beats $200 a month forever and the market figured it out before the press did the window is open. follow and bookmark before it closes.

John Drouin (@John_Drew65) reported@ramcharger22 My wife and were having security issues that might’ve involved her phone. Went to the Apple Store & they checked it out, no problem. Also told us that there is no real difference between a 13 - 17. If it’s working fine no need to change.

Tyler Pham (@tylershinkai) reportedi made 3 apps published on apple store last month, and only 1 of them made money, around 430$, cuz the app was for solving a problem i was dealing with. the name is PingRev, it gives the new order alert on ios from woocommerce stores with cha-ching sound like shopify, and also showing analytics for all my site combined the other two apps: one app i modify from akinator, the other app i modify from slapmac: Fame Oracle and Baby Tap still havent made any dough yet

Said I was in cust serv for a very long time & I was mortified. He was too.
