Bradley (@VerdeSelvans) reportedJust wanted to share an update regarding this issue. I spoke with one of Apple's Senior Advisors in Indonesia, and they explained that my replacement request couldn't be approved because Indonesia doesn't have an Apple Store—only Apple Authorized Service Provider. The Apple Authorized Service Provider denies to replace my phone. They suggested that I visit an Apple Store in Singapore or Malaysia instead, as those are the closest countries to me with official Apple Stores, and they should be able to replace my phone there. Will I fly to Singapore or Malaysia just for a replacement? Definitely not. Plane tickets aren't cheap these days. I'll treat this as a lesson learned, and hopefully it can be a lesson for you guys too—especially if you live in Indonesia or another country without an Apple Store. Do I blame Apple? No. They actually offered to replace my phone from the very beginning, but I chose not to accept it. That said, I really wish Apple would open an official Apple Store here in Indonesia.

Caffe' Satoshi (@CaffeSatoshi) reportedI hate scammers who use "crypto" as an excuse, they give everyone and all legitimate businesses a bad name I have been following this scam "Crypto" company for a long time. They even had the audacity to open 4 shops in Malta promoting their scam to innocent people in person. They are called DistributeX and have also been organising cult-like "community events" to recruit victims They promise easy money for simple daily tasks (clicking green crypto icons on their app) + big returns on deposits starting from €140. Higher tiers require thousands of euros with massive claimed payouts. 180-day lock-in, referral bonuses, luxury rewards… the classic Scammer's pitch. I have since discovered they have: - NO clear registered company in Malta - No verifiable withdrawals (180-day rule + daily task requirement) - Physical “community centres” that feel like recruitment offices - Targeting mostly immigrant foreigners and using dodgy testimonials - App not on Apple Store but they are on Google Play! I have found warnings and court cases in other countries for this eg. Mauritius FSC alert I NEED YOUR HELP TO HELP DELETE THEIR APP ON GOOGLE PLAY This app should NOT be on Google Play. Apple already rejected or removed it, Google needs to do the same. Please report the DistributeX app on Google Play as a scam / fraudulent app. Spread awareness so more people don’t lose their money. Let’s shut this down before more people fall victims. I will keep you posted with updates and more info very soon. They have almost no official social media presence. Instead, only their “employees” and recruiters promote the scheme on personal profiles. I strongly suspect many of these recruiters are victims themselves, caught in the same trap and incentivised to bring in more people to keep the cycle going. When this inevitably collapses, they’ll likely be left holding the bag. @GooglePlay @Android

Ms. Humble Diva (@humble_diva81) reported@jolissaxo_ I cried bc after my dad died all I had were his voicemails. Went to the apple store bc I had an issue with my phone , the worker reset my phone without asking me. The way I bawled in that store! I would've kept my phone broken to never lose those. This one had me in my feelings!

LibbyAnn C (@MarineLibby) reportedI had to get some more alerts before I could reply to you since I can only use the bottom half of my touchscreen. Problems I never thought of in the year 2005! I do have to give a shout out to the Apple Store. They helped me when I was totally locked out of my account even though I bought my phone from a third-party and walked in with a cracked screen I honestly thought they were gonna be the worst and turned me away and the guy spent like an hour and a half with me
-
Dr. Buddy Rydell (@DrBuddyR) reported@bowscan Nope. What is his name, if this isn’t a scam? He launched this project on Robinhood and tricked buyers into investing in a product, and then walked away from it less than 24 hours later. Not, hey this is a memecoin, but a real project. Either way I’m going to report ******** out of it. He used Apple Store to create this X account, so it will be easy to track him down.

JD (@jdiii4) reported@MarieIsabellaB Almost got arrested in Verizon over the same issue. Needed a replacement and manager said I could not get one of the phones in the store. Another worker told me to go to the Apple Store. Never stepped foot in Verizon store since.

Rey Nemaattori (@ReyNemaattori) reported@UttarandhraPlus @sanpellyenjoyer Blacks looted, you mean: blacks looted the apple store. And you're right, the problem isnt cultural, its genetic.

SaMi (@info_with_ai) reported🚨 BREAKING: A former Apple Store employee revealed what they say customers rarely hear at the Genius Bar. If your battery health is still above 80%, you may be pushed toward a new iPhone when a battery replacement could solve the problem. Before your next Genius Bar visit, here are 5 things Apple employees may not tell you—according to someone who worked behind the bar:

RedDevil (@zebrinaholmes) reported@HOUSEPORN___ This is how I almost fell down the stairs at the Apple Store downtown in Union Square out here in San Francisco because why are the stairs made of glass see-through tell this day I’m still super cautious of going up and down

Spacefaring Civilization (@Anonymo42055065) reported@Ro_Exotic @SmallEyez @markgurman I’ve only used the Apple care with the IUP once, and the Apple Store tried dicking me around by saying damage wasn’t covered. Demanded ~$400 to fix. I raised hell until they realized policy literally says $99 deductible.

Easton Coleford | AI (@ecoleai) reportedMARCUS CHEN STACKED 30 MAC MINIS AND BUILT AN AI SERVER FARM. A SINGLE $599 MAC MINI CAN REPLACE YOUR $200/MONTH CLAUDE CODE ACCOUNT, COSTING JUST $3 IN ENERGY. Two months ago, a developer posted his Claude Code bill on Reddit: $170 in just 10 days. Someone replied: “I bought a Mac Mini M4. I haven’t paid Anthropic anything since then.” That same week, Mac Minis vanished from Apple Store shelves. The M4 chip delivers 120 GB/s of memory bandwidth and a unified memory architecture. The CPU and GPU share the same memory pool, so the model loads just once and both access the same data. In practice, a $599 Mac Mini can run AI better than many $1,500 Windows PCs equipped with dedicated GPUs. Since January 2026, Ollama has started supporting Anthropic’s Messages API format. With just one environment variable, Claude Code connects directly to your local Mac Mini. The same interface. Zero API cost. $0 per request. A developer who uses AI intensively can spend $459 a month across Claude Code Max, ChatGPT Pro, Gemini, Cursor, and Copilot. That adds up to $5,508 a year. The Mac Mini investment pays for itself in about three months. After that, the operating cost is around $3 in electricity. Uber rolled out Claude Code to 5,000 engineers and would have burned through a significant chunk of its $3.4 billion AI budget for 2026 in just four months. Whoever controls the infrastructure today could be years ahead of everyone else tomorrow.

Jack (@jackcoder0) reported6. Free data transfer and setup the service most buyers decline and then struggle alone. When you buy a new iPhone, iPad, or Mac at the Apple Store: the staff will transfer your data from your old device, set up the new one, and walk you through the key features. Free. Most customers say "no thanks, I'll set it up at home" then spend 3 hours figuring out data transfer, re-downloading apps, re-entering passwords, and troubleshooting iCloud sync issues. The Apple Store setup takes 20-30 minutes. They do it while you browse. They transfer contacts, photos, apps, and settings from your old device. They pair your Apple Watch. They configure Face ID. They verify iCloud backup. For seniors and less tech-savvy buyers: the in-store setup eliminates the most frustrating part of a new device. You walk in with an old phone. You walk out with a new phone fully set up, fully loaded, fully working. For Mac buyers: the staff transfers files, settings, and applications from your old Mac to the new one using Migration Assistant. Everything transfers. Even your desktop wallpaper.

Lau - CEO of Adam’s wing floof (@Lau_33847) reportedGuess who has to bring her tablet into an apple store because the damn thing won’t stop shutting down and restarting for no reason 🤪 There’s at least $200 down the drain on a new battery (which I think is the main cause of the problems) if they do find something wrong with it 🤑

billie (@morksenposting) reported@etemologypika thank you i’m trying to fix it I have acetabulofemoral joint pain from standing like gay little monkey in apple store without realizing it

Josh (@jjpcodes) reported@thekitze shoot your mac with a gun every night at 10pm. tomorrow morning go to the apple store, buy a new mac, ssh into a server, bam done. more seriously what about MDM that locks down your device enough so that you can't change the relevant settings; and the only person with access to the MDM after initial setup is someone who is not you and not bribable by you?

ThatMedChidi👩🏽⚕️🩺💓 (@chidi_jenny) reportedWent to @Apple store in Arndale to diagnose/fix my screen that’s been going dark & they told me the screen & battery were done for & it’ll cost like 600 quid to fix; advised me to get a new one instead 😩. In the meantime I’ll just keep connecting it to my TV w/ HDMI 😩😭😭😭.

Gladiator (@EpicTradeDate) reported@MarioNawfal It's a glitch in the matrix. Apple store may be avaible in telegram btw

Dr. Buddy Rydell (@DrBuddyR) reported@Trader0zan @bowscan Report to Robinhood so they can handle the SEC and FBI side of things. They ****** up when they had us invest into an actual product, not a memecoin and then walked away away from it 24 hours later, after dumping on us from side wallets. Dumbass used the Apple Store to signup for X so tracking won’t be a problem.

Fandom Pulse (@fandompulse) reportedStar Trek writer Peter David on why he hated Star Trek: Discovery: "I have no idea what any of it looks like. Every single scene was apparently filmed in a power outage. The sets are dark, the costumes are dark, everything is so dámņëd dark. I mean, yes, people said that the new Enterprise in the Abrams film looked like an Apple store, but at least you could see it. I can’t see crap in ST:D. " Is this a common problem with modern tv shows?
