x (@toiletduck23) reported@UU_Ess_Pee @deandunham I haven’t yet had a problem. But it is misleading. Even if you buy a film on the Apple Store, it says ‘buy’. Unfortunately it’s a consumer misconception that the hand over of payment for a digital item is yours. When ‘digital’ is concerned, it’s not.

s! (@lethargium) reportedguy at the Apple Store told me about how his neurodivergence leads to stomach problems that stopped him from continuing his PhD and he kept talking about the connection between chemistry and society. you know what yeah!!!

Kenzo (@Kenzo1g) reported@playwithtomide Not a site but an app “DRM sport” available in apple store or you can also down “Nova soccer “

Omkaar🔆 (@buildwithomkar) reportedFaced a similar issue at the Apple Store recently. Opted for credit card EMI on a MacBook, but the entire amount was billed upfront in one go. The store blamed it on the bank rejecting the backend EMI conversion. Credit card EMI processing in retail is notoriously messy.

Abidemi Babaolowo Rolihlahla 🇳🇬 (@enyola) reportedApple is not doing well at all, what the actual hell? Bought three MacBook Airs a week ago for my team members and almost forgot about it. Why did we unbox them like a kid on Christmas day, only to discover that two of them straight up had NO power adapters in the box. Just the laptop sitting there looking pretty and completely useless. I called the supplier and he's telling me two must be EU/UK and they don't ship with chargers, only US ship with adapters. Werey even sent me bill for two chargers immediately. What is all the nonsense “in the name of compliance” or whatever eco-friendly PR stunt? Where exactly do you expect me to magically pull chargers from @AppleSupport ? Thin air? The nearest Apple Store at 2 a.m.? Or My neighbor’s junk drawer? This is such a **** move. Paying full price for three machines and you’re making me run around hunting for bricks like it’s 2010. Ship every ******* box with adapter or fix your packaging and least slap a warning on the box. Ridiculous.

Pablo (@pfernan95dev) reported@vedanthk_ @BratDotAI Well actually not that bad! The real problem is when you are a noob and need to resubmit 3 version before the first approval.. Got me like 1 month to get the first release on apple store🥲

Töregene (@_OftheWaves_) reported// Just a heads up to my close moots, I have tech issues with my phone again so I will be away from answering on my phone at least for a while, since I will be using a loaner and sending in my phone to get fixed by my local apple store. I had issues with it earlier this year

James (@jamescoder12) reportedThe uncomfortable truth. Apple shipped Wallet with every iPhone for 12 years. They added car keys in 2020. Home keys in 2021. Digital ID in 2022. Transit, boarding passes, insurance, and loyalty cards have been building quietly since 2014. But the app icon is a picture of a credit card. The setup wizard doesn't mention car keys. The Apple Store employee doesn't walk you through transit passes. The iPhone ad doesn't show someone unlocking their front door with their wrist. Apple marketed Wallet as a payment app. Then they built it into a physical-life replacement platform one feature per year, one category at a time, without ever updating the way they talk about it. Most iPhone owners see the Wallet icon and think: "That's where my credit card lives." They're right. It's also where their car key, their home key, their driver's license, their hotel key, their boarding pass, their transit card, their insurance card, their event tickets, and their cash card live. Or could live if they opened the app past the first card they added. "I used to empty my pockets every night onto the nightstand phone, wallet, keys, cards, badges. Now I set down one phone. Everything else is inside it. Has been for years. I just never set it up." Apple Wallet isn't a payment app. It's the app that replaces the objects you've been carrying your entire adult life. Apple just never told you because 'tap to pay' fits on a billboard, and 'digital replacement for your entire pocket' doesn't. 9 features. 35 minutes. One pocket. Everything else is in the drawer. The wallet was always in the phone. You just never unpacked it.

Maaz jr 🦅 (@maazscript) reportedA little different from what I usually do👨🏾💻 After deploying the apps to both the Play Store and Apple Store, and while waiting for the frontend production team to catch up with me, I decided to spend some time on the other side of development. Currently testing the web application, going through reported bugs, validating fixes, reporting new issues, creating and assigning Jira tickets to engineers, and following up to make sure everything gets resolved properly. Not just building anymore… making sure what we build actually works. 🦅

Amy Dammit (@AmyDammit) reported@ssgtwrightusmc @Verizon We have had AT&T for over 20 years. I used to visit stores when I needed help, now I use the chat feature on their website. Have never had an issue, good results and I print off a transcript of the conversation. We have all Apple products and upgrade through the Apple Store.

Matteo (@matteodotsui) reported@vibhu Let me ask you a question @vibhu I got to know you via Solana Spaces. Those beautiful, minimalistic physical stores that gave out Apple Store vibes and sadly ended up closing down. Looking back, what made you conclude those were a mistake?

バカリズム (@BakaLeethm) reported@apple @AppleSupport Dear Apple Support / Customer Relations, My name is Yukita, and I am contacting you on behalf of my friend in Japan regarding a serious unresolved issue with Apple Japan. My friend previously had his iPhone repaired at an Apple Store in Japan. However, the repair appears not to have been completed properly, and the iPhone later suffered water damage and is now unusable. He contacted Apple Japan regarding the issue, but he was told that he would need to travel to Tokyo so that Apple could determine whether the damage was caused by him or was related to the previous repair. He does not live in Tokyo, and traveling there would cost him more than USD 100. More importantly, he currently cannot use his iPhone at all. I have already contacted Apple Support in the United States, but I was told that they could not assist because the device and customer are located outside the United States. We understand that Apple needs to inspect the device to determine the cause of the problem. However, we do not understand why he must personally travel to Tokyo, especially when the issue may be related to an incomplete or improper repair performed by Apple. Because the phone is currently unusable, he has already suffered additional losses, including access to important photos and data, backups, and transportation-related funds stored on the device that cannot be refunded. We are therefore requesting that Apple escalate this matter and provide a practical solution that does not require him to travel to Tokyo at his own expense. For example, we would appreciate an inspection at a closer Apple Store or authorized service location, or another arrangement that allows the device to be evaluated as soon as possible. This matter is urgent because he currently has no usable phone. Please review this case and contact us as soon as possible. We would sincerely appreciate Apple’s assistance in resolving this matter fairly and promptly. Regards, Yukita

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.

Michael Pepper (@M1CHAEL_PEPPER) reportedAs great as the iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 betas have been, the watchOS 27 beta is atrocious. Siri doesn’t work for HoneKit controls and it’s super slow for checking weather and other things compared to iOS and iPadOS 27. I might have to take a trip to the Apple Store to revert my watch back.

Jack (@jackcoder0) reportedYour iPhone has shortcuts Apple never told you about. You've owned it for years and used maybe two of them. A former Apple Store Genius who spent 5 years teaching customers how to use their phones said the same thing happened every day: a customer would come in with a problem that a built-in shortcut already solved. Editing text. Undoing mistakes. Scanning documents. Switching apps. Selecting multiple items. All solvable with a gesture nobody taught them. "Apple builds shortcuts into every corner of iOS and never puts them on the box. There's no tutorial. There's no pop-up tip. There's no guided walkthrough. You either discover them by accident, hear about them from a friend, or use your phone for 5 years without knowing your keyboard is a trackpad, your back panel is a button, and three fingers can undo anything." He said most iPhone owners interact with their phone the slow way tapping, scrolling, switching between apps one at a time when a gesture, a shortcut, or a hidden feature could do the same thing in half the time. "You're doing 40 taps a day that could be 10. The shortcuts are already on your phone. Nobody showed you." Here are the 9:

🐍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

Jane Slavin (@JaneSlavin) reportedThe @Apple store on regent st ‘repaired’ my daughter’s phone when she took it for a battery replacement and they BROKE it. It’s literally cracked and hot and keeps shutting down. They have offered her a new phone but only if she BUYS one. Wtf?

William AI (@wiliam23820a) 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.
