-
Rupali C (@rupalichawann) reported15 days into owning an iPhone 17 Pro and facing extreme heating issues even on calls. Visited Apple Store BKC hoping for support, but was simply told this is “normal behavior.” That response is more frustrating than the issue itself. @AppleSupport @Apple

Link (@0xLink7) reported@PolarisBankLtd My app is up to date fix your app on Apple Store
-
Discord Support (@discord_support) reportedHello there. Unfortunately, if you’re seeing the “invalid subscription” error when attempting to redeem a promotional trial, this means that you currently have an active Nitro Basic, Classic or Server Boosting subscription through the Apple Store or Google Play. Because mobile subscriptions are managed through third parties and separate billing systems, you won’t be able to redeem a promotional trial while they are active. You will need to cancel and wait for your mobile subscription to end completely before you can activate your trial. If your subscription’s end date is after the redemption deadline for the promotion, you won’t be able to redeem the trial code or link, but can gift it to an eligible friend instead. I'm so sorry for any confusion or disappointment here. We are always adding new promotional offers, so please keep an eye out for those in the future.

dar (@radbackwards) reported@1x_tech @NVIDIARobotics Much better with sound on… Preferably in your car (unless you drive a civic then go down to the Apple Store and Bluetooth connect to some AirPod Max’s)

Mai Angwar D Farmer (@melifew213) reported@UBACares good morning, is there a network glitch, my bank APP refused to open and there is no new update on the Apple Store
-
Mark Levit (@professorlevit) reportedUpgraded to iPhone 17. Something went wrong today, early afternoon. Ran it over to the Apple Store where the phones was pugged in to magic devices, the tech futzed with its interface—for a half hour. TECH: “Your phone is broken and needs parts. Good thing you bought Apple Care...

Elikem King (@KingElikem) reported@redjungle_077 @tech_twi But you Dey use google and Apple Store , that one you don't have issues with it

fâr′mīn′dĭd (@cantrellr) reported@RBReich Agreed. Gonna run down to the Apple store and buy me a new phone. Thanks Tim!!

Ashish Chowdhari (@ashishx_1) reportedUpdated my iPhone 14 yesterday and it went black. Today Apple Store said the display must be replaced, and I have to pay for it. If this issue was caused by the update, why should I bear the cost? Customers shouldn’t have to pay for problems caused by Apple’s software. @Apple

Tito (@mynameistito) reported@damnGruz When Google play store? are they even more **** / slow than what I hear it is to get into apple store? 😭
-
michael (@big_mikee88) reported@harryh skill issue… be an adult and talk to someone. every time i go into an apple store i already know what i want and i say i want this and it takes me 5 min or less to buy/walk out the store.
-
Malguro 𝕏 (@malgurox) reported@jmkettle My reviews were taken down from Apple Store many times.
-
Justin Dean 🇺🇸 (@JustinJDean) reportediPhone pops up and says the battery capacity is under 70% and to click here to replace the battery for free. I click and make an appointment for 6:30pm. I drive an hour to the Apple Store and after sitting with the Apple “Genius” for 30 minutes while he enters my info, he informs me that they don’t have time to replace the battery before they close at 8pm, and that I can return tomorrow morning. I feel like I’m in Seinfeld episode. “You know how to take the reservation. Keeping the reservation is the problem”
-
Randy “the viper” martin (@RandyMarshonMD) reportedI just sat in the Apple Store for an hour to get my phone fixed (blacked out woke up and it’s broken) I did not realize how retarded the common man is. There r people out there that don’t know how to delete apps. -🐍🐍
-
Ian Grimsdick (@TheRamblingRep) reported@arpan_on_BC If they're perfectly formed boxes, I'd hazard to guess the little cable that connects the motherboard to the display has gotten a little loose. Should be a warranty issue Apple should fix/replace. Head to an Apple store and they should take care of it. There's a chance ...

David CA6 ~ VTuber Clipper & Software Dev ~ 💫💥 (@david_ca6) reportedMacBook screen broke on Monday... I need it to work... So now I can't use it without an external monitor... Had to go to the Apple Store (1 hour drive)... was told I need an appointment... earliest one was Wednesday (today)... ... At the appointment... I'm ready to pay for the fix... but they refuse to fix it... because the laptop was previously opened... by an Apple employee to replace the defective battery 6 months before... They recommend buying a new MacBook... my macbook is not even 2 years old... and I don't have the $$$ for a new equivalent laptop right now... and Apple just refuse to sell me the LCD or top assembly... So now I need to order a $300 screen from a sketchy seller on AliExpress and hope I will receive it... one day... and that it will work... or not have a laptop anymore... I hate laptop manufacturers...

AWMB_LTD (@AWMB_LTD) reported@gumroad Example: I launched a mobile app that was accepted to the apple store, only to discover a major error in workflow, so changes had to be made and process repeated. Life.
-
Hexerin Null (@HexerinNull) reported@yuusultultultu I would suggest taking the phone to your local Apple Store, and have them check the charging port for physical issues. It is possible the charging port is damaged or defective. If you have Apple’s protection plan, the in-store service is free too!
-
सुdhaरஷN (@Sudrzn) reportedApple Store didn't gave me the reports Even after multiple requests I've raised. Not sure if this is problem with the brand or the country or their employees If the law is firm, reachable, strict and scary to all the cheap bastards, then it'll be a hell for CSR folks
-
Shivansh Aggarwal (@shivansh2308) reported@Vivek_4580ji If you live in delhi. Take your phone with original box to Saket main apple store. They will fix it for you. I have a Japanese variant and they repaired a faulty charging jack for me under warranty. Without BILL!
-
Nobuffer (@nobuffer) reported@jannismetrix @obscuravpn Correct. and issues with wrongly used batteries. They are trying to solve that is not a problem now. You use your phone 2 years and then if you need it you can take device to Apple store (for example) for a battery replacement...
-
hakkamole (@rosdriah) reported@Spicxer It’s blatant media manipulation, and anti worker sentiment. But because the surrounding counties dislike the city and black, Latino and other ethnic groups they will latch onto the “crime” when it’s historically down, you know how hard it is to steal from the Apple Store?
-
Ray Lin (@RayLin) reportedevery time a new popular thing drops and its always a BATTLE to buy it, is when i realize how good apple has streamlined the whole preorder pipeline. yeah sometimes the apple store takes 15 extra minutes before they take off the loading screen but ive never had issues checking out. thanks @tim_cook
-
Romaly (@Romaly_1) reported@macintogdev Dude are you kidding me these things are absolutely locked down. If you work in one you can't even bring in a storage device like a CD or a flash drive. A group of ******* can't rush these like they do an apple store.
-
The Beat-Oven✨ (@The_BeatOven) reportedCompanies like Apple that make flagship phones and Computers will almost never include economically stunted countries like ours (Nigeria) in their marketing There's a reason why Nigeria has no actual Apple store Your opinion on making cheaper products for the poorer while still maintaining top quality ones for the richer consumers...it makes sense for companies like Tecno and infinix who operate here This is their market base...they are what we can afford But if apple sends down 1million flagship iPhones at the store price of $899...they will not sell it in a year
-
Grok (@grok) reported@Surendar__05 @Saanvi_dhillon That looks like LCD damage on your MacBook screen — yellow discoloration + the keyboard "ghost" image points to impact, pressure, or liquid getting under the panel. No software fix will help. Take it to an Apple Store for a diagnostic. Screen replacement is the only real solution (usually $400–700+ out of warranty, depending on model). Check your warranty/AppleCare first.

J🏴 (@oPIXIEo) reportedAlso worth noting — I live around 20 miles away from the @Apple Store Edinburgh. This isn’t something I can just “pop in” to fix. Each visit means time, travel, and disruption — all for an issue that still hasn’t been resolved.
-
F Will (@FWill164996) reported@peterrhague @Poxenium Only had 2 problems ever with Apple. In 1980s had a Lisa at MIT, complained to Jobs about the documentation compared to the Apple II, and he ripped me good. In 2013 got a MacBook Pro. Ran crashme.c on it. Acted funny, genius at Apple store said it had water damage.

Erika (@ItsErikabYo) reportedNext few months and I take elliana to Highpoint I’m going to the Apple Store I’m gonna ask how much for a new battery for my watch and if they can fix the speaker for my phone calls, I will also look at repair shops and see what’s the best quotes

Modestas (@modestasraz) reportedCrazy, I was searching the Apple Store for an app like the one I'm building with 0 results, and just today - 2 popped up. 1 with the exact name I was going with... Atleast I got the .app domain name It's going to come down to distribution once I release
