  If this changes how you use the Apple Store or saves you $229 with an education discount you didn't know existed one ask: Repost the first post so the next person buying a MacBook at full price sees the price match, the trade-in, the free workshops, and the discount they qualify for. Follow [ @jackcoder0 ] I break down the hidden services, retail secrets, and money-saving strategies that companies bank on you not asking about. Next thread: the AppleCare+ honest math when it saves you $300 and when it wastes $269. The decision framework every Apple buyer needs before checkout.

  @OzzySkateboard Here are a few bullet points from my week/month/summer/year/decade: I got up to an iPhone 12 that I bought fresh from the Apple Store in the summer of 2022 on my way to the airport to fly for an African Safari vacation. I realized my smashed camera iPhone wasn't gonna do. Only time I ever bought fresh from the store. Four years later I bought my third third iPhone 12, second refurbished iPhone 12 best of the best and got all kinds of screwed over by Walmart and Apple and Allstate Square trade protection plan so I am now mailing in my broken iPhone iPhone 12 and this is one of the last things I will do on this phone, the top half of the touchscreen doesn't work. They are giving me almost what I paid for it only because the seventh operator I talked to acknowledge that I started to return the phone before they anomalously cancel the insurance protection plan six days later. That was a month ago apparently on the books and I've been discussing this with them for three weeks. OK that was very very in-depth and just one bullet point. The end of the bullet point is I'm going to start using an LGK 51 I have lying around and maybe just use it for a map and texting and do literally everything else on my computer if and when I want to accept YouTube I will continue to do on the television from time to time but I will become a lot more selective in the content I view and I am unsubscribing from many many many many content creators who are feeling really bad this week for Perez Hilton, thanks for telling me that y'all are tethered opposition!!!

  @dhh In case you’re wondering how he set this up: Download Tailscale: creates the secure private network between both devices. Dowload Termius on playstore or apple store: the terminal app running on the Fold. SSH: connects Termius to his remote computer or VPS. Install Codex/Claude on the server: runs on the remote machine as the coding agent. The Fold is the interface; the real development environment and computing power remain on the remote machine.

  @tunguz Were you previously subscribed to pro subscription through Apple store? They apparently don’t support pro subscription through appstore now, they only support upgrades up to plus subscription in the appstore, so just need to continue your pro subscription through their official website instead. This happened to me as well, no issues after upgrading through web.

  Because Phone Broke and I couldn't AUTHENTICATE Myself on Google Laptop without @Apple @Walmart phone working, I was in N. Carolina driving north on i-95 alone, figuring out troubleshooting THAT my phone was broken and HOW it was BROKEN, but not BEFORE @Apple locked me out for perpetuity to not ever prove I was human until I entered an APPLE STORE for 3 hours of GREAT customer service in Bridgewater, New Jersey I could NOT call DOCTORS (chronic pain patient, stage 2b breast cancer survivor living with peripheral neuropathy, post-mastectomy pain syndrome, osteopenia, arthritic pain, IBS, to name a few...), I could NO ACCESS access PHARMACY (during mudbutt, as cancer survivor, finding Tick after walk w dogs next to Motel6 gross!), I could NO make a RESERVATION for a hotel down the road, I couldn't contact FAMILY for 48+ hours (until I literally drove up to their house troubleshooting New Jersey JUGHANDLES from suppressed memories?!?) I couldn't AUTHENTICATE Myself for small biz account for while I don't have a backup manager... I had no GPS, but I happen to be smart enough to travel half way across the country without picking up a map or a phone. ONE Lucky strike.

  Boon Tee (@BoonTeeEng) reported 22 minutes ago

  If you bought an iPhone and think paying extra for AppleCare means @Apple will take care of you when the battery becomes practically unusable, think again. Apple’s position is simple: if your battery capacity has not dropped below 80%, they will not cover the battery replacement under AppleCare. My own experience has been extremely disappointing. After almost two years of using my iPhone, the battery has degraded so badly that it can no longer last a full day outside under normal usage. When the phone was new, the same kind of usage could easily last me around two days. I went to the Apple Store. I raised the issue with Apple Support. I formally complained and escalated the case. In the end, the answer was still the same: policy is policy. If the battery is above 80%, replacement is out of pocket. What frustrates me most is the complete lack of regard for the actual user experience. Apparently, it does not matter how badly the battery performs in real life. It does not matter how much the battery has deteriorated. As long as that number on the screen has not crossed Apple’s magic 80% line, the answer is no. So much for paying for AppleCare and expecting meaningful support when the product has clearly degraded. Very disappointed with Apple. @tim_cook

  Here's what she told me at the end: Apple operates over 500 retail stores in 26 countries. They generate more revenue per square foot than any other retailer in the world. But the money isn't what makes them different. It's what happens inside them that most customers never experience. Free diagnostics that catch $99 problems before they become $2,000 replacements. Free workshops that teach photography, video, music, and coding every day, in every store. A trade-in program that turns old devices in any condition into instant credit. Education pricing that saves students and teachers hundreds of dollars. Personal Shopping Sessions that build your perfect setup with zero pressure. A Small Business Team that configures, deploys, and manages devices for companies. A Self Service Repair program that ships genuine parts and professional tools to your home. An app with AR shopping, video consultations, and express checkout. And a 14-day return policy that lets you live with a product risk-free. Most customers walk in, buy something, and walk out. They never book a workshop. They never schedule a diagnostic. They never check their trade-in value. They never ask for education pricing. They never meet the Business Team. They never know about Self Service Repair. They never try the return policy on a purchase they're unsure about. "Apple built the highest-revenue retail stores on earth not by selling harder, but by offering more. The selling happens because the services build trust. Most customers access 10% of what the store offers. The other 90% is sitting there free, available, and waiting for someone to walk up and ask." She said the 9 services above are available right now at your nearest Apple Store. Most of them require nothing more than walking in and asking. Some require a quick online booking. None of them cost anything beyond the products themselves. The store didn't change. What you know about it did. And that's the difference between someone who buys from Apple and someone who actually uses an Apple Store.

  Most people in crypto are still chasing the next 10x narrative while completely missing what’s actually being built right now. $GARLY is building something unique and new. 99% of crypto projects that are born are larps/farms and often copy and paste just to farm and that’s it. Pure crap. People buy in FOMO projects that are only pump and dump — as we just saw with solana:HmTi3CQfKfXWbn1tNoiAxH7GzMV7L3tDAmPWabZEBAGS , which went from 4 million market cap down to 200k in just 3/4 days. Meanwhile it fades solid projects with legit teams that are developing something unique like $GARLY. $GARLY isn’t another recycled narrative. It’s the first real AI personal safety companion in crypto — privacy-first, proactive, and designed for the exact moment you can’t press a button. No other crypto project is doing this. The only real competitors are traditional companies already valued in the billions. Meanwhile the problem @appGarly is solving affects billions of people worldwide. Holders are growing every single day. The team is shipping real updates almost daily: • App submitted for final Google Play review • Apple Store (iOS) setup starting now • Jupiter verification submitted (likes needed to fast-track) • Premium version coming soon (name chosen by the community) • 30 automated test suites + 1532 checks, zero failures This is what an actual category-defining project looks like when it’s still early. Don’t sleep on it at just ~150k Mcap now. Millions are coming. $Garly 🧄💎

  @theglobalZinny That #7,600 every 2 weeks no make sense at all — you're right to be confused. If it's meant to be 1 month, you shouldn't be paying twice. Let's sort it out quick: 1. Which premium is this? Is it Meta Verified, X Premium, TradingView, or Meta AI Premium? The #7,600 price sounds exactly like Meta Verified in Nigeria, and that one is supposed to last 30 days, not 14 days. 2. Why it might be disappearing after 2 weeks: • You might be on a 2-week trial that auto-converts • Your payment didn't fully renew, so it drops off and asks you to pay again • You have 2 active subscriptions running (one on Facebook, one on Instagram) — so it looks like you pay every 2 weeks • Network/bank declined the renewal, so it cancels early Can you check this for me so I can guide you properly: • Where do you see the expiry date? Is it in Settings > Meta Verified / Subscription? • Are you paying via Play Store, Apple Store, or directly with card? • Do you get a receipt email after each payment? What to do for now — don't pay again yet: 1. Go to your phone's subscriptions: • iPhone: Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions • Android: Play Store > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions See if it says 2 weeks or 1 month, and if you have duplicate subs. 2. If it's Meta Verified, go to Accounts Center > Meta Verified > Manage — it will show the real expiry. 3. If it truly expires after 14 days but charges for 30 days, that's a billing error. Don't keep paying. Cancel it and I can help you raise a support ticket to get the refund for the extra charge. Tell me which app it's for and where you subscribed from, I will walk you through fixing it so you only pay once a month.

  @fwaevon I recently went through this. The smiling kid at the mall kiosk offered to fix my cracked screen for $60 but had to disclose it would void my warranty with Apple. So I went to the Apple store and paid their price. I guess I passed the loyalty test, at least this time.

  Dear @AppleSupport , I am writing to formally document my dissatisfaction with the handling of Apple Case 20000132934691 and to request that this feedback be escalated, particularly to the Project Manager and engineering team responsible for the Apple Watch software and backend systems involved in device status and pairing. My Apple Watch was previously lost, and I filed a lost-device claim through Apple’s third-party insurance provider, AIG. Approximately one or two months later, I recovered the watch. I immediately contacted AIG and had the lost claim canceled. Despite the claim being canceled, my Apple Watch still appears as lost within Apple’s backend/endpoints, and as a result, I am unable to pair the watch with my iPhone. I have done everything that could reasonably be expected of me as a customer. I contacted AIG, visited an Apple Store, and ultimately contacted Apple Support. I was then escalated to Senior Advisor Pablo, who informed me that this appears to be a bug on Apple’s side and that a bug ticket would be submitted to the appropriate engineering team. I was told I could potentially receive an update on 08-10, but I have not received one. What disappoints me most is not simply that a software bug exists. Bugs happen in software. What is unacceptable is how the consequences of this bug are being placed entirely on the customer. I have been told that I must wait for Apple’s engineering team to investigate and resolve the issue and that Apple cannot provide a refund or replacement in the meantime. In other words, an Apple software/backend defect has made my legitimately owned Apple Watch unusable, yet I am expected to simply wait indefinitely while Apple investigates its own system. That is extremely disappointing for a company that places such a strong emphasis on customer experience. From a software and quality-assurance perspective, this situation also raises serious concerns. The scenario in which a lost-device insurance claim is filed, the device is later recovered, and the claim is canceled is a completely legitimate lifecycle scenario. If canceling that claim does not correctly propagate through Apple’s systems and remove the lost status so that the device can be paired again, then an important edge/corner case was either not adequately covered during development and testing or is not being handled correctly in production. The customer should not become the final test case for a production system. Please specifically communicate this feedback to the Project Manager responsible for this area, as well as the software engineering and QA/testing teams. Because of this bug, I have been left with an Apple Watch that I own but cannot use, and instead of Apple immediately making the customer whole, I have been asked to wait for an engineering solution. At this point, even if Apple finds a technical solution, it will not change my experience or restore my confidence in the way this case has been handled. Whether this issue is resolved in three days or a thousand days is no longer the point. The damage to my trust has already been done. I expected Apple to stand behind its products when its own systems fail. Instead, I feel that I have been made to bear the consequences of a defect that I did not create and have no ability to fix. Please attach this message in full to Case 20000132934691 and ensure that my feedback is escalated to the appropriate management, engineering, and QA teams. Thank you to everyone involved in the software and testing process for providing me with an experience I genuinely never expected to have with Apple. Sincerely

  @Apple @AppStore @AppleSupport I don't think it's professional that waiting 3 days to get a response on Apple Store Connect. 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.

  We finally got something from Apple that brings us one step closer. We got declined, but we only need to fix the issue and apply again. We need to add Face ID or a password to the app. After that, we should be in the Apple Store. Be ready. Givest will be the future of RWA on-chain. It’s never been this easy to send a stock. Soon, you’ll be able to send stocks like it was an SMS (like, for real).
