  @VicVijayakumar You still have to pay full price for the replacement until the broken iPhone is shipped back. I think it’s more economical to go to an Apple Store and pay $99 for a swap.

  @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.

  Apple support has gone down the gutter. AppleCare+ doesn't help either. Waste of money My airpod pro 3 has a hardware defect where the right pod inner hardware starts to shuffle on long runs They denied my warranty claim because their 'test' didn't detect anything in a stationary environment I had an appt at the Apple Store scheduled but it took 30 mins to chat with someone. Another 30 minutes to chat with a manager All for them to say they can't help and that their test was rigorous enough to simulate my 'long run' use case. Sure I could've sworn that their Support used to be much better! Maybe it's location dependent

  @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.

  Thanks to @Apple slow *** resolving on Apple Store issues, I have missed a limited time purchase. Taking 3 whole business days to resolve a purchase out of registered Apple Storeregion issue in 2026. As if people can't migrate overseas while using the same store is insane.

  Just got an official Apple Store Keyboard with the fingerprint reader. The thing with Macbooks is that the moment you lose AppleCare for them and the keyboard breaks, there is ZERO way to fix said keyboard. (Hidden secret of Macbook keyboard explaining why in comments) So when at home use your peripherals you extend the life of your on-laptop keyboard when you obviously have to use it when traveling.

  It'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.

  My friend's iPhone 13 suddenly started malfunctioning At first, she thought the battery was simply draining too fast. But after a few days, it became clear that the problem was much more serious. The battery had started swelling, and the phone's body was beginning to bulge from the inside. The biggest surprise ? "The phone was completely out of warranty." No AppleCare. No extended coverage. Both of us assumed that replacing the battery would cost thousands of rupees. But what happened at the Apple Store in DLF Mall, Noida completely surprised us. The staff inspected the device and explained that a swollen battery is considered a safety hazard. A little later, they informed us that the battery would be replaced FREE of charge. We thought it might be some special discount or adjustment, but when the bill arrived, it showed "₹0.00" At a time when many companies shift the entire cost to customers once the warranty expires, receiving a free battery replacement for an out of warranty phone was genuinely unexpected. This experience taught us an important lesson If your phone's battery is swelling, the screen is lifting, or the body of the phone is starting to separate, don't ignore it. It's not just a device issue it can also be a serious safety risk. Sometimes, a company's true reputation isn't built through advertisements, but through the way it helps customers when they face unexpected problems.

  The Apple Store is a joke. Went in last week to replace my iPhone battery. They had to order the part. Waited ~10 days, then got told: “Come in within 2 days or we might give the battery to someone else.” Made an appointment for today. Waited, then the rep says they can’t do the repair because “the system we use to track repairs is down.” Me: “You have the part. You have my phone. But you can’t install it because the computer is down?” Poor guy — not his fault. But the geniuses running the Apple Store aren’t quite as smart as they like to pretend. This is NOT the future.

  After a 750 km road trip from home, our @cybertruck threw the PCS2_a094 error. Apparently it’s a well-known issue that disables all AC charging. The truck will only charge at a Supercharger. Tesla’s response? A repair appointment 3 weeks from now, and they actually tried to reassure me by saying Supercharging would be free. So I guess I’m supposed to waste an hour every few days driving 9 km to the nearest Supercharger, waiting for an 80% charge, then driving back home. That’s completely absurd. If this is a known failure, why isn’t there a recall? Why are owners expected to live with a vehicle that suddenly loses a core function? And the service experience keeps getting worse. Last time I drove to the Service Center, waited 3 hours, only to be told the tires they had ordered never arrived. I had to come back two weeks later. @Tesla seems to have very little respect for their customers’ time. The attitude is starting to remind me of those teenage Apple Store geniuses who ask whether you’ve installed the latest software update when your battery is physically dead. Love the truck. The service? It’s becoming harder and harder to defend.

  A student in the United States received a $3,000 university grant and spent the entire amount on five Mac Minis, not because he wanted a better study setup, and not because he was trying to impress anyone in his dorm, but because he was tired of waking up every morning and explaining his life to an AI that had forgotten everything by the next session. He did not use the money for textbooks, private tutoring, paid courses, or a new laptop like the university probably expected. He went to an Apple Store, bought five small machines, carried them back to his dorm room, numbered them from 1 to 5 with a black marker, stacked them on a cheap metal shelf beside his desk, connected a power meter to the wall, made instant noodles, and went to sleep while the machines began turning his room into something that looked less like student housing and more like a private AI lab built on scholarship money. His neighbors thought he was mining crypto, which made sense from the outside, because all they saw was a shelf full of computers running through the night, cables hanging behind the desk, a small fan pointed at the stack, and a student who suddenly cared too much about wattage. What they did not understand was that he was not trying to mine coins; he was trying to build a system that remembered his classes, his assignments, his codebase, his mistakes, his goals, and the product he was quietly building while everyone else was still treating AI like a smarter search bar. The problem he wanted to solve was simple but annoying enough to change everything. Every time he opened a new AI chat, he had to explain who he was, what he was studying, what project he was building, what the professor wanted, which parts of the codebase were broken, what he had already tried, what had failed, what he had learned the day before, and why the answer needed to fit his specific situation instead of sounding like generic advice from a model with no memory. He realized that the most valuable thing was not another chatbot, but a system that could keep context long enough to become useful. Each Mac Mini became responsible for a different part of his life. One machine processed his lecture notes and turned them into explanations he could actually understand. Another reviewed his assignments before submission and checked whether his arguments, code, and formatting matched the requirements. A third acted like a private tutor that questioned him until he could explain the material back clearly. A fourth wrote, tested, and refactored code for the product he was building outside class. The fifth coordinated the whole system, kept the rules updated, stored the context, and decided which task needed to run next while he was sleeping. There was no development team behind it, no manager assigning tickets, no daily standup, no productivity consultant, and no university department guiding the experiment. There was only a rules file, five machines on a dorm shelf, and a student who understood that local AI became much more valuable once it stopped being a conversation and started behaving like infrastructure. The university had given him money for education, but he used it to build an education system that did not forget him. That was the part most people missed when they saw the setup. The point was not only that the machines were powerful enough to run useful models locally; the point was that they belonged to him, which meant his lecture notes, unfinished code, business ideas, exam prep, personal mistakes, drafts, and prompts stayed in his room instead of being uploaded into somebody else’s cloud dashboard under somebody else’s terms of service. During the day, he still went to class like everyone else, listened to lectures, submitted assignments, and looked like a normal student trying to get through the semester. At night, the system summarized readings, found gaps in his understanding, generated practice questions, cleaned up code, tested features, wrote documentation, and moved his side project forward without needing him to sit there and manually push every step. When he woke up, he was not starting from zero like everyone else opening a blank chat window. He was starting from wherever the machines had stopped. At first, people in the dorm laughed at the shelf with the numbered Mac Minis because it looked excessive, strange, and slightly ridiculous for a student room. Then they started asking him to summarize lectures they had missed. After that, they asked whether it could help them prepare for exams, review essays, explain technical concepts, debug projects, and remember the context of their classes without forcing them to rewrite the same background information every time they needed help. That was when the private study system became a product. He packaged smaller versions of the setup for other students, not as a replacement university and not as another generic AI wrapper, but as a memory layer for people who were tired of using tools that forgot them every morning. It became private study agents, class note summarizers, exam preparation bots, coding copilots, and project assistants that remembered the user’s material, progress, weaknesses, and deadlines. The grant was $3,000, the machines cost less to run than most monthly subscriptions, and the first paying users came from the same dorm that had originally joked he was mining crypto. What started as a way to survive his own semester turned into a product other students were willing to pay for, because it solved the problem they had all accepted as normal. Now the system makes around $45,000 a month, and the strangest part is that none of it began as a startup pitch. It began as a student using university money to stop repeating himself to a machine. The university thought it was funding his education. What it actually funded was the infrastructure he used to rebuild it.

  @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.
