  7. As a further courtesy, I'll give you one week from tomorrow (Which will be 5/8/26) to issue a refund to me and properly label the items in your app's store. After that, I will report the violating lootbox mechanics on both the Play store and the Apple store. 8/8

  I’m here at an Apple Store at the Genius Bar table where customers sit awaiting for a tech to come and solve the customers problem. Steve Jobs literally created a product that has every single walk of life at this table in a temporary space of unity. God bless that man💯

  @Kate__KC @Sassafrass_84 @PigWar You are right about that. My son used to work at the Apple store fixing people's phones and iPads. He would talk about how easily they are broken, but then run out as soon as the new one hits the market and buy it. I hate to admit it, but I had my Blackberry until I was required to get my emails on my phone. I went out and got a Galaxy S4. Kept that for over 11 years.

  @joshuafirimajnr Hi Joshua, Grey Visa cards work with Apple Pay. To avoid issues, please make sure your Apple Store region is set to the U.S. If it still doesn’t work, send us a DM so we can look into it and help you sort it out. -T.O

  @Absorbantsy That’s what happened to my first one :( the current one connects to my neighbours iPad just fine, just not mine for some dumb reason. I don’t live near any Apple Store so I’m relying on phone support and it’s been painfully slow 😭 slowly resenting apple tbh

  @VodafoneIdeaIN Total #incompetent people at Vi store at New BEL Road and technology team - I am without network since 29th April at my location. Today they are saying it’s your phone problem, check with apple store. Just then I’m using my phone with d sim to tweet this @BELroad

  I’m loving all the animal accounts. It’s a much needed laugh in a day where I spent most of the afternoon in the Apple Store going through Password Hell. And it wasn’t even MY problem. Long, dumb story.

  MacBook 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...

  Terrible experience at TRX’s Apple Store. Was minding my own business with my 14 year old walking in front of me when a staff said “make sure your child doesn’t press the glass”. Doesn’t seem like their store and company is too child friendly. Taking my money elsewhere.

  Really disappointed with my experience at the #Apple Store Edinburgh over the past month. I’ve had to visit multiple times for an ongoing charging issue with a 4-month-old iPad A16.

  @heyjames01 No, not yet. Your 2023 iPhone (likely 15 series) is only ~2.5 years old with a normal 77% capacity after 1225 cycles. Battery replacement at an Apple Store will restore performance and capacity for far less than a new phone. Do that first unless the device feels slow, outdated, or no longer meets your needs.

  Going to the Apple Store for this broke iPhone 17 pro camera. Idk if it’s a LiDAR issue but you can see the low fidelity of zooming all the way in…it’s not switching to the 4x lens but just digital zooming completely on the 1x lens. Sometimes the 1x lens will not focus when the 4x does.

  every 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

  @PhoenixCharts @Schmavid1 @NortonMpls It must be comforting to confidently write a daily fanfiction about how the biggest issues just so happen to be the handful of things you're already mad about. Yes babygirl, rioters burned down the Apple Store but not until after we'd decided to leave Amazing Thailand untorched.

  DREAM:wanted to have Sheldon cooper as my wallpaper and downloaded a virus and for some reason I had a rich guy that followed me around I said “hey can we go to the Apple Store” and he completely ignored me and we went to a prison to bail someone out instead so I had to fix my phone myself anyways my *** is going back to bed 😭

  @Sassafrass_84 @PigWar With Android some versions, you can rollback if need be, with Apple, they own everything on it, apps, etc. If Iphone crashes, you csn't roll bsck to previous version, you either wait for a software update, fix, or Apple Store.

  You can walk into any Apple Store in America, buy $50,000 in MacBooks and iPhones on 0% business credit cards, and resell every single item for 85 to 95% of retail on eBay, Swappa, and Facebook Marketplace the same day. Cash in your bank account by Friday This is how people convert 0% credit limits into liquid cash without Plastiq, without Melio, and without paying a 2.85% processing fee The Apple Store accepts credit cards for purchases up to $50,000. No questions. No ID beyond what's needed for Apple Pay. You walk in, buy 8 MacBook Pros at $2,499 each, and walk out with $19,992 on your Chase Ink Business Unlimited at 0% APR List them on eBay as "Brand New Sealed" at $2,199 each. They sell in 24 to 48 hours because sealed Apple products have the highest resale velocity of any consumer electronics on earth. People buy them because they're getting a $300 discount on a product that never goes on sale $2,199 x 8 = $17,592 in eBay revenue eBay + PayPal fees (13%): -$2,287 Your net cash received: $15,305 You spent $19,992 on a credit card. You got $15,305 in cash. You "lost" $4,687 "That's a terrible deal" No. You converted $19,992 in credit into $15,305 in LIQUID CASH at a cost of $4,687. That's a 23.5% conversion fee Plastiq charges 2.85% but has a $100K annual limit and many payees are restricted. Melio charges 2.85% but some payments take 5 to 7 days and large amounts trigger manual review The Apple resale method has: No annual limit (buy as much as they'll sell you) No payment restrictions (it's a retail purchase) No manual review (it's a credit card transaction at a store) Cash in your bank within 3 to 5 days (eBay payouts are fast) And you can improve the conversion rate dramatically: iPhones resell at 92 to 96% of retail (better than MacBooks). A $1,199 iPhone 16 Pro Max sells for $1,050 to $1,100 on Swappa within 48 hours. That's only a 5 to 8% loss after fees iPads resell at 88 to 93% of retail AirPods Max resell at 85 to 90% Apple Watches resell at 82 to 88% The optimal mix for maximum cash extraction: $30,000 in iPhone 16 Pro Max units (25 phones at $1,199): resell at $1,080 avg = $27,000 - 13% fees = $23,490 net. Loss: $6,510 (21.7%) $20,000 in iPad Pro units (10 iPads at $1,999): resell at $1,799 avg = $17,990 - 13% fees = $15,651 net. Loss: $4,349 (21.7%) Total credit card spend: $50,000 Total cash received: $39,141 Conversion rate: 78.3% Effective "fee": 21.7% "21.7% is way worse than Plastiq's 2.85%" Yes. If Plastiq works for your use case, use Plastiq. The Apple method is for when you need: More than $100K liquidated (Plastiq has limits) Cash in 3 days not 7 No paper trail linking credit cards to bank deposits through a payment processor (the cash appears as eBay/PayPal revenue, not as a Plastiq transfer) Amounts above $25K per transaction (Melio flags large single payments) The people doing this at scale aren't converting $50K. They're converting $200K to $500K across multiple Apple Stores, Best Buys, Costcos, and authorized resellers. At that volume they have eBay stores with Top Rated Seller status, which reduces fees to 10.5% and pushes the conversion rate to 82 to 85% There's also the Amazon Retail Arbitrage version: buy Apple products at retail, sell on Amazon as a third-party seller, Amazon pays out every 2 weeks. The conversion rate is similar but Amazon's customer base is willing to pay closer to retail for the Prime badge and the Amazon return policy A guy in our network converts $80K to $100K per month from credit cards to cash using this exact method across Apple, Costco, and Best Buy. His blended conversion rate after eBay fees and marketplace fees: 81%. He converts $100K in credit into $81K in cash every month $81K in cash from $100K in 0% credit. His "cost" of $19K per cycle is his equivalent of a processing fee. He treats it as a cost of capital. $19K to access $81K in free cash for 15 months = effective annualized cost of 18.6% "18.6% is expensive" Compared to what? An MCA (merchant cash advance) charges 40 to 150% effective APR A hard money loan charges 12 to 18% + 2 to 3 points A personal loan at 680 score charges 15 to 24% APR A credit card balance at standard APR: 24.99% 18.6% annualized for UNSECURED CASH with NO APPLICATION PROCESS, NO UNDERWRITING, and NO REPAYMENT SCHEDULE beyond minimums at 0% for 15 months is cheaper than almost every alternative source of liquid capital for someone without assets to collateralize And the credit card rewards on $100K in Apple Store purchases: roughly $2,000 to $3,000 in points. That drops the effective cost to 15.6 to 16.6% btw the IRS doesn't track retail purchases on credit cards. The purchase shows up as "APPLE STORE #R123" on your credit card statement. The eBay revenue shows up as income from your eBay seller account. If your LLC is the eBay seller, the purchase is a "business inventory expense" and the revenue is "product sales." The accounting is clean this is the emergency version of the liquidation play. when you need cash in 72 hours, can't wait for Plastiq, and need more than $25K. you walk into Apple, buy everything they'll sell you, walk out, list it on eBay, and have cash in your bank by Friday. the most liquid asset in America isn't gold or bitcoin. it's a sealed iPhone lmfaooo (we get 700+ score business owners $100K-$250K in 0% business funding. how you liquidate is your business. we build the capital stack. link in bio)
