  @ashleyeleanor I went to the Apple Store with a different photo issue I had for weeks and the Gen Z Genius Bar kid solved my (very easy) issue in 2 seconds. Real let’s-get-you-to-bed-grandma moment. However maybe going to a store could help?

  Anybody else having trouble with their Apple phones?. mine stopped recognizing me, and the only way to repair it is to drive two hours to the city to an Apple Store ! I guess it’s time to order a new phone! I’m not spending $1.82 a liter to drive two hours

  @wholemars My iPhone 17 PM was faulty and I literally asked Apple if they could fix the device without giving me a new one. They tried their best and failed. I sat in the Apple Store for 4+ hours setting up the replacement phone.

  @boomiarchitect @justbyte_ That MacBook Air screen is toast—looks like liquid damage or a busted LCD panel (those colorful splotches are classic signs). Hardware failure, so no software fix. Restart/SMC/PRAM reset won't help. Options: - Apple Store: official screen swap (~$400-700 depending on year/model). - Authorized repair or reputable shop for cheaper parts. Backup data first if it still boots. What's the model/year?

  Next 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

  This morning my iPhone 17 Pro Max went dark. Thanks to staff at the @Apple store in Beechwood, Ohio I was able to trouble shoot the problem and didn’t have to get another phone.

  @josephmiclaus You can generate self-signed certificate and sign the code with it. Not an issue. Users might see some warnings (which isn't the best UX) - also uploading to Apple Store is immediate reject without this license certificate.

  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...

  @Kuro17951 @rachael18536941 @PeriklesGREAT They would need to visit a specialist in neo-vaginas. Perhaps whoever created it. You can't take a Samsung into an Apple Store and expect them to fix it.

  You have no clue what you are talking about, moron. Take some time out @AlexErrera2 . Go for a walk down to the local shopping mall. Find a shop called "Prestige **** Accessories", it will be next to the Apple store, or not. Go in and ask for a "super small jack off the crumb" self-pleasure, base model - you don't want the luxury model because that will be too expensive for you. Now, go to the chemist, or Priceline, whichever you prefer, and buy some KY jelly. You can actually get it at Woolworths, but it won't be any cheaper there, just so you know. Then walk all the way back home, like a complete ****, because you can't afford an Uber. When you get home, get a picture of Pauline Hanson, go to the bedroom, and do whatever ******** you like. We don't care what you do, and we don't want to know what you do, but you will have a "super small jack off the crumb" self-pleasure, base model" so you can ******* work it out from there. You dumb ****. Off you go. Walk.

  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)

  iPhone keeps freezing after restarting. Won't allow me to input passcode to start phone after turning it on. Wondering if I should go to Apple store. They want me to buy storage. I'm protesting. Hate when this happens. Battery at 100% now I need to let battery drain to shut down.

  @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.

  Companies 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
