  I got just about every single new iPhone release since 1.0. I even stood in line 5+ hours a couple of times at the flagship Palo Alto store. Missed the sporadic Steve appearances, though. RIP. One time, I stood there all day for the release of iPhone 4. That's the one where it was glass, front and back. That very night, we were walking back from a restaurant, and I fumbled and dropped it. Shattered. Next day, I go to a different Apple Store, one nearby. They asked me, "how long did you stand in line?" 6 hours, I say. They took extreme pity on me and replaced it with a new one. No charge. Other times, they have done similarly, like when a battery crapped out, and they exchanged it with a refurb. Another time, I jumped in the pool with my X (10.0) and it crapped out from water. Replaced for free. Apple has been exceedingly good to me as a great company. My MacBooks last 8+ years, never a single problem. I replace them simply because it's "time." iPhone 10 (X) was the last one I purchased. See, since about #7, the camera was already better than I could hope for. Met all my needs, and it was a huge step forward in low-light photography. Then with every new release, it seemed to focus (har har) on the camera. Like a huge percentage of the release shindig was about the camera. No other huge developments. By this time, 95% of owners are only going to use the excellent point-and-shoot capabilities. So, in 2020, a few months after moving to Thailand, I asked myself, why am I carrying around a $1,300 phone when I can get everything I need for about $350 (10,000 baht)? So I did. Got a Samsung first, two replacements for the same price point since then, different brands. My latest is a Vivo. I'm sure the 4x more expensive iPhone does better photos, if i were to bother to geek out on that. But I'm fine. And if i break my phone, lose it, or it gets stolen, it's not a panic event. Oh, well, time for a new one.

  Apple is not doing well at all, what the actual hell? Bought three MacBook Airs a week ago for my team members and almost forgot about it. Why did we unbox them like a kid on Christmas day, only to discover that two of them straight up had NO power adapters in the box. Just the laptop sitting there looking pretty and completely useless. I called the supplier and he's telling me two must be EU/UK and they don't ship with chargers, only US ship with adapters. Werey even sent me bill for two chargers immediately. What is all the nonsense “in the name of compliance” or whatever eco-friendly PR stunt? Where exactly do you expect me to magically pull chargers from @AppleSupport ? Thin air? The nearest Apple Store at 2 a.m.? Or My neighbor’s junk drawer? This is such a **** move. Paying full price for three machines and you’re making me run around hunting for bricks like it’s 2010. Ship every ******* box with adapter or fix your packaging and least slap a warning on the box. Ridiculous.

  @bunburyoudoujp Yea im american, and i was raised there and in japan. Wheres the problem. I downloaded x on an american iphone that i bought in america and took the phone to japan, why would i make another apple account? you cant merge them, are you daft? Lose 15 years of movies, apps and music just to have a japanese iphone? there is literally no point. Or did you not also know that if i had purchased an iphone at the shinjuku apple store last month, id still be logging into my american account ive had for 25 years which would open the North American app store because thats where my bank is based, and it would say... connected via north american app store. And since I have netflix and multiple other american services i need a... vpn connected to america, so making this account isnt very hard when you have 2 phone numbers 2 banks and a vpn and and iphone from japan or america LMFAO. Yawl dont even know that that feature was just put there to confuse you idiots evenmore, lull you into a false sense of security that you know who youre talking to. Make you think theres transparency here and you arent talking to some op. Anyways lol "I HAVE PR" stomp stomp stomp. congrats, your fees are still up there and it still has to be renewed which allllllllways means you could be on the chopping block each and every year. And with the way things are going, maybe next year. You didnt naturalize, you made the poor choice of going PR. Youre vulnerable

  @SusanDReynolds Need a cop? All you need to find is an Apple Store and there will be at least one cop out front courtesy of Apple,,, no Apple Store nearby, if you’re a sailor, no- your assailant has a gun be absolutely sure to mention that to the police when you call, it makes a difference. During those 20 years, we were consistently the only house on the entire block to display lights out front at Halloween and Christmas. We gave out a **** ton of candy. I saw some guys Tazed out my living room window , once my wife saw a stabbing across the street where, after the cops showed up, everyone left OK. five police in riot gear with ARs arrested a guy down the street, in his apartment . I was mugged a block away, identified who did it. The cops assured me that the bad weekend he was about to have was probably going to be the only punishment he got and they were right thanks. I watched thousands of dollars of groceries walk out the Safeway door at seventh and Cabrillo. My fondest memory was watching a Young partier with crazy hair run out the front door with a 12 pack and a chicken and hop on his skateboard which he had deftly positioned across the street. He was down to Balboa, dragging the tail to maintain his speed it was quite awesome.

  Today wasn’t a good day. I was already dealing with a lot and on top of everything, it was August 15th a date that carries so much pain for so many of us. Later there was an issue with my phone and I had to leave it at the Apple Store for about four hours .So I found a quiet corner and started reading with no phone I ended up reading for hours, until I fell asleep. When I woke up, I genuinely felt like a completely different person. And that’s when it hit me. Something as simple as reading, learning, escaping into a book, and understanding the words in front of you is a privilege that millions of Afghan girls have been denied for five years. Now imagine being told you cannot learn. That you don’t have the right to read or write. You might think, who would be crazy enough to say that? But yes this is the reality for girls and women in Afghanistan in 2026. Five years later, they are still being denied one of the most basic human rights: the right to learn.

  I just poured juice into my MacBook. It wasn't a lot, but enough to worry. Dried off, tent mode. You know what's really annoying about modern MacBooks? They turn on after the slightest touch of any key. The power button is touch-sensitive (no physical "push" needed). The thing turned on 6 times on the way home. Local shop in Bangkok won't fix it (it voids warranty). Not enough time for bringing it to the Apple Store (I leave in 3 days). There's an authorized shop in Da Nang, but it takes ~3 weeks (according to reviews). I leave after 2.5. After that I'm in Korea. No issue there, but it's 3 weeks after the incident. Apparently juice is the worst (corrosion). I always drink black coffee ... the one day I don't 😣 The upside: I have AppleCare+. It's covered no matter how far the corrosion proceeds, and what breaks. Also, I have my old MacBook Air. I can keep working. Kind of weird timing after my recent posts (see quoted). It'll be fine, but damn it's stressful. It's nice to be able to scream "liquid on keyboard, new branch, push everything, quick" at your agents. They really did hurry. Now I can continue working. </life-update>

  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 🧄💎

  A woman worked as an Apple Store employee for 6 years first as a Specialist on the sales floor, then as a Genius at the Genius Bar, then as a Creative leading workshops. She's helped over 20,000 customers. She said the same pattern played out every single day: a customer would walk in, buy a product, and leave. Or they'd come in with a problem, get it fixed, and leave. That was the entire interaction. In and out. "The Apple Store has free workshops that teach you photography, video editing, music production, and coding taught by trained professionals on the equipment you already own. It has a Genius Bar that runs free diagnostics, replaces batteries same-day, and fixes screens in an hour. It has a trade-in program that gives you instant credit toward a new device for phones, tablets, laptops, and watches in any condition, even broken ones. It has education pricing that saves students hundreds of dollars. It has a small business team that most business owners have never heard of. It has personal shopping appointments where a specialist builds your entire setup with you. And it has a Self Service Repair program that ships you the exact same tools Apple's own technicians use. Most customers walk in, buy AirPods, and walk out. They're treating a technology learning center like a vending machine." She said Apple Stores are the highest-revenue retail spaces per square foot in the world not because they sell expensive products, but because most customers never discover the 9 services that would make them come back every month. Here are the 9 things she wishes every Apple customer knew:

  6. Free data transfer and setup the service most buyers decline and then struggle alone. When you buy a new iPhone, iPad, or Mac at the Apple Store: the staff will transfer your data from your old device, set up the new one, and walk you through the key features. Free. Most customers say "no thanks, I'll set it up at home" then spend 3 hours figuring out data transfer, re-downloading apps, re-entering passwords, and troubleshooting iCloud sync issues. The Apple Store setup takes 20-30 minutes. They do it while you browse. They transfer contacts, photos, apps, and settings from your old device. They pair your Apple Watch. They configure Face ID. They verify iCloud backup. For seniors and less tech-savvy buyers: the in-store setup eliminates the most frustrating part of a new device. You walk in with an old phone. You walk out with a new phone fully set up, fully loaded, fully working. For Mac buyers: the staff transfers files, settings, and applications from your old Mac to the new one using Migration Assistant. Everything transfers. Even your desktop wallpaper.

  @UU_Ess_Pee @deandunham I haven’t yet had a problem. But it is misleading. Even if you buy a film on the Apple Store, it says ‘buy’. Unfortunately it’s a consumer misconception that the hand over of payment for a digital item is yours. When ‘digital’ is concerned, it’s not.

  @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.

  @Sweetly_Shar @DemzDeliver Incorrect. When in poverty, you don't go to an Apple store and start stealing ****. You go for food. I've been homeless for 3 years in my life, homeless. I never stole, never needed to and neither does a single other person in this country. Every single one of them can very easily get help when and if needed. Doing otherwise is a CHOICE, a terrible one too. No, they steal and break into places to steal the most expensive **** they can so they can sell it online for drug money, clothes to make themselves look rich, or to buy things they don't NEED because they feel it's owed to them. There's a sickness with those cultures and it stems in self entitlement. Also affordability...in NYC? LMAO hahahahaha oh that has been in the gutter since that man took power, even before him it was bad, but it's worse now. Also you don't know the term Bum. I work for everything I get...as a ******* MUTE. I put in all the work myself and work hard, unlike thieves and ****** people who think everything should be given to them.
