  Maybe this wouldn’t be such a problem if your Tardis didn’t look like a damn Apple Store

  @pnj777 @karanaggarwal86 @Apple I can purchase it online, it will get delivered to me sealed! I bought one from Apple Store, no such issue! Unicorn store, wants to make more money! The moment I was asked to buy a cover, as mandatory purchase I walked out!

  I feel like buying directly from the Apple Store gives you a better chance of getting a top-quality device. All my iPhones have been carted straight from the Apple Store, and my iPhone 15 and 17 are still at 100% battery health. Even my iPhone 11, which I’ve been using since 2019, is only down to 86% battery health.

  @ramcharger22 My wife and were having security issues that might’ve involved her phone. Went to the Apple Store & they checked it out, no problem. Also told us that there is no real difference between a 13 - 17. If it’s working fine no need to change.

  @cmsj @aidler @ivanfioravanti Bcs of a person has bought iPhone and cannot afford to buy a new smartphone less than 4 or more 5 years after, this person should be protected. For example apple store is a rediculous issue. It was forcing small companies or even individuals to pay big tax to apple for no reason

  1/ Parents, we don’t have to choose between protecting our kids and protecting our privacy. Unrestricted smartphones should be treated like alcohol: 21 and older only. Nothing changes for adults. 2/ Here’s the part no one talks about: I cannot protect my child from what’s on their classmate’s phone. One unrestricted device and the whole group has access to the full adult internet. That’s the real problem we need to solve.3/ Privacy is the line between a person and a possession. A slave was property because someone else claimed the right to watch, record, control, permit, and deny his life. A free person requires privacy.4/ Some people say “if a liquor store can check an ID, so can the Apple Store.” That sounds simple… but it’s not the same thing. A liquor store checks you once, in person, for one item. Turning every app, website, and device into a permanent ID checkpoint creates a surveillance system for adults. That’s not protection — that’s control.5/ We all agree kids shouldn’t have unrestricted access to pornography, gambling, addictive feeds, and strangers. The easy fix is right in front of us: Stop handing children unrestricted adult-grade devices by default.6/ Make youth-safe electronics the standard for anyone under 21 — unless a parent is directly supervising. If a company wants its phone, app, or operating system in a child’s life, it should prove it belongs there. Adults keep buying and using whatever they want. No digital ID. No face scans. No adult internet passport.7/ This protects kids at the device level before they ever reach the adult internet. It keeps adults completely free. Privacy for grown-ups. Safety for kids. We can have both.8/ Parents — does this make sense? Drop a 🔥 if you agree we should protect children without forcing every adult to surrender their privacy. What’s the one thing that worries you most about kids and phones right now?

  I bought a set of AirPods Pro from Laptops Direct about a year ago. I have a problem with the left AirPod charging, and I went to an Apple Store to have them look at it today. Astonishingly, I discovered at the Apple Store that the serial number is tied to a date of purchase from 2024 in a Walmart in the United States. Avoid this retailer.

  12. The "Location-Based Alerts & Apple Ads" The Situation: You assume that seeing targeted ads is just the unavoidable cost of using the internet, and that occasional alerts from your phone are harmless and normal. The System Reality: Apple positions itself as a privacy-first company, but they still have a massive advertising business. Your phone is actively tracking your location, crossing digital geofences, and analyzing your proximity to retail locations to serve you geographically relevant Apple Store ads and location-based suggestions. The Technical Drain: Geofencing is expensive for a battery. The phone has to constantly calculate its distance from invisible barriers to know when to trigger an alert. It’s using your battery power to figure out how to market products to you more effectively. The Fix: Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → System Services → Toggle off "Location-Based Alerts", "Location-Based Suggestions", and "Apple Merchant ID". The Result: You completely sever the connection between your GPS hardware and Apple's internal marketing algorithms. You stop burning battery to get advertised to.

  ok so I just saw the most unhinged tech setup and I need to talk about it someone stacked like 50+ Mac Minis on a shelf. yellow shelf. looks like a construction site met an Apple Store. and honestly?? this is lowkey genius and I'm mad nobody told me sooner because here's the ***** secret the M-series Mac Mini might be the best value compute unit on the market right now. per watt, per dollar, per cubic inch of space. it destroys traditional server hardware in efficiency. it just doesn't LOOK like serious infrastructure so people dismiss it but some guy in a random office somewhere said you know what, I don't need a $400k rack from Dell. I need 60 of these bad boys, some ethernet, and a dream. and now he has a build/test pipeline that probably runs faster than your company's entire cloud setup no loud fans. no special power requirements. no "enterprise support contract" where someone charges you $800 to restart a service. just apples. wall to wall apples. the chair sitting lonely in the corner of the shot is sending me. someone WORKS there. they just sit next to the apple army every day and think nothing of it we are not the same #ai #macmini #macmini4

  @maye23musk32 @Elonmarsmusk12 My phone is not working well, I have made a list to follow-it is all Apple controlled things. Hopefully tomorrow. The Genius Bar at the Apple store was no help. I can’t transfer it to a new phone until I get it solved or I will simply have a new phone that only half works.

  @MtSilvr @KirscheVerstahl I love the apple store. One day, you walk in and say you want an orange. You like oranges better. The store owner says, "everyone must want oranges," and starts selling oranges. Now, no one shows up to the apple store, and it goes out of business. This is the problem.

  @jwblackwell Anyone with any sense has now switched off system updates on their mobile. This will cause significant issues with viruses. Also it could totally tank the new phone market as people realise they are buying crippled phones. Meanwhile direct sales of China phones without crippleware will be rife. Samsung, Google and Apple will be badly damaged. It might even see the advent of Harmony OS taking off where it has been restricted for so long. If having access to the Google or Apple store means the government controlling your life, a whole generation of users will abandon the status quo.

  Anyone in Gaborone who specialises in Apple software issues? My Apple Watch got stuck in a boot loop after a software update & the Apple Store at The Fields Mall doesn’t seem to know how to fix it. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

  Malko - my bedtime app blocker got REJECTED from apple store review. The turnaround time was quite fast! Last time I had to wait for 20 days for a rejection. Here are the reasons. 1. Incompatible with iPad - I have marked the app as iphone only. I'm not sure why they tested it on ipad. It may be easier to fix this than argue with them. 2. Paywall content - it does not clearly describe what the user will receive for the price. Seems an issue with messaging. Will rework and resubmit. Approval coming in any day now!

  back in 2023 I took it to a different Apple Store and my laptop was in worse condition (it was broken) but they repaired it so quickly. But this Apple Store was so terrible. all but one of the workers actually cared from the beginning when I spoke to them.

  The biggest problem with Unicorn is that they keep fake apple devices. All the apple devices you buy from them will have a super fast decline in battery health. I got the same device from Apple Store delhi and unicorn and the unicorn one I had to sell off within 6 months

  DANIEL CHEN BURNED $14,000 A MONTH ON H100s UNTIL HE WALKED INTO AN APPLE STORE AND BOUGHT 1,000 MAC MINIS. his AI startup was getting magic output and a death certificate at the same time. the cloud bill was eating the runway faster than the product could earn revenue so daniel ran the math on running it locally. one $599 mac mini m4 pulls 10-20 watts, costs $3 a month in electricity, and runs 24/7 forever. one $599 box replaces a $200/month subscription he racked 1,000 of them into a single facility. the whole stack draws less power than one nvidia server while pushing the same throughput then in january 2026 ollama added the anthropic messages API. now claude code itself connects to your local mac mini with one environment variable. same interface, zero API costs apple stores ran out of mac minis the same month. $599 one time beats $200 a month forever and the market figured it out before the press did the window is open. follow and bookmark before it closes.

  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.
