  For Real Apple really needs to level up there Apple Store Connect platform. Everyday something is broken. I have been trying to get into the Integration page for a day now, it just shows that there is a error and the whole page reloads.

  If you're unsure where to buy your smartphone 🥉Skip it Cell phone shops (Docomo, au shops, etc.) ・Charged a down payment of 10,000–20,000 yen ・Pushed into unnecessary options ・Zero comparison with other carriers 🥈Safe bet Official stores (Apple Store, etc.) ・Lowest price for the device itself ・No sales pitches ・Device upgrades are a good deal too 🥇My real recommendation is ↓

  24+ hours later my @TMobile eSIM still won’t activate on my brand new iPhone. I’ve spent hours with @TMobileHelp, visited a T-Mobile store for over an hour, and even went to the Apple Store. Apple believes the issue is on T-Mobile’s provisioning side.

  @ValerieAnne1970 Yep. My iPhone 11 suddenly started having issues typing messages. Never damaged or wet. Just one day, started acting up. I took it into an Apple Store and was told that it would cost more to ‘fix’ it than to get a new one and they wouldn’t guarantee they could even fix it.

  MARCUS CHEN STACKED 30 MAC MINIS AND BUILT AN AI SERVER FARM. A SINGLE $599 MAC MINI CAN REPLACE YOUR $200/MONTH CLAUDE CODE ACCOUNT, COSTING JUST $3 IN ENERGY. Two months ago, a developer posted his Claude Code bill on Reddit: $170 in just 10 days. Someone replied: “I bought a Mac Mini M4. I haven’t paid Anthropic anything since then.” That same week, Mac Minis vanished from Apple Store shelves. The M4 chip delivers 120 GB/s of memory bandwidth and a unified memory architecture. The CPU and GPU share the same memory pool, so the model loads just once and both access the same data. In practice, a $599 Mac Mini can run AI better than many $1,500 Windows PCs equipped with dedicated GPUs. Since January 2026, Ollama has started supporting Anthropic’s Messages API format. With just one environment variable, Claude Code connects directly to your local Mac Mini. The same interface. Zero API cost. $0 per request. A developer who uses AI intensively can spend $459 a month across Claude Code Max, ChatGPT Pro, Gemini, Cursor, and Copilot. That adds up to $5,508 a year. The Mac Mini investment pays for itself in about three months. After that, the operating cost is around $3 in electricity. Uber rolled out Claude Code to 5,000 engineers and would have burned through a significant chunk of its $3.4 billion AI budget for 2026 in just four months. Whoever controls the infrastructure today could be years ahead of everyone else tomorrow.

  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:

  Because Phone Broke and I couldn't AUTHENTICATE Myself on Google Laptop without @Apple @Walmart phone working, I was in N. Carolina driving north on i-95 alone, figuring out troubleshooting THAT my phone was broken and HOW it was BROKEN, but not BEFORE @Apple locked me out for perpetuity to not ever prove I was human until I entered an APPLE STORE for 3 hours of GREAT customer service in Bridgewater, New Jersey I could NOT call DOCTORS (chronic pain patient, stage 2b breast cancer survivor living with peripheral neuropathy, post-mastectomy pain syndrome, osteopenia, arthritic pain, IBS, to name a few...), I could NO ACCESS access PHARMACY (during mudbutt, as cancer survivor, finding Tick after walk w dogs next to Motel6 gross!), I could NO make a RESERVATION for a hotel down the road, I couldn't contact FAMILY for 48+ hours (until I literally drove up to their house troubleshooting New Jersey JUGHANDLES from suppressed memories?!?) I couldn't AUTHENTICATE Myself for small biz account for while I don't have a backup manager... I had no GPS, but I happen to be smart enough to travel half way across the country without picking up a map or a phone. ONE Lucky strike.

  @DisneyScoopGuy Honestly the hourly call center support dude (or dudette) doesn’t know **** all. Ask for a higher tier of support and that you’re willing to wait for a call back or go through email if need be. Also a good time to visit an Apple Store as someone there will have incentive to fix it for you and not just get you off the phone.

  @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.

  Sam Altman taught 720 startups one formula where luck is a random number between 0 and 10,000. Stanford, 2014. The opening lecture of CS183B was so packed he asked for a bigger auditorium. He was 28, a dropout from this same school 9 years earlier, now running Y Combinator. The formula he wrote on the board: idea × product × team × execution × luck and you only control 4 of the 5, because the fifth one goes to 10,000. His words, not a metaphor. Then he did something strange: he handed half of his own lecture to Dustin Moskovitz, co-founder of Facebook, whose entire job was to talk students out of starting companies. Dustin showed one table. Employee 100 at Dropbox with standard 10 basis points made $10 million, employee 250 at Facebook made $200 million, and employee 1,000 joining in 2009, when everyone said it was too late still made $20 million. Your own startup? Best case you build a $100 million company and keep 10% after dilution. $10 million, same as employee 1,000, minus your health. Dustin knew the price because he paid it: at 21 he was throwing his back out every 6 months from pure anxiety, always on call, unable to quit a founder who leaves wears the black eye for a decade. Then Altman twisted the lecture back with advice that cut against everything in the room. The best ideas look terrible at the start: the 13th search engine, the 10th social network limited to college kids, sleeping on strangers' couches. If an idea sounds good, too many people are already building it. Make something 100 people love instead of something 10,000 people like. Ben Silbermann recruited Pinterest's first users by walking up to strangers in Palo Alto coffee shops, then resetting every browser in the Apple Store to Pinterest's homepage until they threw him out. And the only valid reason to start is that you can't not do it. Dustin built Asana at night, after full days at Facebook, unpaid and unasked. "The idea was beating itself out of our chest." The rest is a number between 0 and 10,000.

  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 🧄💎

  @DummyCapital I take the other side of each of these. Android supply chain is falling apart, eastern players are pulling out of some local markets, carrier sellthrough was poor because mix skewed heavily to Apple Store which team talked about in conjunction with Mac demand… so carrier issue

  Is it possible we are at the beginning of the end of the smartphone era? If AI is as big as it appears to be, computer and memory will flow to its applications (from datacenter to edge). This will cause price inflation for smartphones, including and perhaps especially Apple ones because Apple's edge has been ever more advanced compute (and better cameras), alongside of course amazing software. So iPhones go up in price, margins go down, and people upgrade less. Apple's strategy of on-device AI exacerbates the problem because it adds cost, but not much functionality. On device Apple models sound like the elegant and profitable way to avoid the capex-AI investment cycle bedeviling Wall Street, but it instead pushes Apple headlong into a high price, low margin winter of expensive on device AI combined with an awkward partnership with its primary competitor, Google (who seems to be losing its AI mojo as we speak). And as an aside, I had the unusual experience at the Apple Store yesterday of being upsold aggressively on Apple News+ and some business service thing I didn't want. Apple service revenue is important, but it's very tied to Apple devices (especially Apple Care). Anyways, just a thought. Not bagging on Apple, but the thought occured to me that if the competition for scarce computer and memory doesn't let up, Apple's salad days of ever more powerful iPhones at a reasonable cost may be over.

  @the_transit_guy Down that same stretch you also have the Apple Store and the Boylston entrance of the Prudential Center. It’s hardly an outlier let’s be serious. “Just a block for Newbury” means nothing. It’s not Newbury.
