RealHausofPaine (@RealHausofPaine) reported@WallStreetApes I live in Towson, MD. Youth mobs and crime has increased. But there’s a deeper issue. The journalist fails to report, that employees at the Apple Store decided to unionize. The ONLY store in the nation. It failed.

Furry Male Today 🔞 (@FurryMaleToday) reported@Gabriel50617891 @XXLWOOFIA Is just the sfw version, you could download the game on the play store or Apple Store and login with your account. The nsfw version is only on playhorny page.

elev8tor guy (@Elev8torG68249) reported@DecodingPoliti2 @nypost Yup. The finger is pointed at everyone but the true problem. They blame the union for the apple store leaving. They blame Amazon on the mall closing. They blame white people for their neighborhoods and personal residence being in shambles. Everyone else. Its our fault

All Might (@Digitalmight007) reported@SeharaNatural @Usman_Moghal Try to delete your app and reinstall it if you are still facing the translation issue and check if there is an update on Google Play/ Apple Store.

Caleb Hull (@CalebJHull) reportedThe Apple store used to be all nerds that could fix any problem you could ever have in a heartbeat. What happened? It’s all clueless retail employees now.

AC Thompson (@acxsasx) reported@AndyObtiva @AdamTornhill Yeah, we’re actually struggling to figure this out. We just finished up a project and literally got it out to Apple Store tonight. We’re gonna be tackling that literally next week. I’m currently advocating that we have a developer per project. Our projects are small enough. If we don’t do that, then I foresee getting features defined and assigned a feature to each developer. And then see what kind of merge conflicts we get. I want to error on the side of moving too fast. Because right now we’ve been erroring on the side of moving too slow. That being said, we’ve literally defined a template project to define our architecture. And we defined a core library that is app agnostic. So when we start up a new project, the AI has good stuff to reference on how to build the code we’re asking for.

Mr Temi (@IamMrTemi) reported@inDrive @Lalapro_ I wish ALL comrades can just report this @inDrive App on playstores and Apple store.. So that they can be brought down... I am hate rubbish

Justin Dean 🇺🇸 (@JustinJDean) reportediPhone pops up and says the battery capacity is under 70% and to click here to replace the battery for free. I click and make an appointment for 6:30pm. I drive an hour to the Apple Store and after sitting with the Apple “Genius” for 30 minutes while he enters my info, he informs me that they don’t have time to replace the battery before they close at 8pm, and that I can return tomorrow morning. I feel like I’m in Seinfeld episode. “You know how to take the reservation. Keeping the reservation is the problem”
-
Nobuffer (@nobuffer) reported@jannismetrix @obscuravpn Correct. and issues with wrongly used batteries. They are trying to solve that is not a problem now. You use your phone 2 years and then if you need it you can take device to Apple store (for example) for a battery replacement...
-
Dianne 🌻 (@soaked2thebone) reported@johnennis @amazon I don't drive so depend on Amazon a lot. But when I decided to purchase a MacNeo I took an Uber to the nearest Apple store. I was worried about misdelivery which happens on occasion. I hadn't thought of the particular problem you're having. So frustrating.😣

little isa (@landoscah) reportedI had this problem and it wasn’t water.I brought my phone to an Apple Store for repair and they said some of the charging connection points on my phone were burnt (they were visibly darkened). Since it was still under warranty they fixed it for free with a new entire logic board)
-
Elm St (@1428elm_street) reported@Fels_1994 @johnennis @amazon The only thing is,it IS an official Apple retailer. If the person purchasing didn’t select the Apple Store on Amazon’ as the ‘seller’, that’s down to them. If they selected it, then there is an issue to resolve. Regardless, they ARE an official ‘seller’ as long as you select them

Aakash Gupta (@aakashgupta) reportedLive Photos exist because they check three boxes that have nothing to do with the user. They eat storage, which drives iCloud upgrades. They're visually impressive in Apple Store demos. And they create a switching cost: years of Live Photos that won't transfer cleanly to Android. Every iPhone user has accidentally sent a Live Photo that plays their voice saying something embarrassing in the background. Apple knows this. The feature has been on by default for 10 years. The fix would take one engineer one afternoon. Make it opt-in. But opt-in Live Photos would reduce iCloud storage consumption by an estimated 15-25% per user (each Live Photo is 2x the size of a regular photo because it saves a 1.5-second video clip alongside the image). Apple charges $2.99/mo for 200GB and $9.99/mo for 2TB. There are over 1 billion active iPhones. Even if only 10% of iCloud subscribers are pushed over their free tier partly because of Live Photos, that's tens of millions of monthly subscriptions that exist because a toggle is set to "on" by default. The setting is buried in Camera settings, not surfaced during setup. You will never see Apple put "Would you like Live Photos on or off?" in the onboarding flow. The confusion is the product.

Ian Grimsdick (@TheRamblingRep) reported@arpan_on_BC If they're perfectly formed boxes, I'd hazard to guess the little cable that connects the motherboard to the display has gotten a little loose. Should be a warranty issue Apple should fix/replace. Head to an Apple store and they should take care of it. There's a chance ...
-
Luck Dragon (@FratellisDragon) reported@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.
-
Sir Mapy (@sirmapy) reportedUpdate on @Peniremit Playstore application was approved for launch day but Apple store was rejected. This was the same issue we had with Peniwallet so we know just how to fix it. Expect Peniremit on the Appstore, we will try and get it done before launch day, but if not, it will come a week or two after launch day.

Quiet Storm (@stormofquiet) reported@orthokotan He really was, he went through a lot really, firstly he hates going in the car, then he was walked through a couple of department stores and the Apple Store, all new to him, it was a useful experience but he rated it 1/10! Once he was home and the adrenaline went down he slumped!
-
BAMiv (@BAMivDrop) reported@9to5mac The South Hills Village in upper St. Clair Pennsylvania Apple store is the absolute worst. They are rude. You have to make an appointment to get in. Sometimes you have to wait up to a week or two for an appointment so if your phones broke you can’t get it to work. You’re just basically screwed. Apple has turned into a **** piece of ****. Terrible customer service terrible updates on a regular basis and I might be going droid.

Grok (@grok) reported@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?
-
EarlyBird (@EarlyBird5468) reported@XDBchain Apparently, a lot of people are still having trouble with the wallet. I have uninstalled and redownloaded the wallet from apple store , rebooted my phone 6-7 times and still have the problem.

AberdeenRed 🏴⭐️⭐️ (@StandFreeDon) reported@appltrack Apple now needing photo driving license uploaded Credit card number online and also you now need to log into the apple store to proceed Two updates in a week in uk so something must have been wrong Why has apple login now also been added to the digital id?
-
aidan (@04musicenjoyer) reported@UTDIntent I chose to go to the Apple Store bc I got one 15 mins from me but nah at the store they just ship them off to get serviced anyway so it wouldn’t really matter going to the store or not bc they won’t fix AirPods in Apple stores anyway
-
Purewww (@neonpinkbag) reported@letsblinkit , order ID - ORD56136136625 I ordered an apple earphone and the seal of the product was broken. I spoke to the customer support and they advised me to check the authenticity by going to an apple store, isn't your app running because for customer convenience?

Dennis Murphy (@dennis_murphy) reported@vladgeorgescu It absolutely can - and does - still happen. Had a problem while traveling with my son’s AirPod Pros. One of them gave us nothing but static. Made a same day appointment at the Apple Store. Wait was unusually long - almost 25 minutes. Manager came over and asked what we were waiting for .. I explained it to him, he (literally) went over to a shelf, handed me a new pair of AirPod Pros, said “Sorry we kept you waiting - let me just record the serial # off the new box so I can go in the back and add AppleCare. You have a fantastic day.” And that was that. Walked out with a completely new set of AirPod Pros, no cost, and with an AppleCare extension to boot. Had a good friend a few (short) years ago bring in an iMac for a drive replacement …. they called him the next day, someone accidentally dropped it off the desk. So they told him to come on in to the store and pick out any iMac model he wanted. Gratis. Customer service still lives at Apple.

dar (@radbackwards) reported@1x_tech @NVIDIARobotics Much better with sound on… Preferably in your car (unless you drive a civic then go down to the Apple Store and Bluetooth connect to some AirPod Max’s)

𝕾𝖒𝖔𝖐𝖊 𝖀𝖓𝖔 (@shmokayyy) reported@retromauro @notme102023 @nyaika256 At a apple store or as an actual Apple repair technician? & Well i left it to dry for hours throughout multiple days and still get it randomly sometimes & if multiple ppl are saying the same thing the problem is obviously deeper than the solutions you brought up

aviral10𝕏 (@aviral10x) reportedIn 2017, I walked into an Apple Store with my cousins to see the iPhone X. I was 14. My sister was 12. My brother was 10. The guard stopped us at the door. Looked us up and down. Told us to come back with our parents. We walked away. Three kids, heads down, through that long mall corridor. That night I couldn’t sleep. Not because I was angry but because I made a promise to myself. Over the next few years, I taught myself to code. Started trading. Entered hackathons and won them. Landed internships. Built a public profile. All of this without even finishing college. I eventually dropped out because the real world was teaching me faster. I traveled to 6 countries. Worked with people I once only followed online. And one by one, I bought every Apple product I once dreamed of holding. From the same store that wouldn’t let me in. But here’s the part nobody talks about, after getting everything I wanted, I sat at my desk surrounded by all of it, and something still felt missing. The hunger that started in that mall corridor? It never leaves. The devices were never the destination. They were just proof that the kid who got turned away kept walking forward. Still walking. Still hungry.
