  I can't play the games I've purchased simply because the mobile apps aren't available on the Apple Store. That's You, Hidden Agenda, and Knowledge is Power are currently unplayable in Türkiye. I request help regarding this issue. @PlayStation @Sony

  @heyjames01 No, not yet. Your 2023 iPhone (likely 15 series) is only ~2.5 years old with a normal 77% capacity after 1225 cycles. Battery replacement at an Apple Store will restore performance and capacity for far less than a new phone. Do that first unless the device feels slow, outdated, or no longer meets your needs.

  So I updated my Apple IPhone a few days ago and today I get a message “No sim”. I take it into an Apple Store and they tell me to fix it it’ll cost me 500 dollars, so what I do? Just get a new IPhone. I should have listened to people who say never update your iPhone, but how can I not! #Apple

  @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?

  @Aina_Ai2 Thank you for this. My iPhone 15 pro max started heating when summer started. 6 months of misery like you describe. I went to our Apple Store and asked if the 17 pro would eliminate this heating problem, I was told “it should, Apple put a cooling chamber in it” ; I asked if they could guarantee the 17 pro would stay cool and was told “no, we can’t do that “. The store gives us only 14 days to return the product if there are problems. My 17 pro with the “cooling chamber “ has the same heating problem my 15 Pro Max had (heating and screen going black). I missed taking a lot of photos and videos of nephews and nieces playing junior baseball because of this heating problem.

  7. As a further courtesy, I'll give you one week from tomorrow (Which will be 5/8/26) to issue a refund to me and properly label the items in your app's store. After that, I will report the violating lootbox mechanics on both the Play store and the Apple store. 8/8

  Could have been an issue with Apple Pay that wasn’t accounted from Apple’s end But the customer service and lack there of from the Apple Store is likely what will continue to lead to their downfall imo I literally hate spending money on Apple but have no choice 4 at least 2yr

  My MacBook Pro just stopped working from error messages to having these options and tried it all - see image. Also ran diagnostics, spoke to Apple Support last night and took the mac to apple store today - they were not able to help! They couldnt find the storage device - thats it. I’ve used @grok thus far + @AppleSupport phone & in-store support. Who can help and get me past this problem?

  @macintogdev Dude are you kidding me these things are absolutely locked down. If you work in one you can't even bring in a storage device like a CD or a flash drive. A group of ******* can't rush these like they do an apple store.

  @GenXDutchess2 @RadioWatermelon I mean, that’s how I downloaded discord many many years ago. Someone sent me a link to a discord server. I didn’t have a discord account at that time. And when I click on the link, a menu popped up asking me whether I want to download discord and it took me to Apple Store to download discord.

  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)

  @Supersonic_Red @refueled Reading your post was such a walk down memory lane. I was just having a conversation about my generation with the Apple Store technicians a few days ago. My partner gets in trouble all the time by refusing to acknowledge how important passwords are.
