  No be you go teach me phone business or talking about 13 pro max because you be dealer too. Which one is I don’t import the ones with original screen ? If you like buy 13 pro max from Apple Store by yourself, it’ll still hit the green screen if it’ll do. This is the general issue about the iPhone 13 Pro Max globally. This has nothing to do with refurbished or original stock. You’re the one probably buying a refurbished phone. I import my stock from Canada and USA directly from legit suppliers. Like I’ve said before, it is not all 13 pro max that do comes with the screen issue, because even the ones I sold from last 2 years to last year. The earliest complain I received from someone is after 8 months of usage. 13 pro also has screen issues, but the ones I sold to customers from my stocks has never had any screen issue up to date, but does that mean 13 pro also does not have screen issue? I don’t like it when vendors comes to manage and spit trash. Go and post it on your own page that iPhone 13 Pro Max doesn’t have screen issue at all then sell it out all.

  Setup 9: She replaced the battery instead of buying a new AirTag. After 11 months, his keys AirTag stopped chirping as loudly. The Precision Finding response was slower. The battery was dying. He assumed the AirTag was disposable. Most people do. He was about to buy a replacement for $29. She took the AirTag, pressed down on the stainless steel back, twisted counterclockwise, and popped it open. Inside was a standard CR2032 battery the same coin battery that powers watches, calculators, and car key fobs. Available at every pharmacy, grocery store, and gas station in America. $3 for a single battery. $6 for a 4-pack on Amazon. She popped out the old battery, dropped in a new one, twisted the back clockwise, and the AirTag chirped to life. Full power. Ready for another year. The entire replacement took 15 seconds. No tools. No appointment. No Apple Store visit. No subscription. She told him this was the part most people don't understand about AirTags. There's no monthly fee. No annual subscription. No service plan. The AirTag costs $29 once, the battery costs $3 per year, and the Find My network the billion-device global tracking infrastructure is free forever. The total cost of ownership for a single AirTag over 5 years is roughly $44. Compare that to Tile, which charges $2.99/month for premium tracking features $36/year, $180 over 5 years. Or Samsung SmartTag, which works only within Samsung's smaller device network. The AirTag costs less per year, uses the largest tracking network on earth, and runs on a battery you can buy at a gas station. She'd been replacing the batteries on all 7 of their AirTags once a year for $21 total. The entire family's tracking system wallet, keys, car, dog, backpack, 2 suitcases costs $21/year to maintain.

  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.

  The uncomfortable truth: Apple's business model rewards storage anxiety. The more often customers see "Storage Almost Full," the more likely they are to: 1. Pay for iCloud subscriptions 2. Upgrade to higher-storage models 3. Buy a new iPhone entirely Every default setting on a new iPhone trends in the direction of consuming more storage, not less. The 7 fixes above take 10 minutes total. They cost nothing. They will recover an average of 40-60 GB on most iPhones over 12 months old. The Apple Store employee said one more thing before he left: "We see this every day. Most people don't even check Settings → General → iPhone Storage before they walk in. They just assume the phone is too small for them. It almost never is." RT this so more iPhone users stop spending $1,000 on a storage problem that could be solved with 7 toggles.

  CHINESE DEVS PACKED 1,000 MAC MINIS INTO A SINGLE DATA CENTER AND BUILT A $9,000,000-A-YEAR AI BUSINESS OUT OF APPLE'S CHEAPEST BOX. one thousand silver boxes. rack after rack, floor to ceiling, a wall of fans roaring to keep the whole room cool. Apple sold every one of them for $599 as a desktop for students and creators. these guys turned all thousand into a private cloud that rents compute Western companies charge a fortune for. the build cost around $600,000 once. electricity runs a few thousand a month. and roughly a hundred clients pay monthly retainers to run their models on hardware that never touches the public cloud. run the math and it stops looking like a hobby — boxes bought once, power measured in the low thousands, revenue clearing tens of millions before anyone in the West notices. OpenAI raised billions to build data centers. these guys raised nothing, bought a thousand boxes off the shelf, and quietly undercut the entire industry. the craziest part isn't the scale. it's that every piece of it was sitting in the Apple Store the whole time. tomorrow I'm breaking down how a farm this size is actually wired — the racks, the cooling, the software holding a thousand machines together. save this before running your own cloud stops sounding insane ↓

  @Clintwestwood97 @mrpyo1 That’s not a Sony problem necessarily. It’s how things have evolved (e.g. some games are no longer available on the Apple Store). There may be a happy middle solution. I have 100s of physical games. And I’m kind of over it. Too much space. Im a little relieved to be honest.

  @BUNN I got a cup of coffee tonight at a Big Apple Store which had two BUNN Touch Screen Coffee Machines. One would think a company as big as @BUNN that is focused on coffee would know how to spell ColOmbian coffee (Not ColUmbian). Hopefully it is something you can fix remotely

  @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

  @seckincreatives @aandreug @framer But why's that a problem, see the Apple Store for instance - it's the absolutely same system, there are millions of apps, most of them are buried and nobody cares for them, let the market decide what works and why. We're in 2026 and marketing and product go hand in hand, there's no way around that, the old way was outdated, so they changed it, my templates are buried as well, but that's no reason to cry just work harder and adapt to what's new.

  A guy walked into an Apple Store to buy a MacBook Air. He walked out having spent $2,100 on a $999 laptop. He thought he made smart choices the whole time. His brother in law, who worked Apple retail for 9 years, watched the receipt and just shook his head. In the parking lot he said: "You didn't buy a laptop today. You bought seven upsells wrapped around a laptop. The storage tier. The AppleCare pitch. The trade in number. The 'while you're here' accessories. None of it is random. Every rep is trained to hit those seven moments in that order." He broke down 9 tricks Apple retail uses and the counter move for each one. Two months later the brother bought his own MacBook using the playbook. Same store. Same model. $760 less. Here's everything he said.

  Update regarding this issue: I just visited an authorized Apple Service Center. They told me that if Apple approves the replacement, it will take about 1–2 months because the replacement unit needs to be imported from Singapore. Even though I have the case number and a letter from the Apple Store Shinsaibashi, they said those documents don’t guarantee that my iPhone will be replaced. If Apple declines the replacement request, I’ll need to contact Apple Support again. I’m really hoping they’ll replace my device. In the meantime, I’ll be using my other iPhone as my main phone.

  Swap 2: The $50 Apple Store screen protector installation replaced with an $8 Amazon 3-pack. He'd walked into the Apple Store 3 times across 3 iPhones and paid for their screen protector installation. $50 each time. An employee cleaned the screen, applied the protector using an alignment tool, and pressed out the bubbles. Total time: 4 minutes. The repair tech told him the screen protector Apple installs is 9H tempered glass. The same 9H tempered glass that sells in 3-packs on Amazon for $8. The "H" rating refers to the Mohs hardness scale. 9H is the industry standard for every screen protector on the market Apple's, Zagg's, Spigen's, and the unbranded Amazon listing. Same hardness. Same thickness. Same oleophobic coating. The Amazon 3-packs include the same alignment frame Apple uses in-store. Place it on the phone. Drop the protector. Press down. The frame guarantees perfect alignment. No skill required. No Apple Store appointment required. He'd paid $150 across 3 phones for a product that costs $2.67 per unit on Amazon with the same installation tool included free. Saved: $42.

  @SoldierSats Google play is being worked on, and Apple store is... Well, a tricky one. The kink is, these stores require devs to run there code so they take a 30% cut of all trxns. My apologies for the download issue. Most phone, have a setting to allow third party/non store downloads. Its quite possible this setting is not enabled.

  @Derceto00 @2_Old_4_Gaming @RetroGamer_Daz Why do y'all say this? Where is it a rental? Please show me where a game has been completely removed after a certain amount of time from someone's library? It's NOT a rental! You are buying a license! That license CAN be revoked but so can your driver's license. Does that mean you're only renting your car if you break the law and they take away your license to drive? No. You are the owner of that license along with the publishers that you acquired it from. That agreement WILL NOT BREAK as long as you don't break any of the TOS. even if they close down forever. You still get to keep your games. I'm sick of reading this rental nonsense because it's simply not true and not how this works. "but what about the 500 movies Sony took!" Movies are not games! Movies you get from a third party EXPLICITLY tells you that YOU DON'T OWN THIS! What you're buying is a license to view it from that third party as long as THEY have their license to carry that movie renewed. There's never a time you can show me in the EULA for games where they can just arbitrarily take games from you and that you're only renting them. It doesn't state that. Movies have licensing agreements in place with platforms like Fandango, Apple Store, Google Play Store, Movies Anywhere, etc, where they can carry those movies on your behalf as you buy the license to watch them on those platforms. The EULA explicitly says this to you. The ONLY way a digital movie is yours forever is if you bought it first hand from the studios that made it. That means when you purchase a movie from their own website, the DVDs and Blu-ray codes that come in the boxes, or they gave you a code to use directly. You still watch them on those platforms but if one of those platforms ever shut down? They are obligated to move your collection over to another "locker", which is what they call it in the EULA, OR give you the ability to download the movies so you keep them forever. They HAVE to do this as it is in their EULA and that's what they agreed on with you as the purchaser. Games? They don't have limited licenses like that, typically. You'll run into a licensed game from Marvel or DC or Star Trek, Nickelodeon, or licensed music, etc, and those games have limited licenses physically and digitally. That's why a lot of those games get delisted or they have to remove the music just like GTA had to do a few years ago. Delisting doesn't mean you can't play what you've bought though. That's what I need people to understand. Delisting is not de-platforming. It's not the same thing. I have purchased delisted games since 2017 and they are still ready for me to play digitally. You keep them. They just aren't available for purchase for anyone else that may want them digitally. Physical games get delisted and moved from store shelves all the time too. Deadpool is a great example of a game no longer in regular circulation and you can only really find it used for high prices on eBay. Effectively that game is out of commission because of that physically. Digitally? You can still play it if you bought it before they delisted it. It's not gone forever. It's there. I hope you really take time out to read all of this and try to understand that You've been misinformed on this stuff and that digital gaming is not what you've been thinking. There's some drawbacks just like there will be with physical games. The true issue needing addressing with all digital platform is the refund, trade, and selling policies that Sony has to change up. They will have to change them to match Steam because that's their direct competition now. I do think they will announce changes to those soon.

  @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.
