  @yonann Lost me at "Perception of Customer Support" Have a problem, go to Apple store and they handle it. W/ Apple Care no issues. PC, who do I go to? Best buy, where they upsell/run-around try to sell x. Time is your most valuable asset! *Cough

  Welcome to Apple. Where everything is carefully scripted. That said, lots of Apple employees have told me the same. Building for Apple's scale is much more difficult than being a startup and launching something on a weekend that isn't secure, is nerdy to use. Go to an Apple store and watch some of the classes people are taking. Many are still figuring out how to use their camera on their iPhone. Getting an agentic system into the OS will take a lot more thought than what OpenClaw or Hermes has put in yet, which are systems designed for early adopters/developers who know what they are doing. It makes Apple seem slow and not innovative. I saw the same inside Microsoft when I worked there. Hard to do innovative things when you have a billion users who are on a spectrum of grandmas to nerds. Then there is protection of their existing business models. I have a phone that has a completely agentic operating system on it, which takes away a lot of the business model of app stores and apps. Apple will take years to do such a thing, is my prediction. If you want such a thing (I do) then you gotta look elsewhere unfortunately. (It runs on Android since that OS lets developers do crazy things like that).

  YES! Mac Mini at $599 is killing AI subscriptions Developers are massively ditching Claude Code, ChatGPT Pro, and Cursor — switching to local models running on Mac Mini M4. One Reddit post ("spent $170 in 10 days on Claude Code") triggered a wave: someone replied "bought a Mac Mini — haven't paid Anthropic since", and that same week the mini-computers disappeared from Apple Store shelves. Why it works:The M4 chip with unified memory (120 GB/s) runs large models more efficiently than a $1,500 Windows PC with a dedicated GPU. Since January 2026, Ollama supports the Anthropic API format — Claude Code connects to a local server with a single environment variable. Cost per request: $0. The math is simple:A heavy developer spends ~$459/month on AI subscriptions = $5,500+ per year. The Mac Mini pays for itself in under 3 months, after that — $3 a month in electricity. Marcus Chen took it furthest — he built a rack of 30 Mac Minis as his personal AI farm. Those who own the infrastructure today will have years of advantage tomorrow.

  Since I posted about @greyfinance and they fixed the issue, a few people have been asking if the USD card works for buying X Premium. The answer is yes, it does ✅ Glad I was able to bring a few more people to the app too. I’m always open to deals and partnerships we’re only growing from here. 🚀 And hey, don’t forget to download @greyfinance from the Play Store or Apple Store and check it out for yourself

  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!

  I have at least one theory concerning that, and it all boils down to passing the buck. The companies insuring these lootboxes for Nvidia will likely insist upon installing some sort of odious security measures in the hardware. Much like the store model iPhones at the Apple store.

  A man's iPhone battery was dying by 2 PM every day. But his Battery Health was at 99%. He constantly closed background apps. Turned down his brightness. Lived on Low Power Mode. The battery still melted like ice in the sun. He went to the Apple Store, ready to pay $89 for a battery replacement. The Genius Bar employee held up a hand: "Keep your money. Let me show you something." She opened Settings → Privacy & Security and sighed. "There are silent 'vampire' features bleeding your battery dry. Apple turns almost all of them on by default. Nobody tells you they exist. Let's fix it." Here's what she showed him in the next 8 minutes. 🧵

  Can’t find it because the search function is broken but I am thinking about the email exchange in the Epstein files involving Barak and Koren discussing headphones being returned at a specific Apple store location in NYC. Which was obviously coded talk about moving something

  @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.

  I think most nerds have been to the Apple Store and ordered every possible option for a Mac Pro or went to a server vendor and ordered a trillion servers.

  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 about 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.

  @vlmxs @SnazzyLabs Speeds are really down in a clumsy environment. Tried it in our local Apple Store and it came out weird that some pages took loading more than 10 seconds. Then ran Speedtest and the speeds capped at about 30 Mb/s, while the store had 1 Gb/s wireless (I was the only customer).

  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

  @Andrewislington I had to go to the Apple Store and they just plugged it into another Mac to restore it. I could have done it myself but I only own one, and no friends with Macs were nearby at the time hahaha. The main issue was that I hadn't backed anything up so lost loads of files oops

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