hitesh chaudhary (@hitesh1307) reported@tim_cook, I never expected this from Apple. After an Apple Store visit and multiple support calls over months, I’m still being told my iPhone 17 Pro has “no issues” because they’re intermittent. This is unacceptable. Case #102876848444 @AppleSupport
-
Sniffer (@snifferrrrrr) reported@devops_nk I had the same issue on my mbp m4. The official Apple Store diagnosed it as a motherboard failure. My warranty had expired, so it costed me 68k to repair. Since yours is still under warranty, I’d recommend taking it to Apple instead of trying temporary fixes.
-
stevie (@stevie_builds) reported@woocassh Man Claude’s security is a pain. Security always comes at the cost of UX, but I think they pushed that one a bit too far. Codex seems to just ask less questions and get it done. I’m literally just about to go out to the Apple Store to buy a big fat juicy MacBook. But maybe I should just rent a server instead 😵💫

canid (@dilfboner) reported[getting down on one knee and revealing an engagement ring] will you be the apple store to my gay little monkey

ٰ (@forwolfchan) reported@femjilix you can search online for places! if you Apple care (??? If that’s what it’s called) you can go to the Apple Store and they fix it for free

Bradley (@VerdeSelvans) reportedJust wanted to share an update regarding this issue. I spoke with one of Apple's Senior Advisors in Indonesia, and they explained that my replacement request couldn't be approved because Indonesia doesn't have an Apple Store—only Apple Authorized Service Provider. The Apple Authorized Service Provider denies to replace my phone. They suggested that I visit an Apple Store in Singapore or Malaysia instead, as those are the closest countries to me with official Apple Stores, and they should be able to replace my phone there. Will I fly to Singapore or Malaysia just for a replacement? Definitely not. Plane tickets aren't cheap these days. I'll treat this as a lesson learned, and hopefully it can be a lesson for you guys too—especially if you live in Indonesia or another country without an Apple Store. Do I blame Apple? No. They actually offered to replace my phone from the very beginning, but I chose not to accept it. That said, I really wish Apple would open an official Apple Store here in Indonesia.

RedDevil (@zebrinaholmes) reported@HOUSEPORN___ This is how I almost fell down the stairs at the Apple Store downtown in Union Square out here in San Francisco because why are the stairs made of glass see-through tell this day I’m still super cautious of going up and down

Ganesh Lohar (@ganeshlohar_) reported@devops_nk My magsafe charging gets paused after some time. I switched to type C and never faced any issue. Though get it checked from Apple store for any battery issues which are unlikely i believe Magsafe has always been a pain

Kevin (@Kevincreates77) reportedSetup 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.

Prof Adebayo (@ProfAdebay) reported@dhh In case you’re wondering how he set this up: Download Tailscale: creates the secure private network between both devices. Dowload Termius on playstore or apple store: the terminal app running on the Fold. SSH: connects Termius to his remote computer or VPS. Install Codex/Claude on the server: runs on the remote machine as the coding agent. The Fold is the interface; the real development environment and computing power remain on the remote machine.

Steve Jabs (@SteveJabs) reported@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.

Victor Mfon Martins (@adafarida) reportedI’d still be using my iPhone 13 if it didn’t randomly go off in 2024. Apple Store couldn’t fix what those Nigerian phone guys fixed in 10 minutes😭 sadly, I had already bought another phone and had to give my gorgeous pink 13 away😩

ThatMedChidi👩🏽⚕️🩺💓 (@chidi_jenny) reportedWent to @Apple store in Arndale to diagnose/fix my screen that’s been going dark & they told me the screen & battery were done for & it’ll cost like 600 quid to fix; advised me to get a new one instead 😩. In the meantime I’ll just keep connecting it to my TV w/ HDMI 😩😭😭😭.

giosaia (@giosaia) reportedStill struggling. I need to create releases for 3 apps on the Apple Store, fix releases on Google Play, fix the web hook for RankGoat to create posts for my business, integrate the eBay API for inventory management in CAUN, test CoinTrade, finish the TubeBinder MVP, and make 1.5B. When will I get it done if I do nothing?

Kofi Yeboah (@kreativesky) reportedLaptop overheating again…to the Apple Store I go 😭 can’t afford to not fix it this week

Ettienne (@ettiennepercy) reporteddoes anyone else remember when @Apple was a good company with great products? back when apple store associates used to help you with your issues instead of upselling? back when their devices used to work properly for longer than 6-12 months? when they use to innovate technology?
-
ella 🐈⬛ 34/47 (@rippingurjeans) reportedok so the apple store people couldn’t fix my phone that THEY broke and they said i could get it replaced for $500 so i cried and then they said they’d do it for $90

Majd Taby (@jtaby) reported@leonsasson like 6 inches. I didn't even think twice about it, but my screen had cracked and was replaced at the Apple Store so maybe if your screen is replaced then you have an issue?

Manol T. (@manol_ai) reportedI make ios apps and I don't have an IPhone Neither mac. This is how I do it: - made the app over @expo with claude code - set up my github actions (ci cd) to create android (adb) and ios builds (ipa) - they go directly to the internal testing track for android dev console and testfight in apple store connect - I rent a @MacinCloud for $30 to run ios emulator and make sure the app works for emulator - invited 2 friends to testflight - they report me bugs and I fix it I am stubborn enough not to buy an iPhone but spend money on ads. What are your app building challenges? #buildinpublic #mobileapps #testflight

Olivia Chowdhury (@Oliviacoder1) reportedA 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.

Renny (@rennyzucker) reported@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

𝓑𝓚 🇮🇳 (@incognitobk) reported@AppleSupport got a shocker of my life with Mac Book Air going blank. After visiting Apple Store Noida and initial inspection the laptop was found in good condition and looked like there was a problem with the logic board. Under Apple care mail was sent that zero cost is leviabl
