昶謲 (@howyouarrive) reportedI have to say, Apple's payment system has some serious issues.@AppleSupport When I tried to apply my $100 account balance to a checkout order on the Apple Store, the credit was applied correctly. I am trying to purchase four AirTags for same-day delivery, which requires me to pay an additional $15. The system gave me several payment options: Apple Card, Visa, or Apple Pay. I tried every single one of those options. Even though I correctly entered all of my personal information and billing address, I kept receiving the same error message: "Your payment authorization failed. Please verify your information and try again, or try other payment methods." Furthermore, I encountered several front-end bugs during the checkout process, such as misaligned icons. There was also an issue where the Apple Pay interface would open but remain completely blank. I would like the Apple team to look into these issues.

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.

Adam Koszek (@wkoszek) reportedIt's interesting how Apple Store changed servicing - I can now use the Mac as my part is being shipped. Whoever did this (@tim_cook is it you? - thank you!) Next step: let people just run self-service, and when I come over, perhaps just scan some magic code of my screen and that's it to verify it's the same machine. And the step after next would be to have Apple folks inspect the laptop and suggest fixes under AppleCare. e.g.: you have keyboard marks on LCD - we'll fix it for you. Improvement after this one: just book appointments for fixes and do them just-in-time, almost like doctor visits. So I bring my Mac in 2:54pm, then the service starts at 3pm, and on 3:45pm or so I get a Mac with new battery etc. because all parts were already in that store waiting for me. No need of 4 day stay for a flu. I don't get why there's like 3-7 day wait time for a fix anything. Bettery is like a 10-30min job. Is it because people from half of California send computers to handful of stores? Can't it all be offloaded by having people further away from Apple Store mail computer via Fedex/UPS? Those boxes should go to some big fix center where 50 people can be fixing 50 Macs per hr. It could be perhaps 2-3 days to get computer back, so it'd be better/faster for folks further away. And it'd be amazing experience for folks close to stores.

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

Josh (@jjpcodes) reported@thekitze shoot your mac with a gun every night at 10pm. tomorrow morning go to the apple store, buy a new mac, ssh into a server, bam done. more seriously what about MDM that locks down your device enough so that you can't change the relevant settings; and the only person with access to the MDM after initial setup is someone who is not you and not bribable by you?

LibbyAnn C (@MarineLibby) reportedI had to get some more alerts before I could reply to you since I can only use the bottom half of my touchscreen. Problems I never thought of in the year 2005! I do have to give a shout out to the Apple Store. They helped me when I was totally locked out of my account even though I bought my phone from a third-party and walked in with a cracked screen I honestly thought they were gonna be the worst and turned me away and the guy spent like an hour and a half with me

Asher Crowe 🪺 (@ashercrw) reportedA 31-YEAR-OLD IN BELGRADE IS PULLING $8,400 A MONTH OFF FIVE MAC MINIS RUNNING IN A TOWER ON HIS DESK. The whole stack costs $19 a month in electricity to operate. The hardware paid for itself in week one. The setup is so quiet his girlfriend didn't notice when he turned it on. His name is Stefan. This is the cleanest example of the new solo operator economy I've seen all year and the numbers deserve a full breakdown. The hardware is five M4 Mac Minis stacked in a tower on his desk. Each one has a number written on it in marker, 1 through 5, so he knows which node dropped when one goes silent. A pink dumbbell sits on the shelf above them. A can of compressed air on the windowsill. The whole thing hums quieter than the mini fridge in the corner. The five machines are clustered with EXO into one virtual machine. EXO is the open-source framework that lets you string together consumer hardware into a distributed inference rig without needing a degree in systems engineering. The setup runs Llama 70B locally on MLX, Apple's machine learning framework optimized for unified memory. Nothing he runs ever touches a cloud server. No API costs. No rate limits. No latency tax. The model runs on his desk and answers in milliseconds. Here's the workflow he built around it. A client uploads a raw manuscript. Anywhere from 60,000 to 120,000 words. Indie author novels, self-help books, faceless YouTube channel scripts, the kind of long-form content that needs narration but doesn't have a studio budget. The Llama 70B model does the reading work first. It ingests the raw text, cleans the formatting, splits the chapters automatically, and tags every line of dialogue with the emotional tone it should be read in. Excited. Whispered. Angry. Resigned. Then it writes the chapter descriptions that faceless YouTube channels paste directly under their uploads. All of it done locally. All of it done in one pass. Then an open voice model on the same stack takes over and narrates the entire book in a single locked voice. The voice never gets tired, never asks for a re-record, never raises its day rate, never catches a cold the day before a session. The same voice across every chapter, every book, every client. Consistency that human narrators physically cannot match. A local audio mastering model handles the final polish. Compression, leveling, breath cleanup, room tone matching. The output is studio-quality audio ready for upload. The stack renders 28 hours of clean narration per month while he sleeps. He wakes up, exports the files, sends them to clients, invoices them, and goes back to whatever he wants to do with his day. Now the part that breaks people. The power draw across all five machines running at full load is 180 watts. He has a KUMAN meter plugged into the wall to track it. A single gaming PC idles higher than that. The entire AI studio he built consumes less electricity than a hair dryer on low. At Serbian residential rates that works out to roughly $19 a month in operating cost. Eight thousand four hundred dollars in, nineteen dollars out. A 442x margin on power alone before you account for the fact that the hardware paid for itself the first week he turned it on. His girlfriend asked why the power bill didn't move after he built it. He told her it can't, the machines barely draw anything. She asked what the whole thing cost to set up. He told her. She asked why he didn't build ten. That's the right question. A traditional audiobook studio has a narrator on a day rate, a booth, an engineer, and a monthly power bill that buries solo operators. The cheapest professional narrator in the US charges around $200 per finished hour. The cheapest decent one runs closer to $400. A 10-hour audiobook costs an indie author at least $2,000 in narration alone, plus mastering, plus mixing, plus the three week turnaround time while the narrator fits the project into their schedule. Stefan delivers the same product for a fraction of the cost, in 48 hours, with consistent quality across every chapter, and his only constraint is how fast he can find clients. The economics are completely deranged compared to traditional service businesses. He doesn't pay rent on a studio. He doesn't pay a narrator. He doesn't pay for cloud compute. His marginal cost per audiobook is approximately the electricity it takes to run the cluster for the duration of the render, which is measured in pennies. A few realizations worth sitting with. The frontier of AI economics is no longer in San Francisco. It's in apartments in Belgrade, Lagos, Manila, and Tbilisi, where operators with low overhead and high technical curiosity are quietly running businesses that look impossible from the outside. The geographic distribution of who actually makes money from AI is going to look nothing like the geographic distribution of who funded the labs. Local inference is the quiet revolution nobody on this app is talking about loudly enough. Every workflow that currently runs on OpenAI or Anthropic APIs has a cousin that runs on a Mac cluster for the price of an electrical outlet. The companies paying $30k a month in cloud bills are going to wake up in 18 months and find their margins eaten by operators paying $19. The audiobook market is just the beginning. Every service business with high human labor costs and predictable output requirements is about to get the same treatment. Voiceover work, transcription, translation, copywriting, image editing, video editing, customer support, technical writing. Each one of these has a local-inference version waiting to be built by someone with a stack of Mac Minis and an EXO config file. Stefan didn't invent anything. He just connected the right pieces. The pieces have been sitting on GitHub for over a year. The Mac Minis have been on shelves at every Apple Store. EXO is free. The voice models are open. The orchestration is a weekend project. The only barrier was knowing it was possible. Now you know.

Azure🩵 (Coms open) (@RuriAzure_) reported2 Like in Germany GPlaystore, there is nothing there. Even ******* Apple store got nothing. It was a mistake, an error. They forgot to remove that notice because of the recent events. Cant you all ******* stop, use your brains, and breathe?

Patrick Carter (@PatrickRCarter) reported1/ Parents, we don’t have to choose between protecting our kids and protecting our privacy. Unrestricted smartphones should be treated like alcohol: 21 and older only. Nothing changes for adults. 2/ Here’s the part no one talks about: I cannot protect my child from what’s on their classmate’s phone. One unrestricted device and the whole group has access to the full adult internet. That’s the real problem we need to solve.3/ Privacy is the line between a person and a possession. A slave was property because someone else claimed the right to watch, record, control, permit, and deny his life. A free person requires privacy.4/ Some people say “if a liquor store can check an ID, so can the Apple Store.” That sounds simple… but it’s not the same thing. A liquor store checks you once, in person, for one item. Turning every app, website, and device into a permanent ID checkpoint creates a surveillance system for adults. That’s not protection — that’s control.5/ We all agree kids shouldn’t have unrestricted access to pornography, gambling, addictive feeds, and strangers. The easy fix is right in front of us: Stop handing children unrestricted adult-grade devices by default.6/ Make youth-safe electronics the standard for anyone under 21 — unless a parent is directly supervising. If a company wants its phone, app, or operating system in a child’s life, it should prove it belongs there. Adults keep buying and using whatever they want. No digital ID. No face scans. No adult internet passport.7/ This protects kids at the device level before they ever reach the adult internet. It keeps adults completely free. Privacy for grown-ups. Safety for kids. We can have both.8/ Parents — does this make sense? Drop a 🔥 if you agree we should protect children without forcing every adult to surrender their privacy. What’s the one thing that worries you most about kids and phones right now?

Andy Tran (@andyhtran_) reportedApple support has gone down the gutter. AppleCare+ doesn't help either. Waste of money My airpod pro 3 has a hardware defect where the right pod inner hardware starts to shuffle on long runs They denied my warranty claim because their 'test' didn't detect anything in a stationary environment I had an appt at the Apple Store scheduled but it took 30 mins to chat with someone. Another 30 minutes to chat with a manager All for them to say they can't help and that their test was rigorous enough to simulate my 'long run' use case. Sure I could've sworn that their Support used to be much better! Maybe it's location dependent

Campbell (@boomers_ass) reportedThe Apple Store is a joke. Went in last week to replace my iPhone battery. They had to order the part. Waited ~10 days, then got told: “Come in within 2 days or we might give the battery to someone else.” Made an appointment for today. Waited, then the rep says they can’t do the repair because “the system we use to track repairs is down.” Me: “You have the part. You have my phone. But you can’t install it because the computer is down?” Poor guy — not his fault. But the geniuses running the Apple Store aren’t quite as smart as they like to pretend. This is NOT the future.
