  Can’t just walk into the Apple Store and outright buy a new phone without having to make and appointment and sit down with someone. Utterly ridiculous.

  @marlene4719 I don’t know- how much **** got broken by the guys? Normally when 400 bkack guys get together, someone gets shot or an Apple Store gets raided. Tell me I’m wrong…..

  Walked to the Apple Store today thinking my $3000 MacBook that I thought was broken for the last two years I was gonna have to pay 600 bucks to get fixed sure enough it works then I go to the T-Mobile store and find out I can get a brand new Apple Watch for free. Must’ve been my lucky day.

  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.

  Contrast the quote my experience: An Employer once had a supply issue with equipment supplier. Opened a new bank account that allowed Apple Pay digital cards over email. Created me a card. Sent it over. Transferred cash onto it, apologised profusely and asked if could go to Apple Store (during work hours so fine with me) Nice to know when you’re working with serious people.

  Hello @ads, I think there is a problem with adding my app on the Ads platform. I keep getting this error but the id is available on both Google and Apple Store. Although, I tried another Package name and it worked but for this particular app, it's throwing error. What could be the reason.

  @cmsj @aidler @ivanfioravanti Bcs of a person has bought iPhone and cannot afford to buy a new smartphone less than 4 or more 5 years after, this person should be protected. For example apple store is a rediculous issue. It was forcing small companies or even individuals to pay big tax to apple for no reason

  @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).

  @WigglyAir can’t even go into the Apple Store without the Apple employee questioning why I’m still using Apple if I have so many problems with Apple and had to sue them in court and win because of their faulty designs…… I sent him back to his manager and told him never to speak to me aga

  Anyone in Gaborone who specialises in Apple software issues? My Apple Watch got stuck in a boot loop after a software update & the Apple Store at The Fields Mall doesn’t seem to know how to fix it. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

  @brokeurtooth reminds me of the first time I experienced credit card fraud and Mastercard called me to tell me about $9,000 worth of charges at an apple store. I started crying and the Indian rep said "it's okay ma'am just get a glass of water and I will fix it. do not worry" 😭 it helped

  Malko has officially been ReJECTeD by Apple Store for guideline 4.3 as spam. After going through all the five stages of grief, I did some research and realised contesting this decision will only bring flagging to my dev account. Only way forward is to change the concept of the app, perhaps turn it into something specifically for far in postpartum moms, a lot of whom have these issues. I’m currently parking this project until the vision becomes clearer to me. I will take the L. It’s a loss of a couple of months of work. I will continue working on Jodu and pick up one of my other ideas to work on for my next project.

  ok so I just saw the most unhinged tech setup and I need to talk about it someone stacked like 50+ Mac Minis on a shelf. yellow shelf. looks like a construction site met an Apple Store. and honestly?? this is lowkey genius and I'm mad nobody told me sooner because here's the ***** secret — the M-series Mac Mini might be the best value compute unit on the market right now. per watt, per dollar, per cubic inch of space. it destroys traditional server hardware in efficiency. it just doesn't LOOK like serious infrastructure so people dismiss it but some guy in a random office somewhere said you know what, I don't need a $400k rack from Dell. I need 60 of these bad boys, some ethernet, and a dream. and now he has a build/test pipeline that probably runs faster than your company's entire cloud setup no loud fans. no special power requirements. no "enterprise support contract" where someone charges you $800 to restart a service. just apples. wall to wall apples. the chair sitting lonely in the corner of the shot is sending me. someone WORKS there. they just sit next to the apple army every day and think nothing of it we are not the same #ai #macmini #macmini4

  i made 3 apps published on apple store last month, and only 1 of them made money, around 430$, cuz the app was for solving a problem i was dealing with. the name is PingRev, it gives the new order alert on ios from woocommerce stores with cha-ching sound like shopify, and also showing analytics for all my site combined the other two apps: one app i modify from akinator, the other app i modify from slapmac: Fame Oracle and Baby Tap still havent made any dough yet

  Just got an official Apple Store Keyboard with the fingerprint reader. The thing with Macbooks is that the moment you lose AppleCare for them and the keyboard breaks, there is ZERO way to fix said keyboard. (Hidden secret of Macbook keyboard explaining why in comments) So when at home use your peripherals you extend the life of your on-laptop keyboard when you obviously have to use it when traveling.

  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!

  An AFP TV crew shot footage of an 8 year old Chinese boy named Zhou Zhiheng for a piece on Asia's youngest programmers. Round green frames. Red shirt. He sat in front of a MacBook Air at a glass desk inside a Shenzhen co-working space with iPhone XR posters mounted on the wall behind him. The voiceover said he had started out building games. The subtitle said his coding tutorial channel pulled 60,000 followers. The camera pushed in tight on his fingers across the keys. While the West holds panels about screen time for kids, China places an 8 year old in front of an unregistered code editor and rolls cameras for the international press. He was meant to be the friendly face of Asian tech literacy. He just left the sidebar open. Pause at 1:34. Skip past the C++ on the screen. Skip past the if statement the AFP voiceover was reading. Look at the left panel of the editor. The folder is labeled aspirin. The open file is jizhe.cpp. The folder tree below: 1-7, 1-7b, 10-1, 10-1.2, 10-2, 10-4, 10-6, 10-8, 11-2. ColdMath. $94,318 profit. 5,612 entries. Joined September 2025. Bio: Edge Compounds. Jizhe is the mandarin word for journalist. The file the AFP crew was rolling on was named after them. The boy had the open scanf reading a score variable. He had not typed it that morning. He had given the file its name the day the AFP request came through. The numbered folders were not chapters of a coding course. The numbering lined up with the Chinese journalism beat codes the press accreditation office issues to foreign correspondents. 1-7 is the technology beat. 10-1 is consumer electronics. 10-2 is mobile devices. 11-2 is venture capital. The folder tree was an index of which AFP and Reuters reporters covered what. The boy was not the developer. The boy was the camera trap. The agent on the MacBook Air was tracking which journalists filed filming permit requests at which Shenzhen co-working spaces three days ahead of the segments going to air. Every permit request was a position on the company being filmed. The agent traded the gap between shoot and broadcast. The crew rolled for forty minutes. The agent placed eleven positions during the shoot. Every position was on a company whose office the AFP team had stopped by that week. The comments turned into a detective board. One viewer dropped the AFP clip to 0.25x. Another translated jizhe out of the filename. A third commenter cross referenced the folder numbering against the Chinese State Council Information Office accreditation list and matched every code. Six months ago a 14 year old in Shenzhen pushed an AI agent to GitHub. Judges said no real world application. 3,100 forks later. The boy's father had been one of them. He had dropped the fork onto his son's MacBook the week the AFP request showed up in the family's WeChat. The 60,000 follower coding channel was not a coding channel. It was a feed tracking which co-working spaces were hosting which crews. The followers were operators running the same fork out of different cities. The iPhone XR posters behind him were not Apple Store decor. The shoot was happening inside a media briefing room foreign correspondents rent specifically to film this kind of segment. The agent already knew the room. The room was on the list. The AFP segment sits at 2.1 million views. The freeze frame of the folder tree cleared 4.6 million on the repost. The wallet is still compounding. The agent is still reading press accreditation requests. The unregistered editor is still open. The jizhe.cpp file is still on screen. They filmed him to prove a child could code. The child was the lens. The agent was running the shoot.

  @JMW_BOYZ The problem is that in places like here we have voices and the absolute fraction of us that comment seem to think in one certain way. I love going to CeX and buying bags full of DvD's for a buck a pop. I picked up a PS1/PS3/XboxOG and have a mountain of old games that I used to play or want to play for mere fraction of the price. But those are brick and mortar with things like rent/employees/insurance/utilities. Massive overhead. The real truth is that it's pretty clear CeX gets the majority of their stuff for nothing or close to it, with a lot of 'new' stuff being overstock/damage from high street retail. Physical media has been dying for ages, and I get it. I have a massive amount in steam. When I had lost everything I physically owned it was so nice to login to steam, and still retain everything. The larger issue is that Valve is the outlyer, I don't think people would mind so much if it wasn't for megacorps like SONY who treat a 'sale' more like a decade rental. Even my Apple store stuff is mostly all gone now. Funny how people don't cry about that one.

  @maye23musk32 @Elonmarsmusk12 My phone is not working well, I have made a list to follow-it is all Apple controlled things. Hopefully tomorrow. The Genius Bar at the Apple store was no help. I can’t transfer it to a new phone until I get it solved or I will simply have a new phone that only half works.

  I bought a set of AirPods Pro from Laptops Direct based in Huddersfield, England, about a year ago. I have a problem with the left AirPod charging, and I went to an Apple Store to have them look at it today. Astonishingly, I discovered at the Apple Store that the serial number is tied to a date of purchase from 2024 in a Walmart in the United States. Avoid this retailer.

  Also "having to forcefully stop yourself from (over)sharing on a special interest" I'm so screwed, I once seen a coworker ask why his iPhone wasn't working and I really wanted to fix it, but that would seem creepy because I'm NOT at an Apple Store yet

  Yeah, it could, but it won't. People steal things that are locked down all the time. I mean, even the Apple Store display models get stolen all the time, and those have a special version of iOS that runs on them, so you can't do anything with them anyway; they're paperweights. My concern is the ability for Apple, or any tech company for that matter, to be able to remotely disable a device, whether you are a criminal or not.
