  @Apple @AppStore @AppleSupport I don't think it's professional that waiting 3 days to get a response on Apple Store Connect support. This's doesn't fit Apple so far! The iOS app has been in review for almost a week and I'm keep messaging back and forth about changes has been done and still getting some issues from no where. The team reaches out ever 3 days!!! So I need someone from Apple Store Management to get this through.

  Your iPhone has shortcuts Apple never told you about. You've owned it for years and used maybe two of them. A former Apple Store Genius who spent 5 years teaching customers how to use their phones said the same thing happened every day: a customer would come in with a problem that a built-in shortcut already solved. Editing text. Undoing mistakes. Scanning documents. Switching apps. Selecting multiple items. All solvable with a gesture nobody taught them. "Apple builds shortcuts into every corner of iOS and never puts them on the box. There's no tutorial. There's no pop-up tip. There's no guided walkthrough. You either discover them by accident, hear about them from a friend, or use your phone for 5 years without knowing your keyboard is a trackpad, your back panel is a button, and three fingers can undo anything." He said most iPhone owners interact with their phone the slow way tapping, scrolling, switching between apps one at a time when a gesture, a shortcut, or a hidden feature could do the same thing in half the time. "You're doing 40 taps a day that could be 10. The shortcuts are already on your phone. Nobody showed you." Here are the 9:

  A little different from what I usually do👨🏾‍💻 After deploying the apps to both the Play Store and Apple Store, and while waiting for the frontend production team to catch up with me, I decided to spend some time on the other side of development. Currently testing the web application, going through reported bugs, validating fixes, reporting new issues, creating and assigning Jira tickets to engineers, and following up to make sure everything gets resolved properly. Not just building anymore… making sure what we build actually works. 🦅

  @realMAG1775 Kids each have a Neo. Yes, you pay the "Apple Tax" premium but the **** just works.... I don't need to play IT guy.... If they do have issues they go into the nearest Apple Store and it's promptly taken care of. With my Dell it's endless cycles with Indian support idiots who can't even spell DELL.

  Most people in crypto are still chasing the next 10x narrative while completely missing what’s actually being built right now. $GARLY is building something unique and new. 99% of crypto projects that are born are larps/farms and often copy and paste just to farm and that’s it. Pure crap. People buy in FOMO projects that are only pump and dump — as we just saw with solana:HmTi3CQfKfXWbn1tNoiAxH7GzMV7L3tDAmPWabZEBAGS , which went from 4 million market cap down to 200k in just 3/4 days. Meanwhile it fades solid projects with legit teams that are developing something unique like $GARLY. $GARLY isn’t another recycled narrative. It’s the first real AI personal safety companion in crypto — privacy-first, proactive, and designed for the exact moment you can’t press a button. No other crypto project is doing this. The only real competitors are traditional companies already valued in the billions. Meanwhile the problem @appGarly is solving affects billions of people worldwide. Holders are growing every single day. The team is shipping real updates almost daily: • App submitted for final Google Play review • Apple Store (iOS) setup starting now • Jupiter verification submitted (likes needed to fast-track) • Premium version coming soon (name chosen by the community) • 30 automated test suites + 1532 checks, zero failures This is what an actual category-defining project looks like when it’s still early. Don’t sleep on it at just ~150k Mcap now. Millions are coming. $Garly 🧄💎

  @ITalkOfChrist It absolutely looks like some redesigned fast food joint. I stand by what I said. If they went this way, we’d be known for building beautiful temples and boring modernist chapels somewhere between an Apple Store and the sleek new McDonald’s down the road.

  9. He replaced the battery himself in 30 seconds — and learned the AirTag is designed to last forever. The AirTag uses a standard CR2032 coin cell battery — the same battery in most watches, calculators, and garage door remotes. Available at any pharmacy, grocery store, or gas station for $3-$5. Battery life: approximately 1 year under normal use. How to replace it: Press down on the stainless steel back of the AirTag and twist counterclockwise. The back pops off. Remove the old battery. Drop in a new CR2032 (positive side up). Twist the back on. Done. 30 seconds. No charging cable. No charging pad. No proprietary battery. No trip to the Apple Store. No subscription renewal. A $3 battery swap once a year — and the AirTag runs for another 12 months. He set a calendar reminder: "Replace AirTag batteries" once a year in January. He buys a 10-pack of CR2032 batteries for $8. He replaces all 7 AirTags in under 4 minutes. Annual maintenance cost for his entire AirTag system: $8. Compare this to competitors: Tile trackers: some models have non-replaceable batteries. When the battery dies (1-3 years), you buy a new tracker. Tile's subscription service ($3/month) adds premium features that AirTags include for free. Samsung SmartTag: replaceable battery, but runs on Samsung's Find network — roughly 200 million devices versus Apple's 2 billion. Smaller network means less accurate and less frequent location updates. Apple AirTag: $29 upfront. $3/year in batteries. $0 subscription. Access to a 2-billion-device tracking network. No expiration date. The same AirTag you buy today works in 2030, 2035, and beyond — as long as you swap a $3 battery once a year. "The AirTag doesn't expire. It doesn't need upgrading. It doesn't have a subscription. You buy it once, replace a $3 battery every January, and it protects everything you own — forever."

  Faced a similar issue at the Apple Store recently. Opted for credit card EMI on a MacBook, but the entire amount was billed upfront in one go. The store blamed it on the bank rejecting the backend EMI conversion. Credit card EMI processing in retail is notoriously messy.

  @fwaevon I recently went through this. The smiling kid at the mall kiosk offered to fix my cracked screen for $60 but had to disclose it would void my warranty with Apple. So I went to the Apple store and paid their price. I guess I passed the loyalty test, at least this time.

  I wonder how best to share my experience I fear if I did it real time for content It would be hours and hours and hours of me accomplishing minuscule things. Maybe I need time lapse videography for this. I would attach the photo that tells you how Apple won't let me rotate the settings screen or the Apple Store screen, but there's a really easy way that I could manage the selections of the menu in the top half of the screen using the accessibility voiceover feature and that just gives me like 10 steps to follow SMH, I am pretty sure I will try and do it through the laptop and sign in through the cloud and then go to subscriptions because it sounds easier than the 10 steps that I wish I could attach in a photo but then I can't hit the button to finish the attachment because you have the top half of the phone touchscreen won't work and.... I need to check how many days Walmart is giving me before I have to return this device because I just wanna make sure I could do everything in the cloud that needs to be done or that I do everything on the device that I'm supposed to before I send it backs.... I am completely accepting advice from everyone and anyone who has 100% dissociated from Apple, not just switched providers but made sure that they did not leave any data in the cloud behind

  Here's what she told me at the end: Apple operates over 500 retail stores in 26 countries. They generate more revenue per square foot than any other retailer in the world. But the money isn't what makes them different. It's what happens inside them that most customers never experience. Free diagnostics that catch $99 problems before they become $2,000 replacements. Free workshops that teach photography, video, music, and coding every day, in every store. A trade-in program that turns old devices in any condition into instant credit. Education pricing that saves students and teachers hundreds of dollars. Personal Shopping Sessions that build your perfect setup with zero pressure. A Small Business Team that configures, deploys, and manages devices for companies. A Self Service Repair program that ships genuine parts and professional tools to your home. An app with AR shopping, video consultations, and express checkout. And a 14-day return policy that lets you live with a product risk-free. Most customers walk in, buy something, and walk out. They never book a workshop. They never schedule a diagnostic. They never check their trade-in value. They never ask for education pricing. They never meet the Business Team. They never know about Self Service Repair. They never try the return policy on a purchase they're unsure about. "Apple built the highest-revenue retail stores on earth not by selling harder, but by offering more. The selling happens because the services build trust. Most customers access 10% of what the store offers. The other 90% is sitting there free, available, and waiting for someone to walk up and ask." She said the 9 services above are available right now at your nearest Apple Store. Most of them require nothing more than walking in and asking. Some require a quick online booking. None of them cost anything beyond the products themselves. The store didn't change. What you know about it did. And that's the difference between someone who buys from Apple and someone who actually uses an Apple Store.

  If this changes how you use the Apple Store or saves you $229 with an education discount you didn't know existed one ask: Repost the first post so the next person buying a MacBook at full price sees the price match, the trade-in, the free workshops, and the discount they qualify for. Follow [ @jackcoder0 ] I break down the hidden services, retail secrets, and money-saving strategies that companies bank on you not asking about.

  The uncomfortable truth. Apple ships the Apple Watch with every feature enabled because the spec sheet is the sales pitch. "Always-On Display. Continuous heart rate. Environmental noise monitoring. Blood oxygen. Temperature sensing." Every feature justifies the price tag. Every feature sounds essential on the product page. But every feature also drains the battery. And Apple rates the watch at 18 hours with "normal use" a definition they control by choosing which features count as "normal." When your watch dies at 2 PM, Apple doesn't say "you have too many features running." They say "the battery lasts 18 hours." When your battery health drops to 80% after 2 years, Apple doesn't say "your charging habits degraded the cells." They offer a $79 replacement or a $449 upgrade. Apple makes money when your battery degrades. They make money when you upgrade. They do not make money when you change 9 settings and keep the same watch for 5 years. The guy who charges every other day and the guy who charges twice a day own the exact same device. Same chip. Same battery. Same hardware. One of them opened Settings. The other opened the Apple Store. "Your Apple Watch doesn't have a battery problem. It has a settings problem. And the company that sold it to you has no incentive to tell you the difference." 9 settings. 7 minutes. Same watch. Twice the battery. The watch was never dying. It was just running a marathon with every feature Apple could strap to its back.

  6. Free data transfer and setup the service most buyers decline and then struggle alone. When you buy a new iPhone, iPad, or Mac at the Apple Store: the staff will transfer your data from your old device, set up the new one, and walk you through the key features. Free. Most customers say "no thanks, I'll set it up at home" then spend 3 hours figuring out data transfer, re-downloading apps, re-entering passwords, and troubleshooting iCloud sync issues. The Apple Store setup takes 20-30 minutes. They do it while you browse. They transfer contacts, photos, apps, and settings from your old device. They pair your Apple Watch. They configure Face ID. They verify iCloud backup. For seniors and less tech-savvy buyers: the in-store setup eliminates the most frustrating part of a new device. You walk in with an old phone. You walk out with a new phone fully set up, fully loaded, fully working. For Mac buyers: the staff transfers files, settings, and applications from your old Mac to the new one using Migration Assistant. Everything transfers. Even your desktop wallpaper.

  So I asked the Apple Store technician the same question again: "Do these settings activated by default really protect the user... or are they slowly wearing down the device?" He didn't have an answer. But every iPhone he checked that day had exactly the same 2 options ACTIVATED. Silently heating up in their owners' pockets.
