  @the_transit_guy Down that same stretch you also have the Apple Store and the Boylston entrance of the Prudential Center. It’s hardly an outlier let’s be serious. “Just a block for Newbury” means nothing. It’s not Newbury.

  For Real Apple really needs to level up there Apple Store Connect platform. Everyday something is broken. I have been trying to get into the Integration page for a day now, it just shows that there is a error and the whole page reloads.

  @badlyer123 @grok I don’t use a case. Anytime my phone has been damaged, in the rare case that happens I go to the Apple Store and they fix it and I leave.

  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.

  @Svntvmvriv Fix the bugs on the app in the Apple Store. It messes up every time you switch between watching streamers or if you click out of the app you lose the emotes and have to close and reopen it.

  Almost doubled revenue in the past 28 days. Here's what I did ↓ The early weeks/months of your app are all about gathering data so set yourself up for that using Sentry for error tracking Posthog for session playback and tracking usage I had posthog hooked up to every step in my onboarding so i can see where people drop off This meant the step needed to be removed or improved. I could see what features in my app people kept gravitating towards so from a product standpoint I knew what I had to iterate/improve the experience of I hired a Fiverr pro to handle the setup of Apple Store Ads campaigns one optimized for conversion globally just so I can get eyes on my app More users = more data = more information for iteration Apps are science experiments Just because something doesn't succeed at first doesn't mean you failed. It just means you found another thing to iterate on.

  @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.

  @EduMock I’ve been trying to make this app for myself but am not a good enough coder. Great stuff ! This app will be huge if Apple Store buys it. My apps problems have been consistently scanning and pulling up the right card.

  As great as the iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 betas have been, the watchOS 27 beta is atrocious. Siri doesn’t work for HoneKit controls and it’s super slow for checking weather and other things compared to iOS and iPadOS 27. I might have to take a trip to the Apple Store to revert my watch back.

  📰 News of the day — August 16, 2026: ✦ DefiLlama has postponed its mobile app launch due to phishing apps on the Apple Store: DefiLlama's founder revealed that the company delayed its mobile app release while addressing the issue of phishing apps impersonating it on the Apple App Store. After documenting a fraudulent app draining funds from a crypto wallet, Apple promptly removed it. The founder emphasized the importance of ensuring all fake apps were eliminated to protect users from scams before the official launch of DefiLlama's app.

  @DylanMcD8 I remember the first time I saw this phone. Wasn't convinced to get it until I saw a friend who had it face down on a table and asked him what that was. Within an hour I was at the Apple store getting ready to shelf my Palm Treo which I had just recently switched to from a BB.

  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.

  If you bought an iPhone and think paying extra for AppleCare means @Apple will take care of you when the battery becomes practically unusable, think again. Apple’s position is simple: if your battery capacity has not dropped below 80%, they will not cover the battery replacement under AppleCare. My own experience has been extremely disappointing. After almost two years of using my iPhone, the battery has degraded so badly that it can no longer last a full day outside under normal usage. When the phone was new, the same kind of usage could easily last me around two days. I went to the Apple Store. I raised the issue with Apple Support. I formally complained and escalated the case. In the end, the answer was still the same: policy is policy. If the battery is above 80%, replacement is out of pocket. What frustrates me most is the complete lack of regard for the actual user experience. Apparently, it does not matter how badly the battery performs in real life. It does not matter how much the battery has deteriorated. As long as that number on the screen has not crossed Apple’s magic 80% line, the answer is no. So much for paying for AppleCare and expecting meaningful support when the product has clearly degraded. Very disappointed with Apple. @tim_cook

  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.

  BTW, a release of a myth banner is actually a great time to **** up a game's reach on the appstore by giving scathing 1 star reviews on Apple Store/Google Play. Logging in shows there's want for the game but bad reviews shows that there's game management issues. #NoValkoNoMoney

  Apple is not doing well at all, what the actual hell? Bought three MacBook Airs a week ago for my team members and almost forgot about it. Why did we unbox them like a kid on Christmas day, only to discover that two of them straight up had NO power adapters in the box. Just the laptop sitting there looking pretty and completely useless. I called the supplier and he's telling me two must be EU/UK and they don't ship with chargers, only US ship with adapters. Werey even sent me bill for two chargers immediately. What is all the nonsense “in the name of compliance” or whatever eco-friendly PR stunt? Where exactly do you expect me to magically pull chargers from @AppleSupport ? Thin air? The nearest Apple Store at 2 a.m.? Or My neighbor’s junk drawer? This is such a **** move. Paying full price for three machines and you’re making me run around hunting for bricks like it’s 2010. Ship every ******* box with adapter or fix your packaging and least slap a warning on the box. Ridiculous.

  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. 🦅

  You'll make WAY more money if you stop trusting something because it makes sense IN THEORY Getting plenty of comments sounds great IN THEORY, but 99% of them are almost always tirekickers and don't indicate potential buyers Selling at top of funnel after using spray and pray content sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize top of funnel content is outside a funnel so its guaranteed to attract mainly people who would never pay you Shipping new product updates publicly sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize other people with more experience can now clone your offer in 1 hour and market it better (you are also just procrastinating instead of making money) Giving up after 20 DM/Cold Emails sounds great IN THEORY, until you learn statistically you will make no money unless you send 650-1000 Doing lifestyle marketing with Ferrari's and Penthouses and Private Jets sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize that just makes you look like a moron Making your entire goal retiring your parents sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize not everyone has poor third world country parents Hiring early sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you have no idea how to write an SOP, and nobody will ever be as good as you at your job in the early stages Depending the Apple Store to make software sales sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you are now dependent on a system that can remove you whenever they want for whatever reason (and you still have zero idea how to drive traffic yourself, make sales yourself, or build a customer acquisition system yourself) Earning all your income from YouTube views sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize there's a 21 year old selling ebooks on Instagram borrowing traffic who's lapping you in profit every month (and unlike you if he loses a YouTube channel he doesn't lose all his income) Building a landing page using a framer template/lovable sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you maximized aesthetics and destroyed your conversion rate (because you have zero idea how to write actual copy and now your site looks like a clone of every other landing page) Spending $200k on a ******* dance theory degree sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you just blew $200k you could have spent 5% of that on a mentor and hit $30k/mo in just 1 year Posting "Insane Value" on the timeline sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you are sophisticating the market and years from now you're going to see all the sh#t you charged thousands of dollars for are now common sense and available everywhere for free Reading 100 Books every year sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize most of the OG books teach the same fundamentals, and you could easily have absorbed all their most important lessons using Notebooklm over night instead of spending 365 days reading platitude drivel and irrelevant personal stories they put in between the actual value inside the book Being afraid to pay for high quality help sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize the broke guy who saved up the $600-$5k and invested in a good mentor is now making $30k/mo, and you're still under $2k/mo despite starting at the same time Posting mainly platitude drivel every single day to drive impressions toward your middle of funnel sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize everyone now thinks you're ret#rded because you don't seem to have an original thought about anything whatsoever (stop trying to be Kieran Drew, Dan Koe, or Justin Welsh) Not following your mentor's instructions sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize the only reason you're doubting yourself is because you don't have his/her experience, and because they already went through that self doubt and figured it out anyway, you not listening to them is the only reason you are not making money We solve every single one of these problems and bottlenecks in DPU btw (no audience required) Godspeed, Ian
