  @IM_Pritchard @InternetH0F Allowing you to fix your battery instead of being forced into buying a new one is a good thing actually because a lot of manufacturers like apple will brick your phone if you attempt to fix it outside of a Apple Store

  @yonann Lost me at "Perception of Customer Support" Have a problem, go to Apple store and they handle it. W/ Apple Care no issues. PC, who do I go to? Best buy, where they upsell/run-around try to sell x. Time is your most valuable asset! *Cough

  The biggest problem with Unicorn is that they keep fake apple devices. All the apple devices you buy from them will have a super fast decline in battery health. I got the same device from Apple Store delhi and unicorn and the unicorn one I had to sell off within 6 months

  @MoshiMoshiMoan Ethan Ralph probably has less than $9000 US left. He probably sold the stolen MacBook to pay for *******. It should interesting when @scarletthampt0n decides to lock the stolen MacBook down preventing anyone from using it with MacOS. It would require a US Apple Store to unbrick it. With his temporary residency visa expiring, he may be back in the US soon.

  A man's iPhone battery was dying by 2 PM every day. But his Battery Health was at 99%. He constantly closed background apps. Turned down his brightness. Lived on Low Power Mode. The battery still melted like ice in the sun. He went to the Apple Store, ready to pay $89 for a battery replacement. The Genius Bar employee held up a hand: "Keep your money. Let me show you something." She opened Settings → Privacy & Security and sighed. "There are silent 'vampire' features bleeding your battery dry. Apple turns almost all of them on by default. Nobody tells you they exist. Let's fix it." Here's what she showed him in the next 8 minutes. 🧵

  This meme is supposed to be motivational… it’s actually bullshit. First of all it implies that 50% of people keep working at what they want to achieve. 1% is more like it. The other problem is that bro on the bottom gives up right before he succeeds. Thats optimistic too. Most people swing the axe one time and see it didn’t even break an inch off the wall and give up. People just do not want to do the volume that’s needed to succeed at anything. They think they want the result. They think they are willing to do the work. What they really want is the Instagram post. They want to appear to succeed. They want everything but doing what it takes. The reason I’m thinking about this today is that I just went through 236 revisions for the script of 1 video on a YouTube channel that hasn’t even launched yet. That’s after one channel took me 10 years to get to 100k subscribers. And despite all that boring tedious work swapping a single word for another… …I still don’t feel like it’s good enough and just had a thought on how I can make it better and am going to start over from zero. Most people give up when their first 30 second reel doesn’t make them Mr. Beast. Kobe Bryant used to take 800 to 1,000 made jumpshots a day in the offseason. Not taken. Made. He’d be in the gym at 4am doing the same boring movement thousands of times while the rest of the league slept. The 81 point games were built on ten thousand swings nobody saw. Steve Jobs scrapped the entire design of the first Apple Store when it was nearly finished, months of work, because he decided it was organized around products instead of around what people wanted to do. He started over. The redo became the most profitable retail on earth per square foot. Neither of them was a few inches from the diamonds getting lucky. They swung the axe an absurd number of times, hated a lot of the swings, and kept going anyway. So if you actually want to succeed at something, get ready to be bored. For a long time. Doing the same unglamorous reps long after it stopped being exciting and long before it started paying. Or, if you just want to look successful, take a photo of yourself, drop it into ChatGPT, and tell it to put you in front of a private jet. It’s gotten pretty good at that. Think Big

  The 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.

  A man noticed his iPhone kept showing “Storage Almost Full,” even though he barely had any photos. He deleted apps. Cleared messages. Removed downloads. But the warning kept coming back every couple of weeks. At one point, he was ready to walk into the Apple Store and buy a new iPhone. A Genius Bar employee stopped him and said: “Before you spend a thousand dollars, let me show you something.” She opened: Settings → General → iPhone Storage Then she shook her head and said: “There are 7 hidden things quietly eating your storage. They come turned on by default, and most people never notice them.” In the next few minutes, she showed him things like cached data, system files, old message attachments, background app storage, and other hidden space users don’t usually check. Within 8 minutes, everything became clear: The phone wasn’t the problem. The hidden storage usage was. And just like that… he didn’t need a new iPhone anymore.

  I feel like buying directly from the Apple Store gives you a better chance of getting a top-quality device. All my iPhones have been carted straight from the Apple Store, and my iPhone 15 and 17 are still at 100% battery health. Even my iPhone 11, which I’ve been using since 2019, is only down to 86% battery health.

  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

  12. The "Location-Based Alerts & Apple Ads" The Situation: You assume that seeing targeted ads is just the unavoidable cost of using the internet, and that occasional alerts from your phone are harmless and normal. The System Reality: Apple positions itself as a privacy-first company, but they still have a massive advertising business. Your phone is actively tracking your location, crossing digital geofences, and analyzing your proximity to retail locations to serve you geographically relevant Apple Store ads and location-based suggestions. The Technical Drain: Geofencing is expensive for a battery. The phone has to constantly calculate its distance from invisible barriers to know when to trigger an alert. It’s using your battery power to figure out how to market products to you more effectively. The Fix: Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → System Services → Toggle off "Location-Based Alerts", "Location-Based Suggestions", and "Apple Merchant ID". The Result: You completely sever the connection between your GPS hardware and Apple's internal marketing algorithms. You stop burning battery to get advertised to.

  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.

  Reclaiming Your Device The man walked out of the Apple Store that afternoon with his original battery still inside his phone and his eighty nine dollars still safely tucked into his pocket. A week later, he sent the Genius Bar worker a short message. He was finishing his entire work day with forty percent of his battery still remaining. He had not touched the Low Power Mode button a single time. We have somehow accepted a strange reality where we think our expensive modern devices just naturally degrade in a few short months. But the truth is much simpler than that. Tech companies design these phones to constantly harvest data, build their corporate networks, and serve their massive ecosystems silently in the background. They are actively using your hardware and your battery life to do their heavy lifting. Stop letting your own phone work against you. Take fifteen minutes tonight, sit down on the couch, and go through this list. You bought the phone to serve you, so make absolutely sure it actually does.

  @eko32eko7 @DrClownPhD @9mmsmg That's exactly what happened to me, there was an issue with my Apple ID and no amount of support tickets or going into an Apple store got it fixed. I finally got so frustrated that I switched to Android. At first I didn't like it but now I can't imagine going back.

  @yourtechguyyy That’s sucks! Getting a jobs nowadays is harder now due to tariffs and economy crisis. I hope, you do get hired in a better job somewhere else I have a job and is employed. Working at a retail store but it is not a Tech store and me and my mom works there. But I’m trying soo hard to quit that job because of the work load and the conditions that make me wanna leave 😭 Right now, I’m thinking of either working at the Apple Store or Best Buy but sadly, English is not my first language and I struggle to speak English fluently so no way I would be able to communicate with a customer, even tho I know how to fix a problem when it comes to Technology stuff Wishing you best of luck with getting the best jobs and I hope, one day, you’ll be employed and earn some cash and buy your dream house and car, plus Apple products too 🥹

  @Somniss Quality Indie games are the future. It's just super easy to make a prototype. Steam has to find a solution to this problem. Their market will turn into google play apple store at some point.

  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
