  @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…..

  I 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.

  I was chatting with an elderly friend recently. She said her husband locked his iPhone in error. They went to the Apple store. They couldn’t unlock it. Rather than wipe it, start over, they insisted on selling him a new phone. @Apple

  @LucianSkye I read the rice trick doesn’t work well because there will still be debris 😭 so it might make it worse…. The problem with the Apple Store is that it’s 5 years out of warranty- so I’m not sure how much they can actually do past telling me to buy a new computer :(

  Guess who has to bring her tablet into an apple store because the damn thing won’t stop shutting down and restarting for no reason 🤪 There’s at least $200 down the drain on a new battery (which I think is the main cause of the problems) if they do find something wrong with it 🤑

  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.

  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

  @Apple @AppleSupport If Apple sees this, yes, these are official Apple AirPods, brought from the online Apple Store. I have issues with them, but the Apple Support app is saying I can't get help with them?

  @Derceto00 @2_Old_4_Gaming @RetroGamer_Daz Why do y'all say this? Where is it a rental? Please show me where a game has been completely removed after a certain amount of time from someone's library? It's NOT a rental! You are buying a license! That license CAN be revoked but so can your driver's license. Does that mean you're only renting your car if you break the law and they take away your license to drive? No. You are the owner of that license along with the publishers that you acquired it from. That agreement WILL NOT BREAK as long as you don't break any of the TOS. even if they close down forever. You still get to keep your games. I'm sick of reading this rental nonsense because it's simply not true and not how this works. "but what about the 500 movies Sony took!" Movies are not games! Movies you get from a third party EXPLICITLY tells you that YOU DON'T OWN THIS! What you're buying is a license to view it from that third party as long as THEY have their license to carry that movie renewed. There's never a time you can show me in the EULA for games where they can just arbitrarily take games from you and that you're only renting them. It doesn't state that. Movies have licensing agreements in place with platforms like Fandango, Apple Store, Google Play Store, Movies Anywhere, etc, where they can carry those movies on your behalf as you buy the license to watch them on those platforms. The EULA explicitly says this to you. The ONLY way a digital movie is yours forever is if you bought it first hand from the studios that made it. That means when you purchase a movie from their own website, the DVDs and Blu-ray codes that come in the boxes, or they gave you a code to use directly. You still watch them on those platforms but if one of those platforms ever shut down? They are obligated to move your collection over to another "locker", which is what they call it in the EULA, OR give you the ability to download the movies so you keep them forever. They HAVE to do this as it is in their EULA and that's what they agreed on with you as the purchaser. Games? They don't have limited licenses like that, typically. You'll run into a licensed game from Marvel or DC or Star Trek, Nickelodeon, or licensed music, etc, and those games have limited licenses physically and digitally. That's why a lot of those games get delisted or they have to remove the music just like GTA had to do a few years ago. Delisting doesn't mean you can't play what you've bought though. That's what I need people to understand. Delisting is not de-platforming. It's not the same thing. I have purchased delisted games since 2017 and they are still ready for me to play digitally. You keep them. They just aren't available for purchase for anyone else that may want them digitally. Physical games get delisted and moved from store shelves all the time too. Deadpool is a great example of a game no longer in regular circulation and you can only really find it used for high prices on eBay. Effectively that game is out of commission because of that physically. Digitally? You can still play it if you bought it before they delisted it. It's not gone forever. It's there. I hope you really take time out to read all of this and try to understand that You've been misinformed on this stuff and that digital gaming is not what you've been thinking. There's some drawbacks just like there will be with physical games. The true issue needing addressing with all digital platform is the refund, trade, and selling policies that Sony has to change up. They will have to change them to match Steam because that's their direct competition now. I do think they will announce changes to those soon.

  My wife went to @Apple store to get my exchanged iPhone. No box, nothing. She had to take it out of the box which “is used to send back the broken iPhone”. What a nice customer service. I’ll pass over the fact that the guy was totally mansplaining her and she had to pay MY bill because Apple can’t find a way to send me a paiement link for me to pay it. When did Apple got so bad at customer care ?

  @Escargot4U @0x_Mattt The GME e-commerce issue was with regulation. Remember Gary Gendler was in charge at the time and heavy issues with the Apple Store. He was smart to scrub it back then. I think you’ll like Ryan. This guy picks up the phone and calls customers personally all the time.

  @devops_nk My magsafe charging gets paused after some time. I switched to type C and never faced any issue. Though get it checked from Apple store for any battery issues which are unlikely i believe Magsafe has always been a pain

  @devops_nk I had the same issue on my mbp m4. The official Apple Store diagnosed it as a motherboard failure. My warranty had expired, so it costed me 68k to repair. Since yours is still under warranty, I’d recommend taking it to Apple instead of trying temporary fixes.

  @apple, I am waiting for my refund check for the products I’ve paid inflated prices as you passed those tariffs down to your customers. Fortunately, I bought everything through the Apple Store and all the applicable transaction details should be on my account.

  @tim_cook, I never expected this from Apple. After an Apple Store visit and multiple support calls over months, I’m still being told my iPhone 17 Pro has “no issues” because they’re intermittent. This is unacceptable. Case #102876848444 @AppleSupport

  African AI has an economy problem. We don’t have an Apple Store in Nigeria. We don’t have that kind of purchase power. Until we create proper consumer purchasing power we will just be renting ambition from foreign capital. Data is where we are and we need to do that well to get to the next level.

  @ikemenoyume Eh !? Is this Villains all over again or whatー There always seem to be issues with the apple store 🫠🫠 Does that mean the game will still launch for android while apple users have to wait until it's approved (when it's not ready on time) ? 🤔
