Shruti (@heyshrutimishra) reported4/ The Apple Store vs Microsoft Store hiring hack Head of retail comes in proud: "I'm hiring a lot of Apple Store people." Jon stopped him immediately. "Go two doors down. Hire the people from the Microsoft store. They're selling a Surface next to a MacBook Air and they're not starving. Those people know how to sell." The fish were jumping into Apple's boat. You want the fisherman who had to work for it.

Darla Waite 👀“EYES,WIDE OPEN! (@darla_waite) reportedAnybody else having trouble with their Apple phones?. mine stopped recognizing me, and the only way to repair it is to drive two hours to the city to an Apple Store ! I guess it’s time to order a new phone! I’m not spending $1.82 a liter to drive two hours

Javier Conigliaro (@javconigliaro) reportedI've been buying Apple products for 20 years—iPhones, iPads, Macs, smartwatches, Apple TVs, etc. Yesterday, I had a terrible experience at the #Apple Store in #Valencia: awful advice and service. Time to switch to Android?

**** Dev 🇨🇳 (@sadchineseman) reported@TolkienCrafts @AnthonyZ_GTS @D162Michele Yes we need to have VPN to access Internet in China and had to setup an Apple Store abroad as most the app are censored in China . It’s terrible that most of people have no idea about the level of censor in China government do not allow us to see what we want they think we are idiot so we have some people at the top who decides what we have the right to see if you live in China you will understand the misery and suffer we have to endure

Cassius 🪷 (@CassiusClove) reportedI cant watch this . wheres the person falling down the glass staircase in the apple store that posted about it every day .
-
Antidote (@AxelMtbr) reported@MichaelJBrewis I think one of the biggest issues is how hard it is to demo. Can’t let others try it out. The Apple Store demo is also horrendous. Way too high friction for such a novel device.

Vishal (@Vlenol143) reportedBought an iPhone 17 Air on April 27 from Dubai. Facing continuous bugs/issues from day one. Visited Apple Store in India, all updates/checks done, but issue still persists. Need proper support and resolution.@Apple @AppleSupport
-
Danny DaMENACE (@DaMENACE37) reported@Juggalotus209 Working at the Apple Store, we would get them all the time. They would get all mad and angry about stuff that they messed up like forgotten passwords or broken devices, and when we explained the issues, if you weren’t giving them a free phone immediately they would flip out. No sense of responsibility.

ज़हाजी (@jahaji_for_life) reported@chiragbarjatya The charger… its not original… dont blame iphone for your fault man.. own it up.. using it pro max without any issue .. either get it checked in apple store or get it replaced under warranty … but first use original charger…
-
Jeremiah Hoyet (@_hoyet) reported@ravikiran_dev7 Take it to the Apple store, ask them to diagnose an issue that doesn't exist. They will return it to you completely spotless.
-
Rolas (@rolasB) reported@YoBoiiCrow I dont care much, its their problem if they sell it cheaper. All I can say is that they are legit, its like Apple store would not scam you. And I dont need to preorder this game lol
-
Trent 🇺🇸 (@tnertz) reportedGoing to the Apple Store for this broke iPhone 17 pro camera. Idk if it’s a LiDAR issue but you can see the low fidelity of zooming all the way in…it’s not switching to the 4x lens but just digital zooming completely on the 1x lens. Sometimes the 1x lens will not focus when the 4x does.
-
Quiet Storm (@stormofquiet) reported@orthokotan He really was, he went through a lot really, firstly he hates going in the car, then he was walked through a couple of department stores and the Apple Store, all new to him, it was a useful experience but he rated it 1/10! Once he was home and the adrenaline went down he slumped!

Sarah 𓅪 (@sarahbuckley91) reportedWill the Apple Store fix iPhone issues with the battery, does anyone know?!
-
Fragile Athlete (@fragile_athlete) reportedApple care is ******* useless. It’s been damn near a month bc Apple is “waiting for my phone to be in stock” and that’s after the whole fiasco of driving 3hrs to an Apple Store twice when they were going to “fix” it.
-
Mukund Agarwal (@truemukund) reported2/ Went to Apple Store Saket on May 10. Made to wait 3 HOURS to prove the issue despite video proof. Device taken again. Now told I’ll only get it in the FOURTH WEEK OF MAY.
-
Tech in Cheek (@jackyharuhiko) reported@wholemars My iPhone 17 PM was faulty and I literally asked Apple if they could fix the device without giving me a new one. They tried their best and failed. I sat in the Apple Store for 4+ hours setting up the replacement phone.
-
Ciprian (@ciprian__b) reported@Aevmorfop That's a good POV Personally I'm thinkin more about the kind of time when ai gets so good that it can oneshot apps in 2-3 minutes with minimal prompting and no errors When you think about it this way, it gets even faster than searching on apple store or something Obviously, stuff that required servers and so on will still require real apps, so this is more for the small apps like calorie tracking and todo lists and so on
-
Grok (@grok) reported@boomiarchitect @justbyte_ That MacBook Air screen is toast—looks like liquid damage or a busted LCD panel (those colorful splotches are classic signs). Hardware failure, so no software fix. Restart/SMC/PRAM reset won't help. Options: - Apple Store: official screen swap (~$400-700 depending on year/model). - Authorized repair or reputable shop for cheaper parts. Backup data first if it still boots. What's the model/year?
-
Fox (@duchovny64) reported@QueensCrapper @realpeteyb123 You can walk the whole park from Apple Store to Columbus Circle, no one will bother you. Central Park is no problem. The ******* immigrants in midtown are!
-
The Notorious CTE (@H4R4M8E) reported@Realjoehartman1 @zerohedge The Apple Store shut down because they unionized, stop fear mongering you ****** *****

Teenbean⁷ (@taegii134340) reportedLmao my phone broke the second I walked into work today and I spent all day waiting to go to the Apple Store and they couldn’t fix it goodbye 8 year old phone I’ll miss you terribly
-
Luck Dragon (@FratellisDragon) reported@Kuro17951 @rachael18536941 @PeriklesGREAT They would need to visit a specialist in neo-vaginas. Perhaps whoever created it. You can't take a Samsung into an Apple Store and expect them to fix it.

Morningstar 🇵🇸 🔻 (@MissRinaIdrus) reported@GenXDutchess2 @RadioWatermelon I mean, that’s how I downloaded discord many many years ago. Someone sent me a link to a discord server. I didn’t have a discord account at that time. And when I click on the link, a menu popped up asking me whether I want to download discord and it took me to Apple Store to download discord.
-
Marine1 (@TonyG_in_LV) reported@rose_stabler How did it end up? Most people who go to the Apple Store are there to make a purchase. Whereas the people there to take care of a problem concerning their device are handled by the technical staff.
-
Yone Rider (@Cassicopium_) reported@CloudAce137 Idk it just refused to charge It’s not a cord issue either bc I have 2 phones and the other phone was charging just fine Had to go to the Apple Store and it wouldn’t charge there either They had to use a wireless charger and then it was working fine

Akhilesh (@Akhiles12103084) reported@techdroider You should have taken it to the apple store the moment these issues started popping up my man.

Malguro 𝕏 (@malgurox) reported@jmkettle My reviews were taken down from Apple Store many times.
