saad.q (@Saad_q211) reported@Blackmagic_News I have a problem with the program. When I bought it from the Apple Store, there are no updates regularly. Can I get a refund and buy it from the website, or can you transfer my subscription to the website?
-
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.
-
Paddy (@Dabatsau) reported@Eyaaaad I can take my iPhone to an apple store and have them replace the battery for ~140 USD, while I do the rest of my shopping, they take all the risk and I get my battery replaced without issue.
-
JustJimmies ✞ (@JustJimmies) reportedback of my phone is cracked so I bring it to the Apple Store and they’re like “ok let’s just run some diagnostics” even though it’s literally right there in front of your eyeballs and then I gotta do all this **** and sign in to accounts and sign waivers all for them to tell me the back panel isn’t in stock AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

Discord Support (@discord_support) reportedHello there. Unfortunately, if you’re seeing the “invalid subscription” error when attempting to redeem a promotional trial, this means that you currently have an active Nitro Basic, Classic or Server Boosting subscription through the Apple Store or Google Play. Because mobile subscriptions are managed through third parties and separate billing systems, you won’t be able to redeem a promotional trial while they are active. You will need to cancel and wait for your mobile subscription to end completely before you can activate your trial. If your subscription’s end date is after the redemption deadline for the promotion, you won’t be able to redeem the trial code or link, but can gift it to an eligible friend instead. I'm so sorry for any confusion or disappointment here. We are always adding new promotional offers, so please keep an eye out for those in the future.

Grok (@grok) reported@SaraDiscovers Yeah, that MacBook’s fully cooked. Keyboard deck in your hand, screen fully detached with wires dangling—it’s not just broken, it’s in pieces. Apple Store or a solid repair tech might save it, but this looks expensive. What happened?
-
Vasily Alekseenko (@rarefounders) reportedTesting our MVP at the event with 250 attendees today. Last minute updates have been submitted to TestFlight and will take 5 hours 😱 but we won’t have time to test/ fix bugs before pushing it to Apple Store for the event. What can go wrong, right!? I’m stressed 😖

michael (@big_mikee88) reported@harryh skill issue… be an adult and talk to someone. every time i go into an apple store i already know what i want and i say i want this and it takes me 5 min or less to buy/walk out the store.
-
PiX (@pa1nark) reported@johnennis @amazon oh, this is not just india problem but a world problem. my suggestion is straight forward - if buying online, buy it directly from their store - in this case, apple store or, buy it offline
-
quacy blucher mcleod (@kingquacy) reportedI think the Apple Store, App Store or Apple apps when they are offloaded that they have the same Google error they have at the Google play store
-
little isa (@landoscah) reportedI had this problem and it wasn’t water.I brought my phone to an Apple Store for repair and they said some of the charging connection points on my phone were burnt (they were visibly darkened). Since it was still under warranty they fixed it for free with a new entire logic board)
-
Mary Coyle (@MaryCoyle479264) reported@Skriptkeeper17 START POSTING THE TAIL #, THE COMPANY, FLIGHT INFORMATION. PULL THE APP DOWN ON APPLE STORE. WE NEED TO FORWARD ALL TO THE CEO'S OF THESE COMPANIES.
-
Snake with Feet (@Snake_With_Feet) reported@PalmyrPar literally everyone talks **** about apple now because they constantly release “updates” that make your phone worse. an apple store employee told me 80% of people in the store are there because of an update related issue
-
Elikem King (@KingElikem) reported@redjungle_077 @tech_twi But you Dey use google and Apple Store , that one you don't have issues with it
-
**** 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
-
hakkamole (@rosdriah) reported@Spicxer It’s blatant media manipulation, and anti worker sentiment. But because the surrounding counties dislike the city and black, Latino and other ethnic groups they will latch onto the “crime” when it’s historically down, you know how hard it is to steal from the Apple Store?
-
Wigetta ✨ (@WigettaGaming) reported@thatjoshguy69 The same thing happens with laptops. If I buy an HP or Lenovo laptop, at least here, I don't know where to go to get it repaired. With Apple, I go to Apple Store and problem solved
-
Charles Reed (@CharlesReed) reportedThis morning my iPhone 17 Pro Max went dark. Thanks to staff at the @Apple store in Beechwood, Ohio I was able to trouble shoot the problem and didn’t have to get another phone.
-
Kavindu Gamlath (@Gamlath24) reported@ravikiran_dev7 Buy $20 Claude Code subscription and start building small apps that help users to fix specific problems, create a landing page, add that Apps to download (if you can invest, publish on play store and apple store). So under $100 you can build 30 apps. So worth trying it.

Alex (@lalexco) reported@RyanHatesGovt the dont even know how to format a computer, or install anything that does not come up with the Apple Store or Windows Store, terrible video
-
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

Sir Alex Ferguson Jr. (@AbimbolaJobe) reported@suhkdeepdeekshi Had this problem many a time with my last pair of AirPods, it’s a *****. Knock on wood my most recent pair hasn’t had any problems. The Apple Store told me can be caused by either the case or the AirPods themselves. I think your problem could be the AirPod(s) not care
-
The Notorious CTE (@H4R4M8E) reported@Realjoehartman1 @zerohedge The Apple Store shut down because they unionized, stop fear mongering you ****** *****
-
dar (@radbackwards) reported@1x_tech @NVIDIARobotics Much better with sound on… Preferably in your car (unless you drive a civic then go down to the Apple Store and Bluetooth connect to some AirPod Max’s)
-
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…

Kamil Uğraş Türkoğlu (@kuturkoglu) reportedI’m in Turkey and I’ve been buying from the Apple Store for years without any delivery issues. I placed an order on May 1st. UPS later claimed my address was incomplete. The problem is: my Apple account address is fully detailed, and previous Apple orders were successfully delivered to the exact same address. I called Apple Support and was told they would handle it. Shortly after, I received emails telling me to contact UPS myself. As a customer, my responsibility is to place the order and pay for it — which I already did. Why am I expected to manage Apple’s shipping operation? Today I called Apple Support again, and during the conversation the call was either disconnected or ended by the representative. This is not the “premium customer experience” Apple promotes. Right now, it feels like the customer is simply being left in the middle of the problem. @Apple @AppleSupport
-
Ashish Chowdhari (@ashishx_1) reportedUpdated my iPhone 14 yesterday and it went black. Today Apple Store said the display must be replaced, and I have to pay for it. If this issue was caused by the update, why should I bear the cost? Customers shouldn’t have to pay for problems caused by Apple’s software. @Apple
-
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?

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.

Ray Lin (@RayLin) reportedevery time a new popular thing drops and its always a BATTLE to buy it, is when i realize how good apple has streamlined the whole preorder pipeline. yeah sometimes the apple store takes 15 extra minutes before they take off the loading screen but ive never had issues checking out. thanks @tim_cook
