  @MarieIsabellaB Almost got arrested in Verizon over the same issue. Needed a replacement and manager said I could not get one of the phones in the store. Another worker told me to go to the Apple Store. Never stepped foot in Verizon store since.

  @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

  I make ios apps and I don't have an IPhone Neither mac. This is how I do it: - made the app over @expo with claude code - set up my github actions (ci cd) to create android (adb) and ios builds (ipa) - they go directly to the internal testing track for android dev console and testfight in apple store connect - I rent a @MacinCloud for $30 to run ios emulator and make sure the app works for emulator - invited 2 friends to testflight - they report me bugs and I fix it I am stubborn enough not to buy an iPhone but spend money on ads. What are your app building challenges? #buildinpublic #mobileapps #testflight

  Still struggling. I need to create releases for 3 apps on the Apple Store, fix releases on Google Play, fix the web hook for RankGoat to create posts for my business, integrate the eBay API for inventory management in CAUN, test CoinTrade, finish the TubeBinder MVP, and make 1.5B. When will I get it done if I do nothing?

  @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.

  @JMW_BOYZ The problem is that in places like here we have voices and the absolute fraction of us that comment seem to think in one certain way. I love going to CeX and buying bags full of DvD's for a buck a pop. I picked up a PS1/PS3/XboxOG and have a mountain of old games that I used to play or want to play for mere fraction of the price. But those are brick and mortar with things like rent/employees/insurance/utilities. Massive overhead. The real truth is that it's pretty clear CeX gets the majority of their stuff for nothing or close to it, with a lot of 'new' stuff being overstock/damage from high street retail. Physical media has been dying for ages, and I get it. I have a massive amount in steam. When I had lost everything I physically owned it was so nice to login to steam, and still retain everything. The larger issue is that Valve is the outlyer, I don't think people would mind so much if it wasn't for megacorps like SONY who treat a 'sale' more like a decade rental. Even my Apple store stuff is mostly all gone now. Funny how people don't cry about that one.

  a down payment. I have never leased anything from T-Mobile or Apple—the iPhone was purchased alright at the Apple Store—never had the screen saver displayed on the illustrated iPhone 13.

  @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 :(

  Just wanted to share an update regarding this issue. I spoke with one of Apple's Senior Advisors in Indonesia, and they explained that my replacement request couldn't be approved because Indonesia doesn't have an Apple Store—only Apple Authorized Service Provider. The Apple Authorized Service Provider denies to replace my phone. They suggested that I visit an Apple Store in Singapore or Malaysia instead, as those are the closest countries to me with official Apple Stores, and they should be able to replace my phone there. Will I fly to Singapore or Malaysia just for a replacement? Definitely not. Plane tickets aren't cheap these days. I'll treat this as a lesson learned, and hopefully it can be a lesson for you guys too—especially if you live in Indonesia or another country without an Apple Store. Do I blame Apple? No. They actually offered to replace my phone from the very beginning, but I chose not to accept it. That said, I really wish Apple would open an official Apple Store here in Indonesia.

  Who do really rich people go to for their tech issues? Like, say I'm a billionaire, and I have a problem with my Photos application. Surely I just don't go to the Apple Store...? Do I?

  @spiritchihiro MacBook Pro a few months ago. Told myself I’m walking out of the Apple Store tomorrow, with a working MacBook Pro (mine was broken and I had no money to get it fixed or buy a new one). Couldn’t be fixed. So my Mum just said there and then I’ll buy you a new one, and she did?

  Apple Is Testing AI Powered 'Live Notes' to Streamline Genius Bar Appointments. Apple is testing a new artificial intelligence feature called Live Notes, designed to make Genius Bar appointments more efficient for both customers and Apple Store employees. Instead of a Genius Bar employee manually writing down everything discussed during a repair appointment, Live Notes uses AI to listen to the conversation and generate a transcript in real time. The feature only works if both the customer and the employee give their consent, making it an opt-in system rather than something that's enabled automatically. Once the conversation is finished, the AI generated transcript is saved directly to the employee's iPad and becomes part of the repair record. This creates a detailed log of what was discussed, including the customer's description of the issue, troubleshooting steps, recommendations, and any repair decisions made during the appointment. The biggest advantage is that employees can spend more time interacting with customers instead of constantly typing or taking handwritten notes. Rather than dividing their attention between the customer and their iPad, they can focus on diagnosing the problem, answering questions, and explaining repair options while the AI handles the documentation in the background. For customers, this could also lead to more accurate repair records. Important details are less likely to be forgotten or recorded incorrectly, which can help if a customer returns for a follow-up visit or if another Apple technician needs to continue the repair later. Having a complete transcript ensures everyone has access to the same information. The feature also has the potential to improve efficiency across Apple's retail stores. By automating notetaking, Genius Bar appointments may move faster, employees could handle more customers throughout the day, and the quality of documentation could become more consistent across different locations. Although Apple is currently testing Live Notes in only some stores, it reflects the company's broader strategy of integrating AI into everyday services. Rather than using AI only for consumer-facing features, Apple is also exploring ways it can streamline internal workflows and improve the overall customer experience. If the trial proves successful, Live Notes could eventually become a standard feature at Genius Bars worldwide.

  @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.

  Sam Altman taught 720 startups one formula where luck is a random number between 0 and 10,000. Stanford, 2014. The opening lecture of CS183B was so packed he asked for a bigger auditorium. He was 28, a dropout from this same school 9 years earlier, now running Y Combinator. The formula he wrote on the board: idea × product × team × execution × luck and you only control 4 of the 5, because the fifth one goes to 10,000. His words, not a metaphor. Then he did something strange: he handed half of his own lecture to Dustin Moskovitz, co-founder of Facebook, whose entire job was to talk students out of starting companies. Dustin showed one table. Employee 100 at Dropbox with standard 10 basis points made $10 million, employee 250 at Facebook made $200 million, and employee 1,000 joining in 2009, when everyone said it was too late still made $20 million. Your own startup? Best case you build a $100 million company and keep 10% after dilution. $10 million, same as employee 1,000, minus your health. Dustin knew the price because he paid it: at 21 he was throwing his back out every 6 months from pure anxiety, always on call, unable to quit a founder who leaves wears the black eye for a decade. Then Altman twisted the lecture back with advice that cut against everything in the room. The best ideas look terrible at the start: the 13th search engine, the 10th social network limited to college kids, sleeping on strangers' couches. If an idea sounds good, too many people are already building it. Make something 100 people love instead of something 10,000 people like. Ben Silbermann recruited Pinterest's first users by walking up to strangers in Palo Alto coffee shops, then resetting every browser in the Apple Store to Pinterest's homepage until they threw him out. And the only valid reason to start is that you can't not do it. Dustin built Asana at night, after full days at Facebook, unpaid and unasked. "The idea was beating itself out of our chest." The rest is a number between 0 and 10,000.

  @BradTechh My tablet. However apples made the same mistake of all the other digital companies 2010. older instructional material that was degraded to the level of the Gutenberg Bible as compared to the user-friendly era, the leaders of which was Steve Jobs. Following that engineering and programmers produce most of the educational material it’s got awful. It’s composed of thousands of variables that are programmer constructed and link nill sure even the associated English words. Just just write down the steps for something as simple as user face identification it’s buried five pages under God knows words that have to be learned as a foreign language and still none of them are intuitively connected the number one big thing that could really swing Apple around would be an elegant review and complete revision of their instructional material for their wonderful machines that are so complex that they should bend over backwards to make their instructions, palatable or intuitive. You’ll notice that most of the major medical schools and nearly all of the engineering and advanced school Prestigious aggressively is auditory, visual, interactive, curriculum components, extensively. Apple’s approach breaks the number one rule “ The medium is the message”. Just go to Apple Store and watch who’s who’s really teaching neophytes. You’ll see clusters of friends doing just that kind of teaching, but notice that the books and the instructional material and the online stuff is avoided. One small group of special education specialist could convert it to easily absorbable. I bet that would increase our market share 25%.

  Apple support has gone down the gutter. AppleCare+ doesn't help either. Waste of money My airpod pro 3 has a hardware defect where the right pod inner hardware starts to shuffle on long runs They denied my warranty claim because their 'test' didn't detect anything in a stationary environment I had an appt at the Apple Store scheduled but it took 30 mins to chat with someone. Another 30 minutes to chat with a manager All for them to say they can't help and that their test was rigorous enough to simulate my 'long run' use case. Sure I could've sworn that their Support used to be much better! Maybe it's location dependent

  @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
