  @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

  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.

  @FloreFlos Smart move. I had an issue w/cell service. Went to get it resolved & the employee literally referred me to the Apple Store to fix an issue THEY created. 🤯I went back on a diff day & told the manager. Said I was in cust serv for a very long time & I was mortified. He was too.

  @poonamjourno @AppleSupport @Apple I'll recommend visiting the nearest Official Apple Store (if available in your city) If not, reach out to their international customer support from Apple official support iOS app Apple official customer care is top notch and it's very likely, all your issues will be resolved

  @_TheJasonC Let’s not forget the trust factor. I’ve seen plenty of stories about the poor customer service with Samsung. I’ve experienced it myself with issues with trade ins. They’ve tried to tell me I didn’t send in a device in the condition I said it was. The minute I mentioned having photos and videos of the condition and me packing it up, all of a sudden, they weren’t going to try to issue a charge back to me anymore. That happened a few times. Then, there’s the turn around for repairs. I’ve had a few things repaired by Apple and they’ve had them back to me within a few days. Shipped out on Monday and back to me by Wednesday. I’ve seen people have Samsung take weeks to months. Also, the ability to easily message with Apple support through iMessage. There’s trust that if you have an issue, you will be able to get ahold of someone and they’ll do their best to help you if they can. Yes, there can be the occasional poor support, but it’s far less often than the numbers I’ve seen with issues with Samsung. Google has their issues as well. My sister had an issue with her Pixel 6 Pro. They replaced it 4 times before she got so frustrated that she ended up just buying the 9 Pro XL. Neither Google nor Verizon seemed to understand the importance of keeping the customer happy. She was close to getting an iPhone and switching carriers. She’s been a Pixel user since the first Pixel. Apple is about not only the ecosystem but their post sales support and how they stand behind their products. Things like, if I switch from individual services to Apple One, they’ll refund the unused days prorated. Things like, when I had some dead pixels form on a MacBook Pro Display, I took it into the Apple Store, they ran some test and while they were doing those tests, they had things my son could do so he wasn’t bored and as a parent that is significant. He played some games on an iPad and watched something on the Apple TV. I’ve not once walked into an Apple Store and been ignored. But, I’ve tried to get help from Samsung reps inside a Best Buy and it was like I was asking a lot of them. It’s about training of their staff and how their employees treat the customers. I’ve never felt rushed either. I was picking up an iPhone, last year and did a trade in and they let me make sure everything was transferring over and made sure I didn’t need anything while my apps and settings transferred over and my carrier service moved over. The store closed and they let us finish up what we were doing while they did their closing duties. When we left, then had a bag with candy that each of us (my wife, son and I) got to take some. It was around some holiday. For me, it’s like being part of a family or big friend group. It comes down to how often have I been frustrated vs how often have I been very pleased with my experience and even had someone go above and beyond what I expected. Those experiences create loyalty.

  I had to get some more alerts before I could reply to you since I can only use the bottom half of my touchscreen. Problems I never thought of in the year 2005! I do have to give a shout out to the Apple Store. They helped me when I was totally locked out of my account even though I bought my phone from a third-party and walked in with a cracked screen I honestly thought they were gonna be the worst and turned me away and the guy spent like an hour and a half with me

  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.

  @ProtonSupport Here’s what the proyon ai says. The operation couldn’t be completed. (Common networking.VpnApiService) Error error 0.) Once that was cleared then this popped up on trying to access the account “Invalid Refresh Token”. Proton support couldn’t get past that but did give me a web page to try to figure it out. I searched the forums and tried the sequential steps from the link given me until bed time. Next morning I removed the VPN file and reloaded a fresh file. I then got a message from Pay Pal ( I had made a purchase through the Apple store. ) So I immediately got connected to Pay Pal and showed them the files. She sent a file that showed I had been charged for a software I already had a paid contract for a year ago. I was told they would check out my info and get back to me. I got an auto email and the charge had gone through so it couldn’t be stopped. At that point I had no vpn on two lap-tops but still had proton mail on both. Awhile latter I received an email that Pay Pal would cover the refund that will take several days to show up. I have a Proton Plus that has Mail and VPN that Proton Ai immediately the blocked now 4 days ago they say because I filed a greviance. It won’t be addressed until July 5th. I have received NOTHING from proton? I suspect I’m not the only one that has run into this. Look through all your support tickets and fix them all not just mine that’s in the public.

  An AFP TV crew shot footage of an 8 year old Chinese boy named Zhou Zhiheng for a piece on Asia's youngest programmers. Round green frames. Red shirt. He sat in front of a MacBook Air at a glass desk inside a Shenzhen co-working space with iPhone XR posters mounted on the wall behind him. The voiceover said he had started out building games. The subtitle said his coding tutorial channel pulled 60,000 followers. The camera pushed in tight on his fingers across the keys. While the West holds panels about screen time for kids, China places an 8 year old in front of an unregistered code editor and rolls cameras for the international press. He was meant to be the friendly face of Asian tech literacy. He just left the sidebar open. Pause at 1:34. Skip past the C++ on the screen. Skip past the if statement the AFP voiceover was reading. Look at the left panel of the editor. The folder is labeled aspirin. The open file is jizhe.cpp. The folder tree below: 1-7, 1-7b, 10-1, 10-1.2, 10-2, 10-4, 10-6, 10-8, 11-2. ColdMath. $94,318 profit. 5,612 entries. Joined September 2025. Bio: Edge Compounds. Jizhe is the mandarin word for journalist. The file the AFP crew was rolling on was named after them. The boy had the open scanf reading a score variable. He had not typed it that morning. He had given the file its name the day the AFP request came through. The numbered folders were not chapters of a coding course. The numbering lined up with the Chinese journalism beat codes the press accreditation office issues to foreign correspondents. 1-7 is the technology beat. 10-1 is consumer electronics. 10-2 is mobile devices. 11-2 is venture capital. The folder tree was an index of which AFP and Reuters reporters covered what. The boy was not the developer. The boy was the camera trap. The agent on the MacBook Air was tracking which journalists filed filming permit requests at which Shenzhen co-working spaces three days ahead of the segments going to air. Every permit request was a position on the company being filmed. The agent traded the gap between shoot and broadcast. The crew rolled for forty minutes. The agent placed eleven positions during the shoot. Every position was on a company whose office the AFP team had stopped by that week. The comments turned into a detective board. One viewer dropped the AFP clip to 0.25x. Another translated jizhe out of the filename. A third commenter cross referenced the folder numbering against the Chinese State Council Information Office accreditation list and matched every code. Six months ago a 14 year old in Shenzhen pushed an AI agent to GitHub. Judges said no real world application. 3,100 forks later. The boy's father had been one of them. He had dropped the fork onto his son's MacBook the week the AFP request showed up in the family's WeChat. The 60,000 follower coding channel was not a coding channel. It was a feed tracking which co-working spaces were hosting which crews. The followers were operators running the same fork out of different cities. The iPhone XR posters behind him were not Apple Store decor. The shoot was happening inside a media briefing room foreign correspondents rent specifically to film this kind of segment. The agent already knew the room. The room was on the list. The AFP segment sits at 2.1 million views. The freeze frame of the folder tree cleared 4.6 million on the repost. The wallet is still compounding. The agent is still reading press accreditation requests. The unregistered editor is still open. The jizhe.cpp file is still on screen. They filmed him to prove a child could code. The child was the lens. The agent was running the shoot.

  @luxuria424 Scammed from the official Apple Store? I don’t think so. And just because your experience is different doesn’t mean that others is the same as yours. Many players have problems with Wuthering waves on high end devices.

  24+ hours later my @TMobile eSIM still won’t activate on my brand new iPhone. I’ve spent hours with @TMobileHelp, visited a T-Mobile store for over an hour, and even went to the Apple Store. Apple believes the issue is on T-Mobile’s provisioning side.

  My brand new iPhone 17 pro max; less than a year old is getting hot unnecessarily! What should I do? @Apple what’s going on with your product? Why’s your latest phone in your company acting weird and not working effectively? Why’s it getting hot when it’s a brand new phone? Why should it even have any cause to have any problem when I actually bought it outright from your Apple Store? Why? I should’ve just gone for the Google Pixel 10 pro max that I wanted to buy initially. This is bull ****! 💩

  A Mac Studio sitting on your desk now runs AI models that cost OpenAI $700,000 a day to serve. And it does it for free. No API bills. No rate limits. No data leaving your machine. No subscription. Here's what's actually possible in 2026. A Mac Studio with 64GB unified memory runs Llama 4 Maverick — a 70B parameter model — at usable speeds. The same class of model that required a server rack two years ago now fits on a $1,999 desktop. A Mac Studio Ultra with 192GB runs 100B+ models locally. We're talking frontier-level reasoning on hardware you can buy at an Apple Store. And the 512GB Mac Studio Ultra? It runs DeepSeek V4 Pro. 1.6 trillion parameters. Locally. On your desk. The reason this works is unified memory. Apple Silicon doesn't split RAM between CPU and GPU. All of it goes to the model. A 64GB Mac has 64GB for inference — which is more effective than an Nvidia GPU with 24GB of dedicated VRAM for this specific workload. The tool stack is simple. Ollama for running models via terminal. LM Studio if you want a GUI that looks like ChatGPT. Both free. Both work in 10 minutes. Six months ago local AI was a hobbyist experiment. Today it's a legitimate alternative to cloud APIs for anyone who values privacy, cost, or offline access. The data center is shrinking. It just fit on your desk.

  Everyone pay attention. I had been slept without intention again in restaurant, then a woman came over to wake me up, same thing. Every time when I DFU my phone, SDD rat use same thing to put me sleep and do such thing on my restored phone. This time I have to tell everyone what happened when I DFU my device today at Norwich Apple Store: the staff wanted to MDM my device, and I caught it. How shame it is. I requested restore again to not escalate the issue because I think he had been ordered to do so. I didn’t think that even not give up instead of making me sleep again to do such things on my device again afterwards. Insane
