  Is it possible we are at the beginning of the end of the smartphone era? If AI is as big as it appears to be, computer and memory will flow to its applications (from datacenter to edge). This will cause price inflation for smartphones, including and perhaps especially Apple ones because Apple's edge has been ever more advanced compute (and better cameras), alongside of course amazing software. So iPhones go up in price, margins go down, and people upgrade less. Apple's strategy of on-device AI exacerbates the problem because it adds cost, but not much functionality. On device Apple models sound like the elegant and profitable way to avoid the capex-AI investment cycle bedeviling Wall Street, but it instead pushes Apple headlong into a high price, low margin winter of expensive on device AI combined with an awkward partnership with its primary competitor, Google (who seems to be losing its AI mojo as we speak). And as an aside, I had the unusual experience at the Apple Store yesterday of being upsold aggressively on Apple News+ and some business service thing I didn't want. Apple service revenue is important, but it's very tied to Apple devices (especially Apple Care). Anyways, just a thought. Not bagging on Apple, but the thought occured to me that if the competition for scarce computer and memory doesn't let up, Apple's salad days of ever more powerful iPhones at a reasonable cost may be over.

  @grok Already did but ... I have a bad feeling about this. If all I need to do is downgrade back to SuperGrok and then upgrade immediately to SuperGrok Plus that's fine, I just need someone to tell me that's the official fix, I don't feel like experimenting and messing up my account. I actually do not need the $30/mo SuperGrok because I have SuperGrok through my X Premium+ account charged through the Apple store... But if I flat out just *cancel* Heavy I'm afraid I will lose all my stuff!

  @saradietschy The only thing that a pass key has been useful for is when I had it saved in my iCloud and tried to add all my Gmail accounts to my new phone after turning over my old phone to the rep at the Apple Store. Cuz like how can you open the YouTube app on your old phone to verify a sign in for your new phone if you don’t have it! Uhh!!

  6. Free data transfer and setup the service most buyers decline and then struggle alone. When you buy a new iPhone, iPad, or Mac at the Apple Store: the staff will transfer your data from your old device, set up the new one, and walk you through the key features. Free. Most customers say "no thanks, I'll set it up at home" then spend 3 hours figuring out data transfer, re-downloading apps, re-entering passwords, and troubleshooting iCloud sync issues. The Apple Store setup takes 20-30 minutes. They do it while you browse. They transfer contacts, photos, apps, and settings from your old device. They pair your Apple Watch. They configure Face ID. They verify iCloud backup. For seniors and less tech-savvy buyers: the in-store setup eliminates the most frustrating part of a new device. You walk in with an old phone. You walk out with a new phone fully set up, fully loaded, fully working. For Mac buyers: the staff transfers files, settings, and applications from your old Mac to the new one using Migration Assistant. Everything transfers. Even your desktop wallpaper.

  Most people in crypto are still chasing the next 10x narrative while completely missing what’s actually being built right now. $GARLY is building something unique and new. 99% of crypto projects that are born are larps/farms and often copy and paste just to farm and that’s it. Pure crap. People buy in FOMO projects that are only pump and dump — as we just saw with solana:HmTi3CQfKfXWbn1tNoiAxH7GzMV7L3tDAmPWabZEBAGS , which went from 4 million market cap down to 200k in just 3/4 days. Meanwhile it fades solid projects with legit teams that are developing something unique like $GARLY. $GARLY isn’t another recycled narrative. It’s the first real AI personal safety companion in crypto — privacy-first, proactive, and designed for the exact moment you can’t press a button. No other crypto project is doing this. The only real competitors are traditional companies already valued in the billions. Meanwhile the problem @appGarly is solving affects billions of people worldwide. Holders are growing every single day. The team is shipping real updates almost daily: • App submitted for final Google Play review • Apple Store (iOS) setup starting now • Jupiter verification submitted (likes needed to fast-track) • Premium version coming soon (name chosen by the community) • 30 automated test suites + 1532 checks, zero failures This is what an actual category-defining project looks like when it’s still early. Don’t sleep on it at just ~150k Mcap now. Millions are coming. $Garly 🧄💎

  @apple @AppleSupport Dear Apple Support / Customer Relations, My name is Yukita, and I am contacting you on behalf of my friend in Japan regarding a serious unresolved issue with Apple Japan. My friend previously had his iPhone repaired at an Apple Store in Japan. However, the repair appears not to have been completed properly, and the iPhone later suffered water damage and is now unusable. He contacted Apple Japan regarding the issue, but he was told that he would need to travel to Tokyo so that Apple could determine whether the damage was caused by him or was related to the previous repair. He does not live in Tokyo, and traveling there would cost him more than USD 100. More importantly, he currently cannot use his iPhone at all. I have already contacted Apple Support in the United States, but I was told that they could not assist because the device and customer are located outside the United States. We understand that Apple needs to inspect the device to determine the cause of the problem. However, we do not understand why he must personally travel to Tokyo, especially when the issue may be related to an incomplete or improper repair performed by Apple. Because the phone is currently unusable, he has already suffered additional losses, including access to important photos and data, backups, and transportation-related funds stored on the device that cannot be refunded. We are therefore requesting that Apple escalate this matter and provide a practical solution that does not require him to travel to Tokyo at his own expense. For example, we would appreciate an inspection at a closer Apple Store or authorized service location, or another arrangement that allows the device to be evaluated as soon as possible. This matter is urgent because he currently has no usable phone. Please review this case and contact us as soon as possible. We would sincerely appreciate Apple’s assistance in resolving this matter fairly and promptly. Regards, Yukita

  There were two reasons I did this: 1. MOST IMPORTANT was an audit of the screens without being distracted. I wanted to just sit and stare at each one then write down my thoughts on how to make them better. Then pass that back to Claude Code easily. 2. Easy access to Apple Store/web assets.

  The uncomfortable truth. Apple shipped Wallet with every iPhone for 12 years. They added car keys in 2020. Home keys in 2021. Digital ID in 2022. Transit, boarding passes, insurance, and loyalty cards have been building quietly since 2014. But the app icon is a picture of a credit card. The setup wizard doesn't mention car keys. The Apple Store employee doesn't walk you through transit passes. The iPhone ad doesn't show someone unlocking their front door with their wrist. Apple marketed Wallet as a payment app. Then they built it into a physical-life replacement platform one feature per year, one category at a time, without ever updating the way they talk about it. Most iPhone owners see the Wallet icon and think: "That's where my credit card lives." They're right. It's also where their car key, their home key, their driver's license, their hotel key, their boarding pass, their transit card, their insurance card, their event tickets, and their cash card live. Or could live if they opened the app past the first card they added. "I used to empty my pockets every night onto the nightstand phone, wallet, keys, cards, badges. Now I set down one phone. Everything else is inside it. Has been for years. I just never set it up." Apple Wallet isn't a payment app. It's the app that replaces the objects you've been carrying your entire adult life. Apple just never told you because 'tap to pay' fits on a billboard, and 'digital replacement for your entire pocket' doesn't. 9 features. 35 minutes. One pocket. Everything else is in the drawer. The wallet was always in the phone. You just never unpacked it.

  @Jake__Wujastyk @Apple I have a iPhone 13 Pro. The battery was down to 71%. I want to upgrade to a 17 Pro and AT&T has a promotion that will pay me the full value of the 17 Pro if I trade in my 13 Pro, but it has to have a battery >80%. I took it to the Apple Store today and got a new battery for $90. If I didn’t upgrade the battery, it would cost me a few hundred $ to do the upgrade. DO NOT SWITCH TO SAMSUNG. Nothing wrong with it, but if you’ve been using IOS for a long time you won’t be able to put up with Android. Too much of a difference.

  None of this requires spending $249 on a new pair right away. It's three things: check real charging habits, turn off features you don't need, and ask about the $49–$69 official battery replacement before assuming a full replacement is the only option. Go check your AirPods settings right now. If this was useful, RT the first tweet so someone else saves $200 before their next Apple Store visit. And if you've got a specific AirPods battery or connection question, reply and I'll help you track it down.

  @woocassh Man Claude’s security is a pain. Security always comes at the cost of UX, but I think they pushed that one a bit too far. Codex seems to just ask less questions and get it done.

  Kings Of The South (@kots_ads1940) reported 1 hour ago

  Dear @AppleSupport , I am writing to formally document my dissatisfaction with the handling of Apple Case 20000132934691 and to request that this feedback be escalated, particularly to the Project Manager and engineering team responsible for the Apple Watch software and backend systems involved in device status and pairing. My Apple Watch was previously lost, and I filed a lost-device claim through Apple’s third-party insurance provider, AIG. Approximately one or two months later, I recovered the watch. I immediately contacted AIG and had the lost claim canceled. Despite the claim being canceled, my Apple Watch still appears as lost within Apple’s backend/endpoints, and as a result, I am unable to pair the watch with my iPhone. I have done everything that could reasonably be expected of me as a customer. I contacted AIG, visited an Apple Store, and ultimately contacted Apple Support. I was then escalated to Senior Advisor Pablo, who informed me that this appears to be a bug on Apple’s side and that a bug ticket would be submitted to the appropriate engineering team. I was told I could potentially receive an update on 08-10, but I have not received one. What disappoints me most is not simply that a software bug exists. Bugs happen in software. What is unacceptable is how the consequences of this bug are being placed entirely on the customer. I have been told that I must wait for Apple’s engineering team to investigate and resolve the issue and that Apple cannot provide a refund or replacement in the meantime. In other words, an Apple software/backend defect has made my legitimately owned Apple Watch unusable, yet I am expected to simply wait indefinitely while Apple investigates its own system. That is extremely disappointing for a company that places such a strong emphasis on customer experience. From a software and quality-assurance perspective, this situation also raises serious concerns. The scenario in which a lost-device insurance claim is filed, the device is later recovered, and the claim is canceled is a completely legitimate lifecycle scenario. If canceling that claim does not correctly propagate through Apple’s systems and remove the lost status so that the device can be paired again, then an important edge/corner case was either not adequately covered during development and testing or is not being handled correctly in production. The customer should not become the final test case for a production system. Please specifically communicate this feedback to the Project Manager responsible for this area, as well as the software engineering and QA/testing teams. Because of this bug, I have been left with an Apple Watch that I own but cannot use, and instead of Apple immediately making the customer whole, I have been asked to wait for an engineering solution. At this point, even if Apple finds a technical solution, it will not change my experience or restore my confidence in the way this case has been handled. Whether this issue is resolved in three days or a thousand days is no longer the point. The damage to my trust has already been done. I expected Apple to stand behind its products when its own systems fail. Instead, I feel that I have been made to bear the consequences of a defect that I did not create and have no ability to fix. Please attach this message in full to Case 20000132934691 and ensure that my feedback is escalated to the appropriate management, engineering, and QA teams. Thank you to everyone involved in the software and testing process for providing me with an experience I genuinely never expected to have with Apple. Sincerely

  The uncomfortable truth. Apple ships the Apple Watch with every feature enabled because the spec sheet is the sales pitch. "Always-On Display. Continuous heart rate. Environmental noise monitoring. Blood oxygen. Temperature sensing." Every feature justifies the price tag. Every feature sounds essential on the product page. But every feature also drains the battery. And Apple rates the watch at 18 hours with "normal use" a definition they control by choosing which features count as "normal." When your watch dies at 2 PM, Apple doesn't say "you have too many features running." They say "the battery lasts 18 hours." When your battery health drops to 80% after 2 years, Apple doesn't say "your charging habits degraded the cells." They offer a $79 replacement or a $449 upgrade. Apple makes money when your battery degrades. They make money when you upgrade. They do not make money when you change 9 settings and keep the same watch for 5 years. The guy who charges every other day and the guy who charges twice a day own the exact same device. Same chip. Same battery. Same hardware. One of them opened Settings. The other opened the Apple Store. "Your Apple Watch doesn't have a battery problem. It has a settings problem. And the company that sold it to you has no incentive to tell you the difference." 9 settings. 7 minutes. Same watch. Twice the battery. The watch was never dying. It was just running a marathon with every feature Apple could strap to its back.

  Here's what she told me at the end: Apple operates over 500 retail stores in 26 countries. They generate more revenue per square foot than any other retailer in the world. But the money isn't what makes them different. It's what happens inside them that most customers never experience. Free diagnostics that catch $99 problems before they become $2,000 replacements. Free workshops that teach photography, video, music, and coding every day, in every store. A trade-in program that turns old devices in any condition into instant credit. Education pricing that saves students and teachers hundreds of dollars. Personal Shopping Sessions that build your perfect setup with zero pressure. A Small Business Team that configures, deploys, and manages devices for companies. A Self Service Repair program that ships genuine parts and professional tools to your home. An app with AR shopping, video consultations, and express checkout. And a 14-day return policy that lets you live with a product risk-free. Most customers walk in, buy something, and walk out. They never book a workshop. They never schedule a diagnostic. They never check their trade-in value. They never ask for education pricing. They never meet the Business Team. They never know about Self Service Repair. They never try the return policy on a purchase they're unsure about. "Apple built the highest-revenue retail stores on earth not by selling harder, but by offering more. The selling happens because the services build trust. Most customers access 10% of what the store offers. The other 90% is sitting there free, available, and waiting for someone to walk up and ask." She said the 9 services above are available right now at your nearest Apple Store. Most of them require nothing more than walking in and asking. Some require a quick online booking. None of them cost anything beyond the products themselves. The store didn't change. What you know about it did. And that's the difference between someone who buys from Apple and someone who actually uses an Apple Store.
