  @vedanthk_ @BratDotAI Well actually not that bad! The real problem is when you are a noob and need to resubmit 3 version before the first approval.. Got me like 1 month to get the first release on apple store🥲

  @theglobalZinny That #7,600 every 2 weeks no make sense at all — you're right to be confused. If it's meant to be 1 month, you shouldn't be paying twice. Let's sort it out quick: 1. Which premium is this? Is it Meta Verified, X Premium, TradingView, or Meta AI Premium? The #7,600 price sounds exactly like Meta Verified in Nigeria, and that one is supposed to last 30 days, not 14 days. 2. Why it might be disappearing after 2 weeks: • You might be on a 2-week trial that auto-converts • Your payment didn't fully renew, so it drops off and asks you to pay again • You have 2 active subscriptions running (one on Facebook, one on Instagram) — so it looks like you pay every 2 weeks • Network/bank declined the renewal, so it cancels early Can you check this for me so I can guide you properly: • Where do you see the expiry date? Is it in Settings > Meta Verified / Subscription? • Are you paying via Play Store, Apple Store, or directly with card? • Do you get a receipt email after each payment? What to do for now — don't pay again yet: 1. Go to your phone's subscriptions: • iPhone: Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions • Android: Play Store > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions See if it says 2 weeks or 1 month, and if you have duplicate subs. 2. If it's Meta Verified, go to Accounts Center > Meta Verified > Manage — it will show the real expiry. 3. If it truly expires after 14 days but charges for 30 days, that's a billing error. Don't keep paying. Cancel it and I can help you raise a support ticket to get the refund for the extra charge. Tell me which app it's for and where you subscribed from, I will walk you through fixing it so you only pay once a month.

  @Sweetly_Shar @DemzDeliver Incorrect. When in poverty, you don't go to an Apple store and start stealing ****. You go for food. I've been homeless for 3 years in my life, homeless. I never stole, never needed to and neither does a single other person in this country. Every single one of them can very easily get help when and if needed. Doing otherwise is a CHOICE, a terrible one too. No, they steal and break into places to steal the most expensive **** they can so they can sell it online for drug money, clothes to make themselves look rich, or to buy things they don't NEED because they feel it's owed to them. There's a sickness with those cultures and it stems in self entitlement. Also affordability...in NYC? LMAO hahahahaha oh that has been in the gutter since that man took power, even before him it was bad, but it's worse now. Also you don't know the term Bum. I work for everything I get...as a ******* MUTE. I put in all the work myself and work hard, unlike thieves and ****** people who think everything should be given to them.

  The uncomfortable truth: Apple operates 500+ retail stores worldwide. Each one generates more revenue per square foot than any other retailer on earth. And most customers use the store for one thing: buying a product and leaving. Free workshops that teach photography, video, music, and device mastery never attended. Genius Bar diagnostics that are free on any device never requested. Trade-in valuations that take 3 minutes and apply instantly never checked. Price matching against Best Buy and Target never asked for. A 14-day return window for risk-free testing never used strategically. Free data transfer and setup declined and regretted at home. Education and military discounts worth $100-229 never mentioned. Device recycling for every old gadget in your drawer never brought in. Every service is free. Every service is available. Every service exists to make the device you already bought more useful and the next purchase more affordable. The former employee's last line: "I worked at Apple for 5 years. I sold thousands of devices. But the most rewarding part of my job was the services not the sales. Setting up an 80-year-old's first iPhone and watching her FaceTime her grandkids. Teaching a teenager iPhone photography and watching his photos improve in 90 minutes. Running diagnostics on a 'dead' MacBook and fixing it with a software reset for free. Giving a genuinely kind customer a free battery replacement that should have cost $89 because she treated me like a person, not a register. The Apple Store isn't just a store. It's a service center. A classroom. A repair shop. A trade-in counter. A recycling facility. Most customers use 10% of it. The other 90% is free and waiting." 11 secrets. Same Apple Store. Same glass doors. The products are on the tables. The services are behind the Genius Bar, inside the workshop schedule, and on the website you've never scrolled. Walk in this weekend. Not to buy something. To learn something. Fix something. Trade in something. Ask about something. The store was always more than a store. Most customers just never asked.

  @SusanDReynolds Need a cop? All you need to find is an Apple Store and there will be at least one cop out front courtesy of Apple,,, no Apple Store nearby, if you’re a sailor, no- your assailant has a gun be absolutely sure to mention that to the police when you call, it makes a difference. During those 20 years, we were consistently the only house on the entire block to display lights out front at Halloween and Christmas. We gave out a **** ton of candy. I saw some guys Tazed out my living room window , once my wife saw a stabbing across the street where, after the cops showed up, everyone left OK. five police in riot gear with ARs arrested a guy down the street, in his apartment . I was mugged a block away, identified who did it. The cops assured me that the bad weekend he was about to have was probably going to be the only punishment he got and they were right thanks. I watched thousands of dollars of groceries walk out the Safeway door at seventh and Cabrillo. My fondest memory was watching a Young partier with crazy hair run out the front door with a 12 pack and a chicken and hop on his skateboard which he had deftly positioned across the street. He was down to Balboa, dragging the tail to maintain his speed it was quite awesome.

  @LucyTrims @veryfathomer @cookhamcockapoo Bath has to do something with the old M&S - you can't have the biggest shop in town standing empty. I was shocked by Quakers Friars in Bristol the other day - all shops closed down, the Apple Store, everything. This was supposed to be the high-end shopping experience in Bristol

  If this changes your upgrade decision or saves you from buying the standard iPhone 18 that won't arrive until March 2027 one ask: Repost the first post so the next person planning a fall upgrade sees the 12 features landing in September before they walk into the Apple Store. Follow [ @jackcoder0 ] I break down the hidden specs, upgrade decisions, and tech strategies that companies bank on you not comparing. Next thread: iPhone 18 Pro Max vs Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra the honest 10-round comparison. Which flagship wins depends on one question nobody asks.

  As great as the iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 betas have been, the watchOS 27 beta is atrocious. Siri doesn’t work for HoneKit controls and it’s super slow for checking weather and other things compared to iOS and iPadOS 27. I might have to take a trip to the Apple Store to revert my watch back.

  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.

  @Clintwestwood97 @mrpyo1 That’s not a Sony problem necessarily. It’s how things have evolved (e.g. some games are no longer available on the Apple Store). There may be a happy middle solution. I have 100s of physical games. And I’m kind of over it. Too much space. Im a little relieved to be honest.

  @lilyraynyc There are really only two reasons why people leave reviews: either they received exceptional service (or an exceptional product) that completely blew their mind, or they are super unhappy. The proof of this is very simple: look at the reviews for any Apple Store. Apple is the number one brand in the world, and people absolutely praise their products. Yet, none of their physical stores go above 3.8 stars. On Yelp, some of them don't even cross three stars, and on other apps, the ratings are even lower. Do you think all of their customers are unhappy? Of course not. But if everyone left reviews, we would see a totally different picture. The reality is that people need to be incentivized to leave reviews, because otherwise, they simply won't write them. Think about it: • If you go to your local pizzeria and have a regular slice of pizza, are you going to pull out your phone and write a review? Probably not. • But if someone doesn't like their slice, they are going to write the nastiest review in the world. Meanwhile, the hundreds of other people who eat there every day and enjoy it will write nothing. As humans, we only pull out our phones to write a review when something ridiculous happens and we want the world to know—either because the service was mind-blowing, or because we are super upset. When our expectations are simply met—like going to a hotel, having a regular stay with no problems, and getting exactly the room we expected—we don't think to do it. That is why the whole review ecosystem is broken and unfair. It only captures the people who are super happy or super unhappy, leaving almost no representation for the silent majority in the middle. If you want regular customers to write reviews, you have to incentivize them to pull out their phones. We all have busy lives, and nobody has the time to search for your business and write a review for free.

  @BillyBostickson Yeah ‘advanced search’ is a privilege they expect us to pay for now. But if you do ever end up subscribing, make sure you do it via a web browser login and not via the iOS app. Apple Store adds a whopping 40% extra to the cost of a monthly/annual subscription. Extortion so high, it should be criminal.

  🚨 #BREAKING : The @telegram app has just been removed from the @Apple store. It had been removed because it had made "inappropriate content" available to users, founder Pavel Durov said. The removal came soon after Telegram launched an unfinished version of its "experimental" Telegram X app. Apple took down both the official messaging app and the one still being worked on.

  Guess who has to bring her tablet into an apple store because the damn thing won’t stop shutting down and restarting for no reason 🤪 There’s at least $200 down the drain on a new battery (which I think is the main cause of the problems) if they do find something wrong with it 🤑

  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.
