  @realMAG1775 Kids each have a Neo. Yes, you pay the "Apple Tax" premium but the **** just works.... I don't need to play IT guy.... If they do have issues they go into the nearest Apple Store and it's promptly taken care of. With my Dell it's endless cycles with Indian support idiots who can't even spell DELL.

  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.

  @CovidSolidarit1 Sometimes we have to tune issues out. If you can stand the audio I sometimes listen to audiobooks on either YouTube, Spotify, and BBC Sounds. I'd imagine the Apple store has audiobooks too. I just like to get my head in another world for a while 🙏

  @ssgtwrightusmc @Verizon We have had AT&T for over 20 years. I used to visit stores when I needed help, now I use the chat feature on their website. Have never had an issue, good results and I print off a transcript of the conversation. We have all Apple products and upgrade through the Apple Store.

  @Apple @AppStore @AppleSupport I don't think it's professional that waiting 3 days to get a response on Apple Store Connect support. This's doesn't fit Apple so far! The iOS app has been in review for almost a week and I'm keep messaging back and forth about changes has been done and still getting some issues from no where. The team reaches out ever 3 days!!! So I need someone from Apple Store Management to get this through.

  @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.

  If you bought an iPhone and think paying extra for AppleCare means @Apple will take care of you when the battery becomes practically unusable, think again. Apple’s position is simple: if your battery capacity has not dropped below 80%, they will not cover the battery replacement under AppleCare. My own experience has been extremely disappointing. After almost two years of using my iPhone, the battery has degraded so badly that it can no longer last a full day outside under normal usage. When the phone was new, the same kind of usage could easily last me around two days. I went to the Apple Store. I raised the issue with Apple Support. I formally complained and escalated the case. In the end, the answer was still the same: policy is policy. If the battery is above 80%, replacement is out of pocket. What frustrates me most is the complete lack of regard for the actual user experience. Apparently, it does not matter how badly the battery performs in real life. It does not matter how much the battery has deteriorated. As long as that number on the screen has not crossed Apple’s magic 80% line, the answer is no. So much for paying for AppleCare and expecting meaningful support when the product has clearly degraded. Very disappointed with Apple. @tim_cook

  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

  @theficouple I switched to EVs years ago. Would never go back to a barbaric gas car. Slow. Lots of maintenance. You have to go to a gas station and touch a greasy pump. Gross. Imagine how annoying it would be if you had to drive to an Apple Store every time you wanted to charge your iPhone.😬

  @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. I’m literally just about to go out to the Apple Store to buy a big fat juicy MacBook. But maybe I should just rent a server instead 😵‍💫

  @ValerieAnne1970 Yep. My iPhone 11 suddenly started having issues typing messages. Never damaged or wet. Just one day, started acting up. I took it into an Apple Store and was told that it would cost more to ‘fix’ it than to get a new one and they wouldn’t guarantee they could even fix it.

  @AdrianDittmann I broke my phone a few months ago and went to the Apple Store to get it fixed. It was in a very bad shape. The casing was dented and the screen didn’t work at all. He’ll, the screen fell off. It took 2 hrs for them for fix. And that thing looked good as new. I know what he saying

  Because Phone Broke and I couldn't AUTHENTICATE Myself on Google Laptop without @Apple @Walmart phone working, I was in N. Carolina driving north on i-95 alone, figuring out troubleshooting THAT my phone was broken and HOW it was BROKEN, but not BEFORE @Apple locked me out for perpetuity to not ever prove I was human until I entered an APPLE STORE for 3 hours of GREAT customer service in Bridgewater, New Jersey I could NOT call DOCTORS (chronic pain patient, stage 2b breast cancer survivor living with peripheral neuropathy, post-mastectomy pain syndrome, osteopenia, arthritic pain, IBS, to name a few...), I could NO ACCESS access PHARMACY (during mudbutt, as cancer survivor, finding Tick after walk w dogs next to Motel6 gross!), I could NO make a RESERVATION for a hotel down the road, I couldn't contact FAMILY for 48+ hours (until I literally drove up to their house troubleshooting New Jersey JUGHANDLES from suppressed memories?!?) I couldn't AUTHENTICATE Myself for small biz account for while I don't have a backup manager... I had no GPS, but I happen to be smart enough to travel half way across the country without picking up a map or a phone. ONE Lucky strike.

  @Assurant I use my phone for work & this has cost me dividends & impacted me negatively. I’m getting the run around with replacing my iPhone 16 pro & I’ve paid you for coverage for well over a year. I visited the Apple Store diagnostics can’t detect the issue. Replace my device

  Tried Apple’s new hardware leasing option and got sent through @Klarna. Rejected with no explanation, then dumped back to the Apple Store home screen with an empty cart. Apparently Klarna wants you to build a purchase history with them before they’ll “trust” you. If they actually checked my credit history, approval wouldn’t be an issue. Really disappointing to see @Apple outsource financing to a company with a model like this.

  @OzzySkateboard Here are a few bullet points from my week/month/summer/year/decade: I got up to an iPhone 12 that I bought fresh from the Apple Store in the summer of 2022 on my way to the airport to fly for an African Safari vacation. I realized my smashed camera iPhone wasn't gonna do. Only time I ever bought fresh from the store. Four years later I bought my third third iPhone 12, second refurbished iPhone 12 best of the best and got all kinds of screwed over by Walmart and Apple and Allstate Square trade protection plan so I am now mailing in my broken iPhone iPhone 12 and this is one of the last things I will do on this phone, the top half of the touchscreen doesn't work. They are giving me almost what I paid for it only because the seventh operator I talked to acknowledge that I started to return the phone before they anomalously cancel the insurance protection plan six days later. That was a month ago apparently on the books and I've been discussing this with them for three weeks. OK that was very very in-depth and just one bullet point. The end of the bullet point is I'm going to start using an LGK 51 I have lying around and maybe just use it for a map and texting and do literally everything else on my computer if and when I want to accept YouTube I will continue to do on the television from time to time but I will become a lot more selective in the content I view and I am unsubscribing from many many many many content creators who are feeling really bad this week for Perez Hilton, thanks for telling me that y'all are tethered opposition!!!
