  @MoshiMoshiMoan Ethan Ralph probably has less than $9000 US left. He probably sold the stolen MacBook to pay for *******. It should interesting when @scarletthampt0n decides to lock the stolen MacBook down preventing anyone from using it with MacOS. It would require a US Apple Store to unbrick it. With his temporary residency visa expiring, he may be back in the US soon.

  @Apple @AppleSupport you guys need to fix this rubbish issue with the AirPods 4. My pods keeps dropping and reconnecting from my device and I’ve taken it to the Apple Store three times now! It’s getting ridiculous!!!

  Your M4 Mac is broken. And no, the Apple Store won't fix it fast or cheap. We will.

  I don't know. I'm sure it's pretty, but this looks like an Apple Store on wheels. Where are the physical controls? I'll take real engineering that solves real problems. My two cents.

  purchasing a new (or newer) iPhone from the store. I have been a faithful user of Apple products since 2018 (I’ve owned a 8 Pro, an XR and the 12 PM I currently use). This is the first time that I’ve ever had an issue with someone in any Apple store. If the repair tech doesn’t

  @qumailakhtar @gharkekalesh There's a limit for how many days I don't know. If there's any issue by that time, customers can reach Reliance. If it's over the time limit customers should go to apple store.

  So, going back to the question l asked the technician at the Apple Store: "Are these default settings really protecting the user, or are they silently wearing down the device?" He didn't have an answer. But every iPhone he tested that day had the same 2 switches TURNED ON. Silently burning in the owner's pocket.

  @abdool_moh Well, if you buy a phone from Apple Store and it had an issue you can take it to them for repair…if the issue cannot be addressed they’ll give you a brand new one sometimes for free while sometimes you have to pay something depending on the cause of the repair…

  A man noticed his phone storage kept showing “full” after 18 months — even though he barely had any photos. He deleted apps. Cleared messages. Removed downloads. Still, every couple of weeks, the same warning returned: “Storage Almost Full.” He was ready to upgrade and buy a new iPhone. At the Apple Store, an employee stopped him for a second: “Before you spend $1,000 on a new phone, check this first.” She opened Settings → General → iPhone Storage and immediately spotted the problem. “There are 7 things quietly eating your storage. Most iPhones have them enabled by default — and almost nobody knows about them.” Then she walked him through everything in less than 10 minutes. 🧵

  @Supersonic_Red @refueled Reading your post was such a walk down memory lane. I was just having a conversation about my generation with the Apple Store technicians a few days ago. My partner gets in trouble all the time by refusing to acknowledge how important passwords are.

  The Ultimate Takeaway: Taking Back Your Phone She walked out of the Apple Store at 2:45 PM. Her wallet was exactly as full as when she walked in. Her battery was at 82%. And for the first time in six months, she didn't feel a knot in her stomach about finding a wall plug. The Situation: We almost always blame the physical battery. We think our phones are just getting old, or broken, or that we simply use them too much. We accept living in a constant state of low-battery anxiety, carrying heavy power banks and tangled white cables everywhere we go like we are carrying life support. The System Reality: When you take a brand new smartphone out of the box, it is not actually set up to serve you. It is set up by default to serve app developers, advertisers, and the parent company. It is set up to constantly pull data, refresh feeds, track your location, and report back to base. The Technical Drain: Think about it: you are spending over a thousand dollars on a device, but out of the box, that device is working a full-time, 24/7 shadow job behind your back. It is burning through its own life span and your battery percentage to do things you never even asked it to do. The Fix: Take 12 minutes today to walk through these settings. Turn off the background noise. Shut down the silent trackers. Put up boundaries. Tell your apps they are only allowed to work when you physically tap on them and ask them to work. The Result: Two weeks later, the woman went to bed at 11:00 PM. She placed her phone on her nightstand to charge for the night. The screen lit up: 34%. This is not just about saving your battery life. It is about taking back ownership of your device. It is about getting a clear peace of mind and making sure you own your phone, instead of letting your phone own you.

  Since I posted about @greyfinance and they fixed the issue, a few people have been asking if the USD card works for buying X Premium. The answer is yes, it does ✅ Glad I was able to bring a few more people to the app too. I’m always open to deals and partnerships we’re only growing from here. 🚀 And hey, don’t forget to download @greyfinance from the Play Store or Apple Store and check it out for yourself

  @PhoenixCharts @Schmavid1 @NortonMpls It must be comforting to confidently write a daily fanfiction about how the biggest issues just so happen to be the handful of things you're already mad about. Yes babygirl, rioters burned down the Apple Store but not until after we'd decided to leave Amazing Thailand untorched.

  YES! Mac Mini at $599 is killing AI subscriptions Developers are massively ditching Claude Code, ChatGPT Pro, and Cursor — switching to local models running on Mac Mini M4. One Reddit post ("spent $170 in 10 days on Claude Code") triggered a wave: someone replied "bought a Mac Mini — haven't paid Anthropic since", and that same week the mini-computers disappeared from Apple Store shelves. Why it works:The M4 chip with unified memory (120 GB/s) runs large models more efficiently than a $1,500 Windows PC with a dedicated GPU. Since January 2026, Ollama supports the Anthropic API format — Claude Code connects to a local server with a single environment variable. Cost per request: $0. The math is simple:A heavy developer spends ~$459/month on AI subscriptions = $5,500+ per year. The Mac Mini pays for itself in under 3 months, after that — $3 a month in electricity. Marcus Chen took it furthest — he built a rack of 30 Mac Minis as his personal AI farm. Those who own the infrastructure today will have years of advantage tomorrow.

  The uncomfortable truth: Apple's business model rewards storage anxiety. The more often customers see "Storage Almost Full," the more likely they are to: 1. Pay for iCloud subscriptions 2. Upgrade to higher-storage models 3. Buy a new iPhone entirely Every default setting on a new iPhone trends in the direction of consuming more storage, not less. The 7 fixes above take 10 minutes total. They cost nothing. They will recover an average of 40-60 GB on most iPhones over 12 months old. The Apple Store employee said one more thing before he left: "We see this every day. Most people don't even check Settings → General → iPhone Storage before they walk in. They just assume the phone is too small for them. It almost never is." RT this so more iPhone users stop spending $1,000 on a storage problem that could be solved with 7 toggles.

  @tim_cook Dear Apple Support Team, I am writing to express my extreme frustration regarding a persistent and severe heating issue with my device. Despite visiting the Apple Store approximately 7-8 times and undergoing multiple physical, software, and hardware checks, the problem remains unresolved. My case was reportedly transferred to the international team overseeing PAN India operations, yet I have received no effective response. Furthermore, the support messaging team has stopped replying to my messages. While an RMA was filed and I have submitted requested logs twice, every follow-up call results in a disconnection or a repetitive request for the same logs I have already provided. The heating issue I am experiencing is abnormal and paranormal in nature, persisting even after a full software reload and hardware inspection. This is not just a technical flaw; it is a significant health and safety hazard. Using a device that reaches these temperatures is dangerous, and I am deeply disappointed by the lack of customer centricity and urgency shown by Apple regarding this matter. I request that this case be treated as a top priority. I am seeking an immediate resolution, whether through a definitive repair or a full replacement of the device, as the current situation is unacceptable. I look forward to your immediate response and a concrete plan to resolve this issue. Case ID - 102905743860

  @Lordmiles Therefore the supply chain means its not about just walking to buy the Iphone and Airpods from the Apple store down the street. Theres a whole supply chain of driving armored trucks down non existent roads for no reason at all because Zambu money is worthless.

  My MacBook Pro just stopped working from error messages to having these options and tried it all - see image. Also ran diagnostics, spoke to Apple Support last night and took the mac to apple store today - they were not able to help! They couldnt find the storage device - thats it. I’ve used @grok thus far + @AppleSupport phone & in-store support. Who can help and get me past this problem?
