  @Seleb411 Download Calfes Wallet from either Google Play Store or Apple Store to get started, create your wallet in simple steps, keep your recovery phrase safe by writing it down probably on a piece of paper. Then explore the world of decentralized finance

  [Please share this for visibility] So Apple locked me out of my Apple Store account (for Lumary) because they need even more documentation! I already gave them my Green Card, my TN ID, and everything they asked for. Terrible user experience, Apple.

  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 🤑

  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

  @Apple We purchased 3 new iPhone 17 pro max less than 3 months ago. One of them has a malfunctioning FaceTime camera that doesn’t work when making a FaceTime call. Multiple technical service calls and in the Apple Store attempts to diagnose and fix have not been able to resolve.

  @ikemenoyume Eh !? Is this Villains all over again or whatー There always seem to be issues with the apple store 🫠🫠 Does that mean the game will still launch for android while apple users have to wait until it's approved (when it's not ready on time) ? 🤔

  @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.

  Apple support has gone down the gutter. AppleCare+ doesn't help either. Waste of money My airpod pro 3 has a hardware defect where the right pod inner hardware starts to shuffle on long runs They denied my warranty claim because their 'test' didn't detect anything in a stationary environment I had an appt at the Apple Store scheduled but it took 30 mins to chat with someone. Another 30 minutes to chat with a manager All for them to say they can't help and that their test was rigorous enough to simulate my 'long run' use case. Sure I could've sworn that their Support used to be much better! Maybe it's location dependent

  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.

  @fwaevon I recently went through this. The smiling kid at the mall kiosk offered to fix my cracked screen for $60 but had to disclose it would void my warranty with Apple. So I went to the Apple store and paid their price. I guess I passed the loyalty test, at least this time.

  @C_inspecto @EricSpracklen @Apple I've had an iPhone 5, 6, and 7. I've also had a Galaxy S3, two S8's, and now have an S22. Hands down, Androids are far better if not only for the easy of use and the fact that they're not chained to the Play Store like iPhones are to the Apple Store.

  I got just about every single new iPhone release since 1.0. I even stood in line 5+ hours a couple of times at the flagship Palo Alto store. Missed the sporadic Steve appearances, though. RIP. One time, I stood there all day for the release of iPhone 4. That's the one where it was glass, front and back. That very night, we were walking back from a restaurant, and I fumbled and dropped it. Shattered. Next day, I go to a different Apple Store, one nearby. They asked me, "how long did you stand in line?" 6 hours, I say. They took extreme pity on me and replaced it with a new one. No charge. Other times, they have done similarly, like when a battery crapped out, and they exchanged it with a refurb. Another time, I jumped in the pool with my X (10.0) and it crapped out from water. Replaced for free. Apple has been exceedingly good to me as a great company. My MacBooks last 8+ years, never a single problem. I replace them simply because it's "time." iPhone 10 (X) was the last one I purchased. See, since about #7, the camera was already better than I could hope for. Met all my needs, and it was a huge step forward in low-light photography. Then with every new release, it seemed to focus (har har) on the camera. Like a huge percentage of the release shindig was about the camera. No other huge developments. By this time, 95% of owners are only going to use the excellent point-and-shoot capabilities. So, in 2020, a few months after moving to Thailand, I asked myself, why am I carrying around a $1,300 phone when I can get everything I need for about $350 (10,000 baht)? So I did. Got a Samsung first, two replacements for the same price point since then, different brands. My latest is a Vivo. I'm sure the 4x more expensive iPhone does better photos, if i were to bother to geek out on that. But I'm fine. And if i break my phone, lose it, or it gets stolen, it's not a panic event. Oh, well, time for a new one.

  @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

  @leonsasson like 6 inches. I didn't even think twice about it, but my screen had cracked and was replaced at the Apple Store so maybe if your screen is replaced then you have an issue?

  @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

  @IrrelevantNerd @beautyskillz Digital movies are very different so no, it's not the same. This is long but it'll help people understand. There's two different versions of digital movies you can buy/get. There's the ones you get from Fandango At Home, Movies Anywhere, Microsoft Store, formerly the PlayStation Store, Apple Store, Google Play Store, etc. These are the ones you have a limited license to VIEW on those platforms only. When you read the EULA for those you'll see it tells you that you own nothing. You just have a license to view it on that platform. Meaning, if that platform goes away? You'll lose access and they have no real obligation to refund you or move platforms for you. That's what you agree to every time they do that. Movie licenses are subject to renewal, gaming licenses are one and done. Renewing the license every few years is what those third party companies do on your behalf. If they can't get it done they lose access which, in turn, means you lose access. The other version of digital movies? You DO own it. Fully. I'll explain it. These digital movies are movies you get directly from the studios that distributed it. Meaning, you bought the DVD or Blu-Ray and the digital code it came with, you used it. You got a code directly from their website store. Or, you got gifted a code or won a code from them or a third party that got the codes from them directly. With that? Once you redeem that code, that movie is yours to keep on one of those platforms I mentioned earlier. Forever. If a platform you bought a code and put your paid movie on goes out of business? They have an obligation to either find you another locker (they use this term for the other digital platforms they house the movies) to store the movie on, or they HAVE to let you download the movies to your personal storage. All of this is in their EULAs. I hope you read it all to get a better understating of the difference between movies and games EULA. A game is never going to get taken from you unless you do one of two things. You break TOS, or you call them and tell them you don't want the license any longer. Also in their EULA. Even if they no longer exist as a company you still own your games digitally. They'll leave you to download them or leave them attached to your username on your consoles. They will not shut down the usernames just because they don't exist as a company. They will keep the agreement in place. That's just how it works. Again, I know this is a long read, but it's very informative.
