    Just wanted to share an update regarding this issue. I spoke with one of Apple's Senior Advisors in Indonesia, and they explained that my replacement request couldn't be approved because Indonesia doesn't have an Apple Store—only Apple Authorized Service Provider. The Apple Authorized Service Provider denies to replace my phone. They suggested that I visit an Apple Store in Singapore or Malaysia instead, as those are the closest countries to me with official Apple Stores, and they should be able to replace my phone there. Will I fly to Singapore or Malaysia just for a replacement? Definitely not. Plane tickets aren't cheap these days. I'll treat this as a lesson learned, and hopefully it can be a lesson for you guys too—especially if you live in Indonesia or another country without an Apple Store. Do I blame Apple? No. They actually offered to replace my phone from the very beginning, but I chose not to accept it. That said, I really wish Apple would open an official Apple Store here in Indonesia.

    I have to say, Apple's payment system has some serious issues.@AppleSupport When I tried to apply my $100 account balance to a checkout order on the Apple Store, the credit was applied correctly. I am trying to purchase four AirTags for same-day delivery, which requires me to pay an additional $15. The system gave me several payment options: Apple Card, Visa, or Apple Pay. I tried every single one of those options. Even though I correctly entered all of my personal information and billing address, I kept receiving the same error message: "Your payment authorization failed. Please verify your information and try again, or try other payment methods." Furthermore, I encountered several front-end bugs during the checkout process, such as misaligned icons. There was also an issue where the Apple Pay interface would open but remain completely blank. I would like the Apple team to look into these issues.

    does anyone else remember when @Apple was a good company with great products? back when apple store associates used to help you with your issues instead of upselling? back when their devices used to work properly for longer than 6-12 months? when they use to innovate technology?

    I first visited the Apple Store in Jaipur when the problem was intermittent. The technicians couldn't reproduce the issue, so no defect was found at that time. Now that the issue has become frequent, I revisited the store and was informed that the display needs replacement. (5/8)

    @ProtonSupport Here’s what the proyon ai says. The operation couldn’t be completed. (Common networking.VpnApiService) Error error 0.) Once that was cleared then this popped up on trying to access the account “Invalid Refresh Token”. Proton support couldn’t get past that but did give me a web page to try to figure it out. I searched the forums and tried the sequential steps from the link given me until bed time. Next morning I removed the VPN file and reloaded a fresh file. I then got a message from Pay Pal ( I had made a purchase through the Apple store. ) So I immediately got connected to Pay Pal and showed them the files. She sent a file that showed I had been charged for a software I already had a paid contract for a year ago. I was told they would check out my info and get back to me. I got an auto email and the charge had gone through so it couldn’t be stopped. At that point I had no vpn on two lap-tops but still had proton mail on both. Awhile latter I received an email that Pay Pal would cover the refund that will take several days to show up. I have a Proton Plus that has Mail and VPN that Proton Ai immediately the blocked now 4 days ago they say because I filed a greviance. It won’t be addressed until July 5th. I have received NOTHING from proton? I suspect I’m not the only one that has run into this. Look through all your support tickets and fix them all not just mine that’s in the public.

    Thanks to @Apple slow *** resolving on Apple Store issues, I have missed a limited time purchase. Taking 3 whole business days to resolve a purchase out of registered Apple Storeregion issue in 2026. As if people can't migrate overseas while using the same store is insane.

    @Derceto00 @2_Old_4_Gaming @RetroGamer_Daz Why do y'all say this? Where is it a rental? Please show me where a game has been completely removed after a certain amount of time from someone's library? It's NOT a rental! You are buying a license! That license CAN be revoked but so can your driver's license. Does that mean you're only renting your car if you break the law and they take away your license to drive? No. You are the owner of that license along with the publishers that you acquired it from. That agreement WILL NOT BREAK as long as you don't break any of the TOS. even if they close down forever. You still get to keep your games. I'm sick of reading this rental nonsense because it's simply not true and not how this works. "but what about the 500 movies Sony took!" Movies are not games! Movies you get from a third party EXPLICITLY tells you that YOU DON'T OWN THIS! What you're buying is a license to view it from that third party as long as THEY have their license to carry that movie renewed. There's never a time you can show me in the EULA for games where they can just arbitrarily take games from you and that you're only renting them. It doesn't state that. Movies have licensing agreements in place with platforms like Fandango, Apple Store, Google Play Store, Movies Anywhere, etc, where they can carry those movies on your behalf as you buy the license to watch them on those platforms. The EULA explicitly says this to you. The ONLY way a digital movie is yours forever is if you bought it first hand from the studios that made it. That means when you purchase a movie from their own website, the DVDs and Blu-ray codes that come in the boxes, or they gave you a code to use directly. You still watch them on those platforms but if one of those platforms ever shut down? They are obligated to move your collection over to another "locker", which is what they call it in the EULA, OR give you the ability to download the movies so you keep them forever. They HAVE to do this as it is in their EULA and that's what they agreed on with you as the purchaser. Games? They don't have limited licenses like that, typically. You'll run into a licensed game from Marvel or DC or Star Trek, Nickelodeon, or licensed music, etc, and those games have limited licenses physically and digitally. That's why a lot of those games get delisted or they have to remove the music just like GTA had to do a few years ago. Delisting doesn't mean you can't play what you've bought though. That's what I need people to understand. Delisting is not de-platforming. It's not the same thing. I have purchased delisted games since 2017 and they are still ready for me to play digitally. You keep them. They just aren't available for purchase for anyone else that may want them digitally. Physical games get delisted and moved from store shelves all the time too. Deadpool is a great example of a game no longer in regular circulation and you can only really find it used for high prices on eBay. Effectively that game is out of commission because of that physically. Digitally? You can still play it if you bought it before they delisted it. It's not gone forever. It's there. I hope you really take time out to read all of this and try to understand that You've been misinformed on this stuff and that digital gaming is not what you've been thinking. There's some drawbacks just like there will be with physical games. The true issue needing addressing with all digital platform is the refund, trade, and selling policies that Sony has to change up. They will have to change them to match Steam because that's their direct competition now. I do think they will announce changes to those soon.

    24+ hours later my @TMobile eSIM still won’t activate on my brand new iPhone. I’ve spent hours with @TMobileHelp, visited a T-Mobile store for over an hour, and even went to the Apple Store. Apple believes the issue is on T-Mobile’s provisioning side.

    A guy walked into an Apple Store to buy a MacBook Air. He walked out having spent $2,100 on a $999 laptop. He thought he made smart choices the whole time. His brother in law, who worked Apple retail for 9 years, watched the receipt and just shook his head. In the parking lot he said: "You didn't buy a laptop today. You bought seven upsells wrapped around a laptop. The storage tier. The AppleCare pitch. The trade in number. The 'while you're here' accessories. None of it is random. Every rep is trained to hit those seven moments in that order." He broke down 9 tricks Apple retail uses and the counter move for each one. Two months later the brother bought his own MacBook using the playbook. Same store. Same model. $760 less. Here's everything he said.

    @BUNN I got a cup of coffee tonight at a Big Apple Store which had two BUNN Touch Screen Coffee Machines. One would think a company as big as @BUNN that is focused on coffee would know how to spell ColOmbian coffee (Not ColUmbian). Hopefully it is something you can fix remotely

    @ShishirShelke1 The Apple Store in Taiwan looking like a giant MacBook from above is exactly the kind of detail-first design Apple is known for. Most companies would slap a logo on a box. Apple treats every retail touchpoint as a product design problem. This level of commitment to the brand experience is why Apple's retail stores generate more revenue per square foot than any other retailer in the world.

    @JMW_BOYZ The problem is that in places like here we have voices and the absolute fraction of us that comment seem to think in one certain way. I love going to CeX and buying bags full of DvD's for a buck a pop. I picked up a PS1/PS3/XboxOG and have a mountain of old games that I used to play or want to play for mere fraction of the price. But those are brick and mortar with things like rent/employees/insurance/utilities. Massive overhead. The real truth is that it's pretty clear CeX gets the majority of their stuff for nothing or close to it, with a lot of 'new' stuff being overstock/damage from high street retail. Physical media has been dying for ages, and I get it. I have a massive amount in steam. When I had lost everything I physically owned it was so nice to login to steam, and still retain everything. The larger issue is that Valve is the outlyer, I don't think people would mind so much if it wasn't for megacorps like SONY who treat a 'sale' more like a decade rental. Even my Apple store stuff is mostly all gone now. Funny how people don't cry about that one.

    @that_john_doe @aaronp613 Firstly these device are obsolete now, second the firmware that was unsigned was the newest one for the model not some old firmware Also iPhone's slow down and overheat when the battery is bad, change that battery in an Authorized Service or Apple Store and see performance go up

    Still struggling. I need to create releases for 3 apps on the Apple Store, fix releases on Google Play, fix the web hook for RankGoat to create posts for my business, integrate the eBay API for inventory management in CAUN, test CoinTrade, finish the TubeBinder MVP, and make 1.5B. When will I get it done if I do nothing?

    @spiritchihiro MacBook Pro a few months ago. Told myself I’m walking out of the Apple Store tomorrow, with a working MacBook Pro (mine was broken and I had no money to get it fixed or buy a new one). Couldn’t be fixed. So my Mum just said there and then I’ll buy you a new one, and she did?

    African AI has an economy problem. We don’t have an Apple Store in Nigeria. We don’t have that kind of purchase power. Until we create proper consumer purchasing power we will just be renting ambition from foreign capital. Data is where we are and we need to do that well to get to the next level.

    @devops_nk I had the same issue on my mbp m4. The official Apple Store diagnosed it as a motherboard failure. My warranty had expired, so it costed me 68k to repair. Since yours is still under warranty, I’d recommend taking it to Apple instead of trying temporary fixes.
