  @yonann Lost me at "Perception of Customer Support" Have a problem, go to Apple store and they handle it. W/ Apple Care no issues. PC, who do I go to? Best buy, where they upsell/run-around try to sell x. Time is your most valuable asset! *Cough

  1/ Parents, we don’t have to choose between protecting our kids and protecting our privacy. Unrestricted smartphones should be treated like alcohol: 21 and older only. Nothing changes for adults. 2/ Here’s the part no one talks about: I cannot protect my child from what’s on their classmate’s phone. One unrestricted device and the whole group has access to the full adult internet. That’s the real problem we need to solve.3/ Privacy is the line between a person and a possession. A slave was property because someone else claimed the right to watch, record, control, permit, and deny his life. A free person requires privacy.4/ Some people say “if a liquor store can check an ID, so can the Apple Store.” That sounds simple… but it’s not the same thing. A liquor store checks you once, in person, for one item. Turning every app, website, and device into a permanent ID checkpoint creates a surveillance system for adults. That’s not protection — that’s control.5/ We all agree kids shouldn’t have unrestricted access to pornography, gambling, addictive feeds, and strangers. The easy fix is right in front of us: Stop handing children unrestricted adult-grade devices by default.6/ Make youth-safe electronics the standard for anyone under 21 — unless a parent is directly supervising. If a company wants its phone, app, or operating system in a child’s life, it should prove it belongs there. Adults keep buying and using whatever they want. No digital ID. No face scans. No adult internet passport.7/ This protects kids at the device level before they ever reach the adult internet. It keeps adults completely free. Privacy for grown-ups. Safety for kids. We can have both.8/ Parents — does this make sense? Drop a 🔥 if you agree we should protect children without forcing every adult to surrender their privacy. What’s the one thing that worries you most about kids and phones right now?

  ok so I just saw the most unhinged tech setup and I need to talk about it someone stacked like 50+ Mac Minis on a shelf. yellow shelf. looks like a construction site met an Apple Store. and honestly?? this is lowkey genius and I'm mad nobody told me sooner because here's the ***** secret — the M-series Mac Mini might be the best value compute unit on the market right now. per watt, per dollar, per cubic inch of space. it destroys traditional server hardware in efficiency. it just doesn't LOOK like serious infrastructure so people dismiss it but some guy in a random office somewhere said you know what, I don't need a $400k rack from Dell. I need 60 of these bad boys, some ethernet, and a dream. and now he has a build/test pipeline that probably runs faster than your company's entire cloud setup no loud fans. no special power requirements. no "enterprise support contract" where someone charges you $800 to restart a service. just apples. wall to wall apples. the chair sitting lonely in the corner of the shot is sending me. someone WORKS there. they just sit next to the apple army every day and think nothing of it we are not the same #ai #macmini #macmini4

  The biggest problem with Unicorn is that they keep fake apple devices. All the apple devices you buy from them will have a super fast decline in battery health. I got the same device from Apple Store delhi and unicorn and the unicorn one I had to sell off within 6 months

  this is my plan for this month: 1. first, i’ll focus on nomi and try to build and ship the app on the apple store. 2. after that, i’ll start working on sortai. i want to make it a useful tool for founders to solve marketing problems, especially around ugc content and app marketing. 3. the third project could be a big b2b technical saas project. what’s your plan for this month? feel free to drop it below. i’d love to hear what you’re building. let’s go 🔥

  someone stacked 5 Mac Minis on their desk and built a private AI cluster that runs models no single machine could handle no cloud, API key, no monthly bill and no data leaving the room. the tool is called exo(open source) it connects multiple machines over your local network and splits the model across all of them like one giant GPU. what this setup actually does: 5 Mac Minis networked together = combined RAM that can run 70B+ parameter models locally exo handles the distribution automatically you just point it at your machines and it figures out the rest the node graph on screen shows each machine as a node passing inference layers to the next one latency is fast enough for real use. not a toy or demo. a working private inference cluster total hardware cost: less than one month of serious cloud GPU rental the thing nobody talks about: when you run inference locally across your own machines, you own the entire stack. no rate limits. no context window restrictions from a provider. no terms of service. no outage at 2am killing your pipeline. most people think running serious AI locally requires a $30,000 server rack this guy built it from hardware you can buy at any 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.

  i made 3 apps published on apple store last month, and only 1 of them made money, around 430$, cuz the app was for solving a problem i was dealing with. the name is PingRev, it gives the new order alert on ios from woocommerce stores with cha-ching sound like shopify, and also showing analytics for all my site combined the other two apps: one app i modify from akinator, the other app i modify from slapmac: Fame Oracle and Baby Tap still havent made any dough yet

  @_TheJasonC Let’s not forget the trust factor. I’ve seen plenty of stories about the poor customer service with Samsung. I’ve experienced it myself with issues with trade ins. They’ve tried to tell me I didn’t send in a device in the condition I said it was. The minute I mentioned having photos and videos of the condition and me packing it up, all of a sudden, they weren’t going to try to issue a charge back to me anymore. That happened a few times. Then, there’s the turn around for repairs. I’ve had a few things repaired by Apple and they’ve had them back to me within a few days. Shipped out on Monday and back to me by Wednesday. I’ve seen people have Samsung take weeks to months. Also, the ability to easily message with Apple support through iMessage. There’s trust that if you have an issue, you will be able to get ahold of someone and they’ll do their best to help you if they can. Yes, there can be the occasional poor support, but it’s far less often than the numbers I’ve seen with issues with Samsung. Google has their issues as well. My sister had an issue with her Pixel 6 Pro. They replaced it 4 times before she got so frustrated that she ended up just buying the 9 Pro XL. Neither Google nor Verizon seemed to understand the importance of keeping the customer happy. She was close to getting an iPhone and switching carriers. She’s been a Pixel user since the first Pixel. Apple is about not only the ecosystem but their post sales support and how they stand behind their products. Things like, if I switch from individual services to Apple One, they’ll refund the unused days prorated. Things like, when I had some dead pixels form on a MacBook Pro Display, I took it into the Apple Store, they ran some test and while they were doing those tests, they had things my son could do so he wasn’t bored and as a parent that is significant. He played some games on an iPad and watched something on the Apple TV. I’ve not once walked into an Apple Store and been ignored. But, I’ve tried to get help from Samsung reps inside a Best Buy and it was like I was asking a lot of them. It’s about training of their staff and how their employees treat the customers. I’ve never felt rushed either. I was picking up an iPhone, last year and did a trade in and they let me make sure everything was transferring over and made sure I didn’t need anything while my apps and settings transferred over and my carrier service moved over. The store closed and they let us finish up what we were doing while they did their closing duties. When we left, then had a bag with candy that each of us (my wife, son and I) got to take some. It was around some holiday. For me, it’s like being part of a family or big friend group. It comes down to how often have I been frustrated vs how often have I been very pleased with my experience and even had someone go above and beyond what I expected. Those experiences create loyalty.

  I bought a set of AirPods Pro from Laptops Direct about a year ago. I have a problem with the left AirPod charging, and I went to an Apple Store to have them look at it today. Astonishingly, I discovered at the Apple Store that the serial number is tied to a date of purchase from 2024 in a Walmart in the United States. Avoid this retailer.

  @eko32eko7 @DrClownPhD @9mmsmg That's exactly what happened to me, there was an issue with my Apple ID and no amount of support tickets or going into an Apple store got it fixed. I finally got so frustrated that I switched to Android. At first I didn't like it but now I can't imagine going back.

  PS a few days ago we actually went to Rimowa Copenhagen to fix the previous cracks (in quote tweet) They brushed us off and said they couldn't help us and we'd have to get it fixed in Lisbon where we bought it Which is funny cause if I break my MacBook Pro, I can literally bring it into any official Apple Store anywhere and they'll fix it Or if I lose my debit card, Revolut will send me a new one anywhere in the world and it'll arrive in a day or so! The point of service is especially when it's a suitcase, you're probably traveling when it breaks, and you want to either get it fixed or get a temporary replacement while yours get fixed, so you can keep traveling That's what I mean with premium luxury service that I'm happy to pay a lot for!

  @BeSovereign_1 @0xEthan No. iOS is inherently a problem as it require someone to KYC themself to publish on Apple store. You could compile a version yourself and side load it in theory.

  Can’t find it because the search function is broken but I am thinking about the email exchange in the Epstein files involving Barak and Koren discussing headphones being returned at a specific Apple store location in NYC. Which was obviously coded talk about moving something
