  @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.

  Nordics in South Park Mall Charlotte NC, or seven foot tall Swedish Star Wars cosplayers? I did my best to use AI to help me recall what they looked like. My family and I were walking to the Apple Store. I have no memory of reaching the Apple Store. My last memory was “They look like those tall Nordic beings I’ve seen before. She is so hot! Oh wait, they are telepathic and the men are very jealous.” That night I had a dream of them and they invited me to board a saucer shaped craft on the edge of a cliff. But I declined and they were surprised. The next day at work I came down with a rash on my hands and feet . By Wednesday that week I had to take off work and my doctor put me on three types of antihistamines to get the swelling to come down.

  It’s been over a week since my MacBook Pro laptop kicked the bucket. I took it to the Apple Store last Saturday to see what the issue was. When the technician dissembled the MacBook to see what the problem was, he saw dust inside.

  Yesterday, when I visited the Apple Store, I noticed that some people were purchasing mobile phones and other items using cash instead of making online payments; it is quite possible that they use online services as well. I was surprised to see why they were going to the trouble of carrying such a large amount of cash with them.

  His iPhone battery health dropped to 78% after just 1 months of use. He took it to the Apple Store expecting a free battery replacement under warranty. The Genius Bar technician ran every diagnostic. The battery passed every test. The phone wasn't defective. Then she said something he wasn't expecting: "This battery isn't broken. It's been worn down. There are 8 default settings on your iPhone right now that are aging the battery faster than they should and they're all on by default. Apple ships every iPhone with them enabled. Most customers come in here thinking the battery is bad. It's not. The settings are." He asked the obvious question: "Why doesn't Apple turn them off by default?" She didn't answer. She just opened Settings and started walking him through them. Here's everything she showed him in the next 10 minutes. 🧵

  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

  9 out of 10 people replace their iPhone because the battery dies fast. My brother almost did too. Then I opened Settings and changed 7 things in under 10 minutes. His battery went from dying at lunch to lasting all day. Zero cost. Zero Apple Store visit. Here's the exact fix:

  Oh good the other way worked and the article is up for anyone else who is having trouble with posting if this gets posted the issue is probably you have a update check with your Google/apple store and if you do update but then run incognito and load web

  @Kate__KC @Sassafrass_84 @PigWar You are right about that. My son used to work at the Apple store fixing people's phones and iPads. He would talk about how easily they are broken, but then run out as soon as the new one hits the market and buy it. I hate to admit it, but I had my Blackberry until I was required to get my emails on my phone. I went out and got a Galaxy S4. Kept that for over 11 years.

  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.

  Hello @ads, I think there is a problem with adding my app on the Ads platform. I keep getting this error but the id is available on both Google and Apple Store. Although, I tried another Package name and it worked but for this particular app, it's throwing error. What could be the reason.

  @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…

  @IM_Pritchard @InternetH0F Allowing you to fix your battery instead of being forced into buying a new one is a good thing actually because a lot of manufacturers like apple will brick your phone if you attempt to fix it outside of a Apple Store

  @Andrewislington I had to go to the Apple Store and they just plugged it into another Mac to restore it. I could have done it myself but I only own one, and no friends with Macs were nearby at the time hahaha. The main issue was that I hadn't backed anything up so lost loads of files oops

  I feel like buying directly from the Apple Store gives you a better chance of getting a top-quality device. All my iPhones have been carted straight from the Apple Store, and my iPhone 15 and 17 are still at 100% battery health. Even my iPhone 11, which I’ve been using since 2019, is only down to 86% battery health.

  Contrast the quote my experience: An Employer once had a supply issue with equipment supplier. Opened a new bank account that allowed Apple Pay digital cards over email. Created me a card. Sent it over. Transferred cash onto it, apologised profusely and asked if could go to Apple Store (during work hours so fine with me) Nice to know when you’re working with serious people.

  DANIEL CHEN BURNED $14,000 A MONTH ON H100s UNTIL HE WALKED INTO AN APPLE STORE AND BOUGHT 1,000 MAC MINIS. his AI startup was getting magic output and a death certificate at the same time. the cloud bill was eating the runway faster than the product could earn revenue so daniel ran the math on running it locally. one $599 mac mini m4 pulls 10-20 watts, costs $3 a month in electricity, and runs 24/7 forever. one $599 box replaces a $200/month subscription he racked 1,000 of them into a single facility. the whole stack draws less power than one nvidia server while pushing the same throughput then in january 2026 ollama added the anthropic messages API. now claude code itself connects to your local mac mini with one environment variable. same interface, zero API costs apple stores ran out of mac minis the same month. $599 one time beats $200 a month forever and the market figured it out before the press did the window is open. follow and bookmark before it closes.

  Welcome to Apple. Where everything is carefully scripted. That said, lots of Apple employees have told me the same. Building for Apple's scale is much more difficult than being a startup and launching something on a weekend that isn't secure, is nerdy to use. Go to an Apple store and watch some of the classes people are taking. Many are still figuring out how to use their camera on their iPhone. Getting an agentic system into the OS will take a lot more thought than what OpenClaw or Hermes has put in yet, which are systems designed for early adopters/developers who know what they are doing. It makes Apple seem slow and not innovative. I saw the same inside Microsoft when I worked there. Hard to do innovative things when you have a billion users who are on a spectrum of grandmas to nerds. Then there is protection of their existing business models. I have a phone that has a completely agentic operating system on it, which takes away a lot of the business model of app stores and apps. Apple will take years to do such a thing, is my prediction. If you want such a thing (I do) then you gotta look elsewhere unfortunately. (It runs on Android since that OS lets developers do crazy things like that).

  Terrible experience at TRX’s Apple Store. Was minding my own business with my 14 year old walking in front of me when a staff said “make sure your child doesn’t press the glass”. Doesn’t seem like their store and company is too child friendly. Taking my money elsewhere.

  Sign of the time She is so ******* bored and distracted….she wasn’t really looking for trouble, yesterday. “I was just standing there,in an Apple store, USA,and got hit in the face for no reason at all.” What happened next?? Public fights are normal nowadays. Weird.
