  @jase0806 @WWESuperCard How can we open a complaint with apple store or google play to look into this game and the constant fraud going on. @wwesupercard lied about that other pack last week. (grande americanos). how did they fix that? do we get our money back or inboxed the Correct equipment?

  @vlmxs @SnazzyLabs Speeds are really down in a clumsy environment. Tried it in our local Apple Store and it came out weird that some pages took loading more than 10 seconds. Then ran Speedtest and the speeds capped at about 30 Mb/s, while the store had 1 Gb/s wireless (I was the only customer).

  @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…

  @MtSilvr @KirscheVerstahl I love the apple store. One day, you walk in and say you want an orange. You like oranges better. The store owner says, "everyone must want oranges," and starts selling oranges. Now, no one shows up to the apple store, and it goes out of business. This is the problem.

  Yeah, it could, but it won't. People steal things that are locked down all the time. I mean, even the Apple Store display models get stolen all the time, and those have a special version of iOS that runs on them, so you can't do anything with them anyway; they're paperweights. My concern is the ability for Apple, or any tech company for that matter, to be able to remotely disable a device, whether you are a criminal or not.

  like sure I'm a nutjob or whatever, but "sir for $75 you can be taking it into the apple store, and we can be pleased to address your issue" just die lol. I don't care. waste my time, waste my life sure, but really? $75 just for me to bring it to you? How about $75,000 and you can go die.

  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).

  back in 2023 I took it to a different Apple Store and my laptop was in worse condition (it was broken) but they repaired it so quickly. But this Apple Store was so terrible. all but one of the workers actually cared from the beginning when I spoke to them.

  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 🔥

  @AppleSupport I’ve now spent over 6 hours between Apple Store visits and phone support regarding an unresolved trade-in/store credit issue involving my iPhone upgrade. Senior Advisor escalation still has not resolved it and promised callbacks never occurred. Looking for Assis

  @Aina_Ai2 Thank you for this. My iPhone 15 pro max started heating when summer started. 6 months of misery like you describe. I went to our Apple Store and asked if the 17 pro would eliminate this heating problem, I was told “it should, Apple put a cooling chamber in it” ; I asked if they could guarantee the 17 pro would stay cool and was told “no, we can’t do that “. The store gives us only 14 days to return the product if there are problems. My 17 pro with the “cooling chamber “ has the same heating problem my 15 Pro Max had (heating and screen going black). I missed taking a lot of photos and videos of nephews and nieces playing junior baseball because of this heating problem.

  @Aziii_6890 @AppleSupport @Apple Same problem with mine. Can't access the Apple store and there's no way to update and download apps. Because and without the Apple account (ID) the iPhone is useless!

  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.

  I've been buying Apple products for 20 years—iPhones, iPads, Macs, smartwatches, Apple TVs, etc. Yesterday, I had a terrible experience at the #Apple Store in #Valencia: awful advice and service. Time to switch to Android?

  @ZunairaAi It sounds frustrating to deal with persistent storage issues despite taking all the right steps. I hope the Apple store was able to help find a solution.

  She is so distracted,******* bored actually. She wasn’t 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?? Is it in social media? Public fights are normal,nowadays.Weird.

  @Koutchboom There aren’t any actual Disney Stores left anymore. But there’s a concept there that could be expanded upon. The Apple Store isn’t a terrible idea actually, but it would have to be executed the right way to bring in numbers. It would have to be a local bastion of the Disney exp.

  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.
