  @BillyBostickson Yeah ‘advanced search’ is a privilege they expect us to pay for now. But if you do ever end up subscribing, make sure you do it via a web browser login and not via the iOS app. Apple Store adds a whopping 40% extra to the cost of a monthly/annual subscription. Extortion so high, it should be criminal.

  @the_transit_guy Down that same stretch you also have the Apple Store and the Boylston entrance of the Prudential Center. It’s hardly an outlier let’s be serious. “Just a block for Newbury” means nothing. It’s not Newbury.

  Apple is not doing well at all, what the actual hell? Bought three MacBook Airs a week ago for my team members and almost forgot about it. Why did we unbox them like a kid on Christmas day, only to discover that two of them straight up had NO power adapters in the box. Just the laptop sitting there looking pretty and completely useless. I called the supplier and he's telling me two must be EU/UK and they don't ship with chargers, only US ship with adapters. Werey even sent me bill for two chargers immediately. What is all the nonsense “in the name of compliance” or whatever eco-friendly PR stunt? Where exactly do you expect me to magically pull chargers from @AppleSupport ? Thin air? The nearest Apple Store at 2 a.m.? Or My neighbor’s junk drawer? This is such a **** move. Paying full price for three machines and you’re making me run around hunting for bricks like it’s 2010. Ship every ******* box with adapter or fix your packaging and least slap a warning on the box. Ridiculous.

If your battery health is still above 80%, you may be pushed toward a new iPhone when a battery replacement could solve the problem. Before your next Genius Bar visit, here are 5 things Apple employees may not tell you—according to someone who worked behind the bar:

  The uncomfortable truth. Apple shipped Wallet with every iPhone for 12 years. They added car keys in 2020. Home keys in 2021. Digital ID in 2022. Transit, boarding passes, insurance, and loyalty cards have been building quietly since 2014. But the app icon is a picture of a credit card. The setup wizard doesn't mention car keys. The Apple Store employee doesn't walk you through transit passes. The iPhone ad doesn't show someone unlocking their front door with their wrist. Apple marketed Wallet as a payment app. Then they built it into a physical-life replacement platform one feature per year, one category at a time, without ever updating the way they talk about it. Most iPhone owners see the Wallet icon and think: "That's where my credit card lives." They're right. It's also where their car key, their home key, their driver's license, their hotel key, their boarding pass, their transit card, their insurance card, their event tickets, and their cash card live. Or could live if they opened the app past the first card they added. "I used to empty my pockets every night onto the nightstand phone, wallet, keys, cards, badges. Now I set down one phone. Everything else is inside it. Has been for years. I just never set it up." Apple Wallet isn't a payment app. It's the app that replaces the objects you've been carrying your entire adult life. Apple just never told you because 'tap to pay' fits on a billboard, and 'digital replacement for your entire pocket' doesn't. 9 features. 35 minutes. One pocket. Everything else is in the drawer. The wallet was always in the phone. You just never unpacked it.

  Dont take this as something bad or fud. This shows that we work, while it might take time, Apple has rules. When we fixed this issue and shipped it, our app Should be live on Apple Store.

  @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

  @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.

  @13_T_C It uses the xpub so we shouldn’t have any problems. But who knows really. Make sure you use the right one and not a scam. A guy last year lost 6 Bitcoin because he downloaded a fake sparrow app from the Apple Store. They have no app.

  @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.

  WHAT THESE DIAGNOSTICS CAN TELL YOU Before you spend money on a repair, you can find out: • If your battery is genuinely worn out, or still healthy • If touch-screen issues are hardware-related and not just a software glitch • If your microphone, speakers, or sensors are starting to fail • If poor signal is caused by your iPhone or your carrier's network • If key parts have been replaced or the device was previously opened The difference? You walk into the Apple Store knowing what's wrong instead of guessing. Knowledge is expensive only when you don't have it.

  My iPad Air, bought in Feb this year, has terrible battery drain during streaming or video calls—100% to 20% in just 4 hours. I’ve visited the Apple Store and contacted Apple Support, but still no resolution. @AppleSupport @Apple, please look into this.

  Today wasn’t a good day. I was already dealing with a lot and on top of everything, it was August 15th a date that carries so much pain for so many of us. Later there was an issue with my phone and I had to leave it at the Apple Store for about four hours .So I found a quiet corner and started reading with no phone I ended up reading for hours, until I fell asleep. When I woke up, I genuinely felt like a completely different person. And that’s when it hit me. Something as simple as reading, learning, escaping into a book, and understanding the words in front of you is a privilege that millions of Afghan girls have been denied for five years. Now imagine being told you cannot learn. That you don’t have the right to read or write. You might think, who would be crazy enough to say that? But yes this is the reality for girls and women in Afghanistan in 2026. Five years later, they are still being denied one of the most basic human rights: the right to learn.

  Okay this is weird. But I don't know why Apple review team is facing Purchase issue during the review. Like I have 11 testers for this app in testflight, none of them ever faced this. After I got this notif, I checked it myself again, worked flawlessly. Anyone has any ideas ?? What to check ?? I have covered the basics like rev cat config, apple store subs etc etc. But its working for everyone, all the internal and external testers. How is this possible ?

  My wife went to @Apple store to get my exchanged iPhone. No box, nothing. She had to take it out of the box which “is used to send back the broken iPhone”. What a nice customer service. I’ll pass over the fact that the guy was totally mansplaining her and she had to pay MY bill because Apple can’t find a way to send me a paiement link for me to pay it. When did Apple got so bad at customer care ?
