  None of this requires spending $249 on a new pair right away. It's three things: check real charging habits, turn off features you don't need, and ask about the $49–$69 official battery replacement before assuming a full replacement is the only option. Go check your AirPods settings right now. If this was useful, RT the first tweet so someone else saves $200 before their next Apple Store visit. And if you've got a specific AirPods battery or connection question, reply and I'll help you track it down.

  @historyinmemes I went to an Apple Store about 8 years back and the network was down so they pulled out those credit card imprinters and special slips. I hadn't seen carbon copy credit card slips since childhood. KA-CHUNK

  [Please share this for visibility] So Apple locked me out of my Apple Store account (for Lumary) because they need even more documentation! I already gave them my Green Card, my TN ID, and everything they asked for. Terrible user experience, Apple.

  @BookitWithTrent @PrizePicks Well I'd like to answer but both options say "decline" which leads me to think that there might be an issue with my phone so I'd take it to the Apple Store for a diagnostics check

  Let’s see: -zero real innovations -losing ground to Android -lying about caring about the environment -sucking up to the government to keep your H-1B hires -iOS getting more bloated and less efficient -iPadOS not living up to the promises -Apple Vision Pro -ditching SIM cards -turning MacOS into basically iOS with extra steps -shutting down an Apple Store in Maryland JUST because they wanted to unionize -Apple Vision Pro -abandoning the Mac Pro for the Mac Studio -abandoning the iMac Pro -APPLE VISION PRO I don’t think so, Tim. 👋

  So I asked the Apple Store technician the same question again: "Do these settings activated by default really protect the user... or are they slowly wearing down the device?" He didn't have an answer. But every iPhone he checked that day had exactly the same 2 options ACTIVATED. Silently heating up in their owners' pockets.

  @Apple @AppStore @AppleSupport I don't think it's professional that waiting 3 days to get a response on Apple Store Connect. This's doesn't fit Apple so far! The iOS app has been in review for almost a week and I'm keep messaging back and forth about changes has been done and still getting some issues from no where. The team reaches out ever 3 days!!! So I need someone from Apple Store Management to get this through.

  Your iPhone has shortcuts Apple never told you about. You've owned it for years and used maybe two of them. A former Apple Store Genius who spent 5 years teaching customers how to use their phones said the same thing happened every day: a customer would come in with a problem that a built-in shortcut already solved. Editing text. Undoing mistakes. Scanning documents. Switching apps. Selecting multiple items. All solvable with a gesture nobody taught them. "Apple builds shortcuts into every corner of iOS and never puts them on the box. There's no tutorial. There's no pop-up tip. There's no guided walkthrough. You either discover them by accident, hear about them from a friend, or use your phone for 5 years without knowing your keyboard is a trackpad, your back panel is a button, and three fingers can undo anything." He said most iPhone owners interact with their phone the slow way tapping, scrolling, switching between apps one at a time when a gesture, a shortcut, or a hidden feature could do the same thing in half the time. "You're doing 40 taps a day that could be 10. The shortcuts are already on your phone. Nobody showed you." Here are the 9:

  @jonhoneyball @dhh Give me the Mac any day. Just had my M1 MPB Max back from the Apple Store repair (£125) and I couldn’t be happier. No interest in Windoze and its endless problems. 🙄 That’s safely confined to a VM.

  6. Free data transfer and setup the service most buyers decline and then struggle alone. When you buy a new iPhone, iPad, or Mac at the Apple Store: the staff will transfer your data from your old device, set up the new one, and walk you through the key features. Free. Most customers say "no thanks, I'll set it up at home" then spend 3 hours figuring out data transfer, re-downloading apps, re-entering passwords, and troubleshooting iCloud sync issues. The Apple Store setup takes 20-30 minutes. They do it while you browse. They transfer contacts, photos, apps, and settings from your old device. They pair your Apple Watch. They configure Face ID. They verify iCloud backup. For seniors and less tech-savvy buyers: the in-store setup eliminates the most frustrating part of a new device. You walk in with an old phone. You walk out with a new phone fully set up, fully loaded, fully working. For Mac buyers: the staff transfers files, settings, and applications from your old Mac to the new one using Migration Assistant. Everything transfers. Even your desktop wallpaper.

  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.

  @bunburyoudoujp Yea im american, and i was raised there and in japan. Wheres the problem. I downloaded x on an american iphone that i bought in america and took the phone to japan, why would i make another apple account? you cant merge them, are you daft? Lose 15 years of movies, apps and music just to have a japanese iphone? there is literally no point. Or did you not also know that if i had purchased an iphone at the shinjuku apple store last month, id still be logging into my american account ive had for 25 years which would open the North American app store because thats where my bank is based, and it would say... connected via north american app store. And since I have netflix and multiple other american services i need a... vpn connected to america, so making this account isnt very hard when you have 2 phone numbers 2 banks and a vpn and and iphone from japan or america LMFAO. Yawl dont even know that that feature was just put there to confuse you idiots evenmore, lull you into a false sense of security that you know who youre talking to. Make you think theres transparency here and you arent talking to some op. Anyways lol "I HAVE PR" stomp stomp stomp. congrats, your fees are still up there and it still has to be renewed which allllllllways means you could be on the chopping block each and every year. And with the way things are going, maybe next year. You didnt naturalize, you made the poor choice of going PR. Youre vulnerable

  If this changes how you use the Apple Store or saves you $229 with an education discount you didn't know existed one ask: Repost the first post so the next person buying a MacBook at full price sees the price match, the trade-in, the free workshops, and the discount they qualify for. Follow [ @jackcoder0 ] I break down the hidden services, retail secrets, and money-saving strategies that companies bank on you not asking about. Next thread: the AppleCare+ honest math when it saves you $300 and when it wastes $269. The decision framework every Apple buyer needs before checkout.

  @Assurant I use my phone for work & this has cost me dividends & impacted me negatively. I’m getting the run around with replacing my iPhone 16 pro & I’ve paid you for coverage for well over a year. I visited the Apple Store diagnostics can’t detect the issue. Replace my device

  @ValerieAnne1970 Yep. My iPhone 11 suddenly started having issues typing messages. Never damaged or wet. Just one day, started acting up. I took it into an Apple Store and was told that it would cost more to ‘fix’ it than to get a new one and they wouldn’t guarantee they could even fix it.

  Boon Tee (@BoonTeeEng) reported 50 minutes ago

  If you bought an iPhone and think paying extra for AppleCare means @Apple will take care of you when the battery becomes practically unusable, think again. Apple’s position is simple: if your battery capacity has not dropped below 80%, they will not cover the battery replacement under AppleCare. My own experience has been extremely disappointing. After almost two years of using my iPhone, the battery has degraded so badly that it can no longer last a full day outside under normal usage. When the phone was new, the same kind of usage could easily last me around two days. I went to the Apple Store. I raised the issue with Apple Support. I formally complained and escalated the case. In the end, the answer was still the same: policy is policy. If the battery is above 80%, replacement is out of pocket. What frustrates me most is the complete lack of regard for the actual user experience. Apparently, it does not matter how badly the battery performs in real life. It does not matter how much the battery has deteriorated. As long as that number on the screen has not crossed Apple’s magic 80% line, the answer is no. So much for paying for AppleCare and expecting meaningful support when the product has clearly degraded. Very disappointed with Apple. @tim_cook

  We finally got something from Apple that brings us one step closer. We got declined, but we only need to fix the issue and apply again. We need to add Face ID or a password to the app. After that, we should be in the Apple Store. Be ready. Givest will be the future of RWA on-chain. It’s never been this easy to send a stock. Soon, you’ll be able to send stocks like it was an SMS (like, for real).
