  @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

  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.

  @ravikiran_dev7 Take it to the Apple store, ask them to diagnose an issue that doesn't exist. They will return it to you completely spotless.

  Malko - my bedtime app blocker got rejected from apple store review. The turnaround time was quite fast! Last time I had to wait for 20 days for a rejection. Here are the reasons. 1. Incompatible with iPad - I have marked the app as iphone only. I'm not sure why they tested it on ipad. It may be easier to fix this than argue with them. 2. Paywall content - it does not clearly describe what the user will receive for the price. Seems an issue with messaging. Will rework and resubmit. Approval coming in any day now!

  @WallStreetApes @JohnRavenda I believe this. I had my prior iPhone it was working fine no issues whatsoever. One night it notified me of upcoming update. I picked up my phone in the morning and it would not turn on. Brought it to Apple store they told me they could not fix it.

  @snoozlessnow @JohnHann04 You’re getting a red check mark if you don’t update- or one for not confirming age later. I had to update to see if it would fix my Smarters app (it didnt anyway). But either way youre getting a red mark if using the uk Apple Store

  @gailalfaratx Is that Tim Cook who kept grok down the bottom of the apps in the Apple Store where people could not find it, even though it was the most popular app? Tim Cook is lucky Elon didn’t punch him. Elon is a sweetheart :) I don’t know if I would be so merciful towards Tim lol

  8. Hire from hard mode. McNeill challenged hiring Apple retail people for Tesla. Apple store workers were often "order takers." He wanted Microsoft store people selling a slate two doors down from a MacBook Air. Hard products reveal real sales ability.

  @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.

  @ashleyeleanor I went to the Apple Store with a different photo issue I had for weeks and the Gen Z Genius Bar kid solved my (very easy) issue in 2 seconds. Real let’s-get-you-to-bed-grandma moment. However maybe going to a store could help?

  15 days into owning an iPhone 17 Pro and facing extreme heating issues even on calls. Visited Apple Store BKC hoping for support, but was simply told this is “normal behavior.” That response is more frustrating than the issue itself. @AppleSupport @Apple

  @TimSweeneyEpic You have no ******* room to speak on this. You had fortnite on the Apple store and coerced your players into paying you directly so you can avoid giving Apple a cut. Then had a whole animation rendered and ready before hand when you got in trouble with Apple. Shut. The. ****. Up

  You can walk into any Apple Store in America, buy $50,000 in MacBooks and iPhones on 0% business credit cards, and resell every single item for 85 to 95% of retail on eBay, Swappa, and Facebook Marketplace the same day. Cash in your bank account by Friday This is how people convert 0% credit limits into liquid cash without Plastiq, without Melio, and without paying a 2.85% processing fee The Apple Store accepts credit cards for purchases up to $50,000. No questions. No ID beyond what's needed for Apple Pay. You walk in, buy 8 MacBook Pros at $2,499 each, and walk out with $19,992 on your Chase Ink Business Unlimited at 0% APR List them on eBay as "Brand New Sealed" at $2,199 each. They sell in 24 to 48 hours because sealed Apple products have the highest resale velocity of any consumer electronics on earth. People buy them because they're getting a $300 discount on a product that never goes on sale $2,199 x 8 = $17,592 in eBay revenue eBay + PayPal fees (13%): -$2,287 Your net cash received: $15,305 You spent $19,992 on a credit card. You got $15,305 in cash. You "lost" $4,687 "That's a terrible deal" No. You converted $19,992 in credit into $15,305 in LIQUID CASH at a cost of $4,687. That's a 23.5% conversion fee Plastiq charges 2.85% but has a $100K annual limit and many payees are restricted. Melio charges 2.85% but some payments take 5 to 7 days and large amounts trigger manual review The Apple resale method has: No annual limit (buy as much as they'll sell you) No payment restrictions (it's a retail purchase) No manual review (it's a credit card transaction at a store) Cash in your bank within 3 to 5 days (eBay payouts are fast) And you can improve the conversion rate dramatically: iPhones resell at 92 to 96% of retail (better than MacBooks). A $1,199 iPhone 16 Pro Max sells for $1,050 to $1,100 on Swappa within 48 hours. That's only a 5 to 8% loss after fees iPads resell at 88 to 93% of retail AirPods Max resell at 85 to 90% Apple Watches resell at 82 to 88% The optimal mix for maximum cash extraction: $30,000 in iPhone 16 Pro Max units (25 phones at $1,199): resell at $1,080 avg = $27,000 - 13% fees = $23,490 net. Loss: $6,510 (21.7%) $20,000 in iPad Pro units (10 iPads at $1,999): resell at $1,799 avg = $17,990 - 13% fees = $15,651 net. Loss: $4,349 (21.7%) Total credit card spend: $50,000 Total cash received: $39,141 Conversion rate: 78.3% Effective "fee": 21.7% "21.7% is way worse than Plastiq's 2.85%" Yes. If Plastiq works for your use case, use Plastiq. The Apple method is for when you need: More than $100K liquidated (Plastiq has limits) Cash in 3 days not 7 No paper trail linking credit cards to bank deposits through a payment processor (the cash appears as eBay/PayPal revenue, not as a Plastiq transfer) Amounts above $25K per transaction (Melio flags large single payments) The people doing this at scale aren't converting $50K. They're converting $200K to $500K across multiple Apple Stores, Best Buys, Costcos, and authorized resellers. At that volume they have eBay stores with Top Rated Seller status, which reduces fees to 10.5% and pushes the conversion rate to 82 to 85% There's also the Amazon Retail Arbitrage version: buy Apple products at retail, sell on Amazon as a third-party seller, Amazon pays out every 2 weeks. The conversion rate is similar but Amazon's customer base is willing to pay closer to retail for the Prime badge and the Amazon return policy A guy in our network converts $80K to $100K per month from credit cards to cash using this exact method across Apple, Costco, and Best Buy. His blended conversion rate after eBay fees and marketplace fees: 81%. He converts $100K in credit into $81K in cash every month $81K in cash from $100K in 0% credit. His "cost" of $19K per cycle is his equivalent of a processing fee. He treats it as a cost of capital. $19K to access $81K in free cash for 15 months = effective annualized cost of 18.6% "18.6% is expensive" Compared to what? An MCA (merchant cash advance) charges 40 to 150% effective APR A hard money loan charges 12 to 18% + 2 to 3 points A personal loan at 680 score charges 15 to 24% APR A credit card balance at standard APR: 24.99% 18.6% annualized for UNSECURED CASH with NO APPLICATION PROCESS, NO UNDERWRITING, and NO REPAYMENT SCHEDULE beyond minimums at 0% for 15 months is cheaper than almost every alternative source of liquid capital for someone without assets to collateralize And the credit card rewards on $100K in Apple Store purchases: roughly $2,000 to $3,000 in points. That drops the effective cost to 15.6 to 16.6% btw the IRS doesn't track retail purchases on credit cards. The purchase shows up as "APPLE STORE #R123" on your credit card statement. The eBay revenue shows up as income from your eBay seller account. If your LLC is the eBay seller, the purchase is a "business inventory expense" and the revenue is "product sales." The accounting is clean this is the emergency version of the liquidation play. when you need cash in 72 hours, can't wait for Plastiq, and need more than $25K. you walk into Apple, buy everything they'll sell you, walk out, list it on eBay, and have cash in your bank by Friday. the most liquid asset in America isn't gold or bitcoin. it's a sealed iPhone lmfaooo (we get 700+ score business owners $100K-$250K in 0% business funding. how you liquidate is your business. we build the capital stack. link in bio)

  Going to the Apple Store for this broke iPhone 17 pro camera. Idk if it’s a LiDAR issue but you can see the low fidelity of zooming all the way in…it’s not switching to the 4x lens but just digital zooming completely on the 1x lens. Sometimes the 1x lens will not focus when the 4x does.

  @yonann An Apple laptop will last 10 years plus, if something goes wrong you can walk to an Apple Store and 9/10 they will fix the issue not charge you and advise you on much longer they believe the laptop can last you. These are one fk the those items where paying more gets you more

  @Sassafrass_84 @PigWar With Android some versions, you can rollback if need be, with Apple, they own everything on it, apps, etc. If Iphone crashes, you csn't roll bsck to previous version, you either wait for a software update, fix, or Apple Store.

  @rose_stabler How did it end up? Most people who go to the Apple Store are there to make a purchase. Whereas the people there to take care of a problem concerning their device are handled by the technical staff.

  @heynavtoor As a former Apple store tech, those settings don’t cause overheating specifically. It’s a software/firmware issue. I will also note that Apple techs get very little info from apple corporate for known issues or fixes. They typically get their info from Mac rumors or 9to5 Mac.
