  guy at the Apple Store told me about how his neurodivergence leads to stomach problems that stopped him from continuing his PhD and he kept talking about the connection between chemistry and society. you know what yeah!!!

  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.

  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).

  @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.

  @farmersbnkgroup is going through an internet banking upgrade. These are tough and impactful. I’ve done two in my prior days as a bank CIO. This one is a challenge. 👉 social media refers to a guide to download to prepare. But provides no link, and their website search provide provides no guide. 👉 their new mobile app cannot be found on the Apple Store 👉 their website, banner noting people need to click on their new link in order to re-enroll, doesn’t change the user experience on the webpage and users are unaware that they have to scroll all the way down to the bottom in order to find the new app 👉 the customer support line is a hybrid of AI and people. This is extremely frustrating for folks who need to navigate through the new experience and are simply looking for help. A computer program that simply responds OK and doesn’t provide any information and awaits the next prompt, is a customer service failure. 👉 this morning, as my wife tried for 40 minutes to get into her Internet banking, and ultimately ended up, waiting on hold for somebody to answer her, we explained these problems to the person who eventually did speak to us, and they threatened to hang up the phone when we passed on these concerns. They treated us like a child that she was not aware that she needed to scroll to the bottom. “I’m sorry the instructions didn’t say scroll, but it’s there isn’t it and you found it.” Ouch. 👉 it is amazing how one moment to pour customer service can outdo all of the hard work and effort that people behind the scenes put in to making some of these technical transitions go smoothly.

  Apple Store guy “This is a easy fix you can pick up your phone tomorrow Also Apple Store guy “I have never seen this, we will need to send up the phone for further diagnoses” It’s just the Face ID being dead😭

  @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.

  Ann Adamson (@AnnDiegoUSA) reported 25 minutes ago

  @grok Already did but ... I have a bad feeling about this. If all I need to do is downgrade back to SuperGrok and then upgrade immediately to SuperGrok Plus that's fine, I just need someone to tell me that's the official fix, I don't feel like experimenting and messing up my account. I actually do not need the $30/mo SuperGrok because I have SuperGrok through my X Premium+ account charged through the Apple store... But if I flat out just *cancel* Heavy I'm afraid I will lose all my stuff!

  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.

  @ParkerOrtolani Once battery health goes down below 80%, you can take your iPad Pro into the Apple Store to get the battery replaced.

  Because Phone Broke and I couldn't AUTHENTICATE Myself on Google Laptop without @Apple @Walmart phone working, I was in N. Carolina driving north on i-95 alone, figuring out troubleshooting THAT my phone was broken and HOW it was BROKEN, but not BEFORE @Apple locked me out for perpetuity to not ever prove I was human until I entered an APPLE STORE for 3 hours of GREAT customer service in Bridgewater, New Jersey I could NOT call DOCTORS (chronic pain patient, stage 2b breast cancer survivor living with peripheral neuropathy, post-mastectomy pain syndrome, osteopenia, arthritic pain, IBS, to name a few...), I could NO ACCESS access PHARMACY (during mudbutt, as cancer survivor, finding Tick after walk w dogs next to Motel6 gross!), I could NO make a RESERVATION for a hotel down the road, I couldn't contact FAMILY for 48+ hours (until I literally drove up to their house troubleshooting New Jersey JUGHANDLES from suppressed memories?!?) I couldn't AUTHENTICATE Myself for small biz account for while I don't have a backup manager... I had no GPS, but I happen to be smart enough to travel half way across the country without picking up a map or a phone. ONE Lucky strike.

  @LucyTrims @veryfathomer @cookhamcockapoo Bath has to do something with the old M&S - you can't have the biggest shop in town standing empty. I was shocked by Quakers Friars in Bristol the other day - all shops closed down, the Apple Store, everything. This was supposed to be the high-end shopping experience in Bristol

  Here's what she told me at the end: Apple operates over 500 retail stores in 26 countries. They generate more revenue per square foot than any other retailer in the world. But the money isn't what makes them different. It's what happens inside them that most customers never experience. Free diagnostics that catch $99 problems before they become $2,000 replacements. Free workshops that teach photography, video, music, and coding every day, in every store. A trade-in program that turns old devices in any condition into instant credit. Education pricing that saves students and teachers hundreds of dollars. Personal Shopping Sessions that build your perfect setup with zero pressure. A Small Business Team that configures, deploys, and manages devices for companies. A Self Service Repair program that ships genuine parts and professional tools to your home. An app with AR shopping, video consultations, and express checkout. And a 14-day return policy that lets you live with a product risk-free. Most customers walk in, buy something, and walk out. They never book a workshop. They never schedule a diagnostic. They never check their trade-in value. They never ask for education pricing. They never meet the Business Team. They never know about Self Service Repair. They never try the return policy on a purchase they're unsure about. "Apple built the highest-revenue retail stores on earth not by selling harder, but by offering more. The selling happens because the services build trust. Most customers access 10% of what the store offers. The other 90% is sitting there free, available, and waiting for someone to walk up and ask." She said the 9 services above are available right now at your nearest Apple Store. Most of them require nothing more than walking in and asking. Some require a quick online booking. None of them cost anything beyond the products themselves. The store didn't change. What you know about it did. And that's the difference between someone who buys from Apple and someone who actually uses an Apple Store.

  @Sweetly_Shar @DemzDeliver Incorrect. When in poverty, you don't go to an Apple store and start stealing ****. You go for food. I've been homeless for 3 years in my life, homeless. I never stole, never needed to and neither does a single other person in this country. Every single one of them can very easily get help when and if needed. Doing otherwise is a CHOICE, a terrible one too. No, they steal and break into places to steal the most expensive **** they can so they can sell it online for drug money, clothes to make themselves look rich, or to buy things they don't NEED because they feel it's owed to them. There's a sickness with those cultures and it stems in self entitlement. Also affordability...in NYC? LMAO hahahahaha oh that has been in the gutter since that man took power, even before him it was bad, but it's worse now. Also you don't know the term Bum. I work for everything I get...as a ******* MUTE. I put in all the work myself and work hard, unlike thieves and ****** people who think everything should be given to them.

  @_GTAVI_ I don't. They had the opportunity of a lifetime to generate early 00's Apple Store hype for a midnight release of this game. Naa Code in a box and maybe a physical release down the road. I hope the story gets leaked TLOU2 style.

  @dhh In case you’re wondering how he set this up: Download Tailscale: creates the secure private network between both devices. Dowload Termius on playstore or apple store: the terminal app running on the Fold. SSH: connects Termius to his remote computer or VPS. Install Codex/Claude on the server: runs on the remote machine as the coding agent. The Fold is the interface; the real development environment and computing power remain on the remote machine.

  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 ?

  Is it possible we are at the beginning of the end of the smartphone era? If AI is as big as it appears to be, computer and memory will flow to its applications (from datacenter to edge). This will cause price inflation for smartphones, including and perhaps especially Apple ones because Apple's edge has been ever more advanced compute (and better cameras), alongside of course amazing software. So iPhones go up in price, margins go down, and people upgrade less. Apple's strategy of on-device AI exacerbates the problem because it adds cost, but not much functionality. On device Apple models sound like the elegant and profitable way to avoid the capex-AI investment cycle bedeviling Wall Street, but it instead pushes Apple headlong into a high price, low margin winter of expensive on device AI combined with an awkward partnership with its primary competitor, Google (who seems to be losing its AI mojo as we speak). And as an aside, I had the unusual experience at the Apple Store yesterday of being upsold aggressively on Apple News+ and some business service thing I didn't want. Apple service revenue is important, but it's very tied to Apple devices (especially Apple Care). Anyways, just a thought. Not bagging on Apple, but the thought occured to me that if the competition for scarce computer and memory doesn't let up, Apple's salad days of ever more powerful iPhones at a reasonable cost may be over.

  @Apple @AppStore @AppleSupport I don't think it's professional that waiting 3 days to get a response on Apple Store Connect support. 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.
