  Maybe this wouldn’t be such a problem if your Tardis didn’t look like a damn Apple Store

  ok so I just saw the most unhinged tech setup and I need to talk about it someone stacked like 50+ Mac Minis on a shelf. yellow shelf. looks like a construction site met an Apple Store. and honestly?? this is lowkey genius and I'm mad nobody told me sooner because here's the ***** secret — the M-series Mac Mini might be the best value compute unit on the market right now. per watt, per dollar, per cubic inch of space. it destroys traditional server hardware in efficiency. it just doesn't LOOK like serious infrastructure so people dismiss it but some guy in a random office somewhere said you know what, I don't need a $400k rack from Dell. I need 60 of these bad boys, some ethernet, and a dream. and now he has a build/test pipeline that probably runs faster than your company's entire cloud setup no loud fans. no special power requirements. no "enterprise support contract" where someone charges you $800 to restart a service. just apples. wall to wall apples. the chair sitting lonely in the corner of the shot is sending me. someone WORKS there. they just sit next to the apple army every day and think nothing of it we are not the same #ai #macmini #macmini4

  @pnj777 @karanaggarwal86 @Apple I can purchase it online, it will get delivered to me sealed! I bought one from Apple Store, no such issue! Unicorn store, wants to make more money! The moment I was asked to buy a cover, as mandatory purchase I walked out!

  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.

  Just spent nearly 5 hours on the phone with Apple support today and yesterday. As a customer since 2001, this is the worst experience I’ve ever had with them.Ordered a loaded 16" MacBook Pro + Magic Mouse + AirPods Pro, twice on their website. Both orders were cancelled with zero explanation.First order: Apple Pay/Apple Card issues. Reps kept saying “it’s your bank” even though Barclays confirmed no payment request ever came through. Spent hours getting bounced between pre-sales, post-sales, and tech support. Order status links broken, phone number problems, account linking issues. Second order made the next day after double-checking everything and it was also cancelled overnight.When I called back today, I was told they “can’t tell me why” it was cancelled and to “just keep placing the order until it works.” Asked for a supervisor and a rude rep hung up on me while I was waiting.Their only suggestions: call pre-sales again or go to an Apple Store (not an option for me).This is unacceptable. Long-time loyal customers deserve better than this runaround with no answers. Apple used to be top tier. What happened? #Apple #AppleSupport #BadCustomerService

  I feel like buying directly from the Apple Store gives you a better chance of getting a top-quality device. All my iPhones have been carted straight from the Apple Store, and my iPhone 15 and 17 are still at 100% battery health. Even my iPhone 11, which I’ve been using since 2019, is only down to 86% battery health.

  Yesterday, when I visited the Apple Store, I noticed that some people were purchasing mobile phones and other items using cash instead of making online payments; it is quite possible that they use online services as well. I was surprised to see why they were going to the trouble of carrying such a large amount of cash with them.

  @_TheJasonC Let’s not forget the trust factor. I’ve seen plenty of stories about the poor customer service with Samsung. I’ve experienced it myself with issues with trade ins. They’ve tried to tell me I didn’t send in a device in the condition I said it was. The minute I mentioned having photos and videos of the condition and me packing it up, all of a sudden, they weren’t going to try to issue a charge back to me anymore. That happened a few times. Then, there’s the turn around for repairs. I’ve had a few things repaired by Apple and they’ve had them back to me within a few days. Shipped out on Monday and back to me by Wednesday. I’ve seen people have Samsung take weeks to months. Also, the ability to easily message with Apple support through iMessage. There’s trust that if you have an issue, you will be able to get ahold of someone and they’ll do their best to help you if they can. Yes, there can be the occasional poor support, but it’s far less often than the numbers I’ve seen with issues with Samsung. Google has their issues as well. My sister had an issue with her Pixel 6 Pro. They replaced it 4 times before she got so frustrated that she ended up just buying the 9 Pro XL. Neither Google nor Verizon seemed to understand the importance of keeping the customer happy. She was close to getting an iPhone and switching carriers. She’s been a Pixel user since the first Pixel. Apple is about not only the ecosystem but their post sales support and how they stand behind their products. Things like, if I switch from individual services to Apple One, they’ll refund the unused days prorated. Things like, when I had some dead pixels form on a MacBook Pro Display, I took it into the Apple Store, they ran some test and while they were doing those tests, they had things my son could do so he wasn’t bored and as a parent that is significant. He played some games on an iPad and watched something on the Apple TV. I’ve not once walked into an Apple Store and been ignored. But, I’ve tried to get help from Samsung reps inside a Best Buy and it was like I was asking a lot of them. It’s about training of their staff and how their employees treat the customers. I’ve never felt rushed either. I was picking up an iPhone, last year and did a trade in and they let me make sure everything was transferring over and made sure I didn’t need anything while my apps and settings transferred over and my carrier service moved over. The store closed and they let us finish up what we were doing while they did their closing duties. When we left, then had a bag with candy that each of us (my wife, son and I) got to take some. It was around some holiday. For me, it’s like being part of a family or big friend group. It comes down to how often have I been frustrated vs how often have I been very pleased with my experience and even had someone go above and beyond what I expected. Those experiences create loyalty.

  @eko32eko7 @DrClownPhD @9mmsmg That's exactly what happened to me, there was an issue with my Apple ID and no amount of support tickets or going into an Apple store got it fixed. I finally got so frustrated that I switched to Android. At first I didn't like it but now I can't imagine going back.

  This meme is supposed to be motivational… it’s actually bullshit. First of all it implies that 50% of people keep working at what they want to achieve. 1% is more like it. The other problem is that bro on the bottom gives up right before he succeeds. Thats optimistic too. Most people swing the axe one time and see it didn’t even break an inch off the wall and give up. People just do not want to do the volume that’s needed to succeed at anything. They think they want the result. They think they are willing to do the work. What they really want is the Instagram post. They want to appear to succeed. They want everything but doing what it takes. The reason I’m thinking about this today is that I just went through 236 revisions for the script of 1 video on a YouTube channel that hasn’t even launched yet. That’s after one channel took me 10 years to get to 100k subscribers. And despite all that boring tedious work swapping a single word for another… …I still don’t feel like it’s good enough and just had a thought on how I can make it better and am going to start over from zero. Most people give up when their first 30 second reel doesn’t make them Mr. Beast. Kobe Bryant used to take 800 to 1,000 made jumpshots a day in the offseason. Not taken. Made. He’d be in the gym at 4am doing the same boring movement thousands of times while the rest of the league slept. The 81 point games were built on ten thousand swings nobody saw. Steve Jobs scrapped the entire design of the first Apple Store when it was nearly finished, months of work, because he decided it was organized around products instead of around what people wanted to do. He started over. The redo became the most profitable retail on earth per square foot. Neither of them was a few inches from the diamonds getting lucky. They swung the axe an absurd number of times, hated a lot of the swings, and kept going anyway. So if you actually want to succeed at something, get ready to be bored. For a long time. Doing the same unglamorous reps long after it stopped being exciting and long before it started paying. Or, if you just want to look successful, take a photo of yourself, drop it into ChatGPT, and tell it to put you in front of a private jet. It’s gotten pretty good at that. Think Big

  @ramcharger22 My wife and were having security issues that might’ve involved her phone. Went to the Apple Store & they checked it out, no problem. Also told us that there is no real difference between a 13 - 17. If it’s working fine no need to change.

  PS a few days ago we actually went to Rimowa Copenhagen to fix the previous cracks (in quote tweet) They brushed us off and said they couldn't help us and we'd have to get it fixed in Lisbon where we bought it Which is funny cause if I break my MacBook Pro, I can literally bring it into any official Apple Store anywhere and they'll fix it Or if I lose my debit card, Revolut will send me a new one anywhere in the world and it'll arrive in a day or so! The point of service is especially when it's a suitcase, you're probably traveling when it breaks, and you want to either get it fixed or get a temporary replacement while yours get fixed, so you can keep traveling That's what I mean with premium luxury service that I'm happy to pay a lot for!

  No be you go teach me phone business or talking about 13 pro max because you be dealer too. Which one is I don’t import the ones with original screen ? If you like buy 13 pro max from Apple Store by yourself, it’ll still hit the green screen if it’ll do. This is the general issue about the iPhone 13 Pro Max globally. This has nothing to do with refurbished or original stock. You’re the one probably buying a refurbished phone. I import my stock from Canada and USA directly from legit suppliers. Like I’ve said before, it is not all 13 pro max that do comes with the screen issue, because even the ones I sold from last 2 years to last year. The earliest complain I received from someone is after 8 months of usage. 13 pro also has screen issues, but the ones I sold to customers from my stocks has never had any screen issue up to date, but does that mean 13 pro also does not have screen issue? I don’t like it when vendors comes to manage and spit trash. Go and post it on your own page that iPhone 13 Pro Max doesn’t have screen issue at all then sell it out all.

  A Virtual card saves you from 30-50% tax in each payment.. (Yearly upto 1k$ save!!!) Here is the full view :: I've tried to buy @claudeai's max 20x plan that is for 200$ In my Android app it shows 33.75k BDT= 275$~ Reason : Gpay is legal in my country,so the govt + google play store are taking this 30%~ together In my Iphone is shows 999 AED= 271$~ Reason : Apple store taking 30% tax as per their rules, Moreover Apple Pay is not legal into my country yet, so i use UAE apple id where tax is only 5% for this, If my country govt legal this, they will surely take more 15% like gpay! So it will add more 30$+ when it become legal... At Claude website from any device it shows 200$+ Tax Here tax means it depends on which Countries Visacard you are using to pay! As virtual cards are not registered into any countries bank & as the diposite in card can be done via crypto We are safe from the Tax & etc etc issue Means fixed 200$ i have to give & a single penny wont be waste into Google pay or Apple pay or govt. Tax~ So,, use any trusted company's virtual card & Purchase from website,, Congrates , You are saving 30-50% in every usage...
