Nethead (@nethead) reportedDoes @Apple have a iPad Pro USB-C charge port issue iPad Pro lasted less than two years USB-C port wouldn't charge, Apple replaced with New iPad (not refurbished) Applecare 2nd iPad Pro 17 months old has same issue, headed to Apple store on Sunday @AppleSupport #CookEra

NeilT (@Exogynous) reported@jwblackwell Anyone with any sense has now switched off system updates on their mobile. This will cause significant issues with viruses. Also it could totally tank the new phone market as people realise they are buying crippled phones. Meanwhile direct sales of China phones without crippleware will be rife. Samsung, Google and Apple will be badly damaged. It might even see the advent of Harmony OS taking off where it has been restricted for so long. If having access to the Google or Apple store means the government controlling your life, a whole generation of users will abandon the status quo.

maximum (@maximumdegen) reportedYES! Mac Mini at $599 is killing AI subscriptions Developers are massively ditching Claude Code, ChatGPT Pro, and Cursor — switching to local models running on Mac Mini M4. One Reddit post ("spent $170 in 10 days on Claude Code") triggered a wave: someone replied "bought a Mac Mini — haven't paid Anthropic since", and that same week the mini-computers disappeared from Apple Store shelves. Why it works:The M4 chip with unified memory (120 GB/s) runs large models more efficiently than a $1,500 Windows PC with a dedicated GPU. Since January 2026, Ollama supports the Anthropic API format — Claude Code connects to a local server with a single environment variable. Cost per request: $0. The math is simple:A heavy developer spends ~$459/month on AI subscriptions = $5,500+ per year. The Mac Mini pays for itself in under 3 months, after that — $3 a month in electricity. Marcus Chen took it furthest — he built a rack of 30 Mac Minis as his personal AI farm. Those who own the infrastructure today will have years of advantage tomorrow.

Jami (@expertwith_AI) reportedThe 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.

Martins | Film Director (@Dir_Martinsz) reportedI 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.

mkb (@mkbraudaway) reported@FloreFlos Smart move. I had an issue w/cell service. Went to get it resolved & the employee literally referred me to the Apple Store to fix an issue THEY created. 🤯I went back on a diff day & told the manager. Said I was in cust serv for a very long time & I was mortified. He was too.

HereForTheGoss (@filmandtvdive) reported@royzanov That is 100p him lol. The same happened with the NYC Apple Store photo/vid and then someone slowed it down and it showed.

BOOM ODDS 🟢 (@BoomOddsCashOut) reported@Aziii_6890 @AppleSupport @Apple Same problem with mine. Can't access the Apple store and there's no way to update and download apps. Because and without the Apple account (ID) the iPhone is useless!
-
Christos (@cmallios89) reported@cmsj @aidler @ivanfioravanti Bcs of a person has bought iPhone and cannot afford to buy a new smartphone less than 4 or more 5 years after, this person should be protected. For example apple store is a rediculous issue. It was forcing small companies or even individuals to pay big tax to apple for no reason

Angelo (@Angelo98614610) reported@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

santosh Yadav (@santosh52681534) reported@Apple I forgot my password and visited the Apple Store in Mumbai to unlock my phone. I was informed that I should call customer care after 24 hours. Today, after waiting 24 hours, I contacted customer care and was told that the server would unlock my phone only after 6 days.

Dsk (@dsk_8587) reported@ZEE5India Hey incompetent fellows @ZEE5India Here is a bug for your team to fix I login with my number on your ios app. When I subscribe it takes me to Apple Store. Post that I don’t see the plan in zee5 And when I logout and login with Apple id, I find the subscription. Pathetic

Prime AI (@primemans) reportedA man noticed his phone storage kept showing “full” after 18 months — even though he barely had any photos. He deleted apps. Cleared messages. Removed downloads. Still, every couple of weeks, the same warning returned: “Storage Almost Full.” He was ready to upgrade and buy a new iPhone. At the Apple Store, an employee stopped him for a second: “Before you spend $1,000 on a new phone, check this first.” She opened Settings → General → iPhone Storage and immediately spotted the problem. “There are 7 things quietly eating your storage. Most iPhones have them enabled by default — and almost nobody knows about them.” Then she walked him through everything in less than 10 minutes. 🧵

walltzy (@walltzyy) reported@Apple with the amount of I phone users we currently have in Nigeria we demand to have an Apple Store it’s literally disgraceful we don’t have one fix this issue this year!!!!!!!!!

Carol ann Clark (@CarolannClhcjv) reported@CEOMUSK433 I got locked out of my brand new Apple phone and nobody can fix it so I have to go the Apple Store in Calgary on Monday.
-
Omnicris (@Omnicris) reportedYeah, it could, but it won't. People steal things that are locked down all the time. I mean, even the Apple Store display models get stolen all the time, and those have a special version of iOS that runs on them, so you can't do anything with them anyway; they're paperweights. My concern is the ability for Apple, or any tech company for that matter, to be able to remotely disable a device, whether you are a criminal or not.

DARK DECEPTION (@DarkDeceptionDD) reportedSuper Dark Deception CH2's release has been delayed on Switch, PS4, and PS5 due to patch approval issues. PS4 & PS5 are still expected to launch this weekend. Switch is dependent on Nintendo's response time. Here are the platforms where CH2 is currently available: Steam, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Google Play, Apple Store. Epic Games Store is under review and set to launch early next week.

Rybear1977 (@Tourettes97) reported@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

Paris (@SurveyWhorps) reportedMy iPod video stopped turning on years ago. I wonder if I can take it to the Apple Store and get them to fix it.

Drunk Dividends 🥂 Small Biz & Finance (@DrunkDividends) reported@unusual_whales If the Apple Store alone was broken into it's own company it would be bigger than SpaceX

Greg - Israelite in Exile (surviving the Galut) (@anexiledjew) reportedI bought a set of AirPods Pro from Laptops Direct about a year ago. I have a problem with the left AirPod charging, and I went to an Apple Store to have them look at it today. Astonishingly, the serial number is tied to a date of purchase from 2024 in a Walmart in the United States. Avoid this retailer.
