  My friend's iPhone 13 suddenly started malfunctioning At first, she thought the battery was simply draining too fast. But after a few days, it became clear that the problem was much more serious. The battery had started swelling, and the phone's body was beginning to bulge from the inside. The biggest surprise ? "The phone was completely out of warranty." No AppleCare. No extended coverage. Both of us assumed that replacing the battery would cost thousands of rupees. But what happened at the Apple Store in DLF Mall, Noida completely surprised us. The staff inspected the device and explained that a swollen battery is considered a safety hazard. A little later, they informed us that the battery would be replaced FREE of charge. We thought it might be some special discount or adjustment, but when the bill arrived, it showed "₹0.00" At a time when many companies shift the entire cost to customers once the warranty expires, receiving a free battery replacement for an out of warranty phone was genuinely unexpected. This experience taught us an important lesson If your phone's battery is swelling, the screen is lifting, or the body of the phone is starting to separate, don't ignore it. It's not just a device issue it can also be a serious safety risk. Sometimes, a company's true reputation isn't built through advertisements, but through the way it helps customers when they face unexpected problems. Have you ever received a service that exceeded your expectations ? Share your experience in the comments.

  I first visited the Apple Store in Jaipur when the problem was intermittent. The technicians couldn't reproduce the issue, so no defect was found at that time. Now that the issue has become frequent, I revisited the store and was informed that the display needs replacement. (5/8)

  Big props to me for successfully ordering a USB-C cable from the Apple Store website after 4 days of unsuccessfully attempting to do so. I kept sitting down to order the cable, got distracted and then at some point the following day remembered I didn't finish the order.

  @Escargot4U @0x_Mattt The GME e-commerce issue was with regulation. Remember Gary Gendler was in charge at the time and heavy issues with the Apple Store. He was smart to scrub it back then. I think you’ll like Ryan. This guy picks up the phone and calls customers personally all the time.

  @keepindeepspace 2024 & 2025 VIP as well and I'll be sending a similar message tomorrow. I've already begun the refund process through Google Play Store and they said they're collecting data on developer issues like this, so I encourage you to reach out to them (or Apple Store) as well.

  @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.

  1/ Parents, we don’t have to choose between protecting our kids and protecting our privacy. Unrestricted smartphones should be treated like alcohol: 21 and older only. Nothing changes for adults. 2/ Here’s the part no one talks about: I cannot protect my child from what’s on their classmate’s phone. One unrestricted device and the whole group has access to the full adult internet. That’s the real problem we need to solve.3/ Privacy is the line between a person and a possession. A slave was property because someone else claimed the right to watch, record, control, permit, and deny his life. A free person requires privacy.4/ Some people say “if a liquor store can check an ID, so can the Apple Store.” That sounds simple… but it’s not the same thing. A liquor store checks you once, in person, for one item. Turning every app, website, and device into a permanent ID checkpoint creates a surveillance system for adults. That’s not protection — that’s control.5/ We all agree kids shouldn’t have unrestricted access to pornography, gambling, addictive feeds, and strangers. The easy fix is right in front of us: Stop handing children unrestricted adult-grade devices by default.6/ Make youth-safe electronics the standard for anyone under 21 — unless a parent is directly supervising. If a company wants its phone, app, or operating system in a child’s life, it should prove it belongs there. Adults keep buying and using whatever they want. No digital ID. No face scans. No adult internet passport.7/ This protects kids at the device level before they ever reach the adult internet. It keeps adults completely free. Privacy for grown-ups. Safety for kids. We can have both.8/ Parents — does this make sense? Drop a 🔥 if you agree we should protect children without forcing every adult to surrender their privacy. What’s the one thing that worries you most about kids and phones right now?

  @LucianSkye I read the rice trick doesn’t work well because there will still be debris 😭 so it might make it worse…. The problem with the Apple Store is that it’s 5 years out of warranty- so I’m not sure how much they can actually do past telling me to buy a new computer :(

  @_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.

  My brand new iPhone 17 pro max; less than a year old is getting hot unnecessarily! What should I do? @Apple what’s going on with your product? Why’s your latest phone in your company acting weird and not working effectively? Why’s it getting hot when it’s a brand new phone? Why should it even have any cause to have any problem when I actually bought it outright from your Apple Store? Why? I should’ve just gone for the Google Pixel 10 pro max that I wanted to buy initially. This is bull ****! 💩

  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.

  CHINESE DEVS PACKED 1,000 MAC MINIS INTO A SINGLE DATA CENTER AND BUILT A $9,000,000-A-YEAR AI BUSINESS OUT OF APPLE'S CHEAPEST BOX. one thousand silver boxes. rack after rack, floor to ceiling, a wall of fans roaring to keep the whole room cool. Apple sold every one of them for $599 as a desktop for students and creators. these guys turned all thousand into a private cloud that rents compute Western companies charge a fortune for. the build cost around $600,000 once. electricity runs a few thousand a month. and roughly a hundred clients pay monthly retainers to run their models on hardware that never touches the public cloud. run the math and it stops looking like a hobby — boxes bought once, power measured in the low thousands, revenue clearing tens of millions before anyone in the West notices. OpenAI raised billions to build data centers. these guys raised nothing, bought a thousand boxes off the shelf, and quietly undercut the entire industry. the craziest part isn't the scale. it's that every piece of it was sitting in the Apple Store the whole time. tomorrow I'm breaking down how a farm this size is actually wired — the racks, the cooling, the software holding a thousand machines together. save this before running your own cloud stops sounding insane ↓

  Apple Is Testing AI Powered 'Live Notes' to Streamline Genius Bar Appointments. Apple is testing a new artificial intelligence feature called Live Notes, designed to make Genius Bar appointments more efficient for both customers and Apple Store employees. Instead of a Genius Bar employee manually writing down everything discussed during a repair appointment, Live Notes uses AI to listen to the conversation and generate a transcript in real time. The feature only works if both the customer and the employee give their consent, making it an opt-in system rather than something that's enabled automatically. Once the conversation is finished, the AI generated transcript is saved directly to the employee's iPad and becomes part of the repair record. This creates a detailed log of what was discussed, including the customer's description of the issue, troubleshooting steps, recommendations, and any repair decisions made during the appointment. The biggest advantage is that employees can spend more time interacting with customers instead of constantly typing or taking handwritten notes. Rather than dividing their attention between the customer and their iPad, they can focus on diagnosing the problem, answering questions, and explaining repair options while the AI handles the documentation in the background. For customers, this could also lead to more accurate repair records. Important details are less likely to be forgotten or recorded incorrectly, which can help if a customer returns for a follow-up visit or if another Apple technician needs to continue the repair later. Having a complete transcript ensures everyone has access to the same information. The feature also has the potential to improve efficiency across Apple's retail stores. By automating notetaking, Genius Bar appointments may move faster, employees could handle more customers throughout the day, and the quality of documentation could become more consistent across different locations. Although Apple is currently testing Live Notes in only some stores, it reflects the company's broader strategy of integrating AI into everyday services. Rather than using AI only for consumer-facing features, Apple is also exploring ways it can streamline internal workflows and improve the overall customer experience. If the trial proves successful, Live Notes could eventually become a standard feature at Genius Bars worldwide.

  @ProtonSupport Here’s what the proyon ai says. The operation couldn’t be completed. (Common networking.VpnApiService) Error error 0.) Once that was cleared then this popped up on trying to access the account “Invalid Refresh Token”. Proton support couldn’t get past that but did give me a web page to try to figure it out. I searched the forums and tried the sequential steps from the link given me until bed time. Next morning I removed the VPN file and reloaded a fresh file. I then got a message from Pay Pal ( I had made a purchase through the Apple store. ) So I immediately got connected to Pay Pal and showed them the files. She sent a file that showed I had been charged for a software I already had a paid contract for a year ago. I was told they would check out my info and get back to me. I got an auto email and the charge had gone through so it couldn’t be stopped. At that point I had no vpn on two lap-tops but still had proton mail on both. Awhile latter I received an email that Pay Pal would cover the refund that will take several days to show up. I have a Proton Plus that has Mail and VPN that Proton Ai immediately the blocked now 4 days ago they say because I filed a greviance. It won’t be addressed until July 5th. I have received NOTHING from proton? I suspect I’m not the only one that has run into this. Look through all your support tickets and fix them all not just mine that’s in the public.
