  The closest Apple store to me is 45 minutes away at Sommerset. I guess my part of town is too poor for @Apple They just closed down the one at Partridge.

  Almost doubled revenue in the past 28 days. Here's what I did ↓ The early weeks/months of your app are all about gathering data so set yourself up for that using Sentry for error tracking Posthog for session playback and tracking usage I had posthog hooked up to every step in my onboarding so i can see where people drop off This meant the step needed to be removed or improved. I could see what features in my app people kept gravitating towards so from a product standpoint I knew what I had to iterate/improve the experience of I hired a Fiverr pro to handle the setup of Apple Store Ads campaigns one optimized for conversion globally just so I can get eyes on my app More users = more data = more information for iteration Apps are science experiments Just because something doesn't succeed at first doesn't mean you failed. It just means you found another thing to iterate on.

  @fwaevon I recently went through this. The smiling kid at the mall kiosk offered to fix my cracked screen for $60 but had to disclose it would void my warranty with Apple. So I went to the Apple store and paid their price. I guess I passed the loyalty test, at least this time.

  [Please share this for visibility] So Apple locked me out of my Apple Store account (for Lumary) because they need even more documentation! I already gave them my Green Card, my TN ID, and everything they asked for. Terrible user experience, Apple.

  @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.

  @CovidSolidarit1 Sometimes we have to tune issues out. If you can stand the audio I sometimes listen to audiobooks on either YouTube, Spotify, and BBC Sounds. I'd imagine the Apple store has audiobooks too. I just like to get my head in another world for a while 🙏

  Apple support has gone down the gutter. AppleCare+ doesn't help either. Waste of money My airpod pro 3 has a hardware defect where the right pod inner hardware starts to shuffle on long runs They denied my warranty claim because their 'test' didn't detect anything in a stationary environment I had an appt at the Apple Store scheduled but it took 30 mins to chat with someone. Another 30 minutes to chat with a manager All for them to say they can't help and that their test was rigorous enough to simulate my 'long run' use case. Sure I could've sworn that their Support used to be much better! Maybe it's location dependent

  @Ro_Exotic @SmallEyez @markgurman I’ve only used the Apple care with the IUP once, and the Apple Store tried dicking me around by saying damage wasn’t covered. Demanded ~$400 to fix. I raised hell until they realized policy literally says $99 deductible.

  There were two reasons I did this: 1. MOST IMPORTANT was an audit of the screens without being distracted. I wanted to just sit and stare at each one then write down my thoughts on how to make them better. Then pass that back to Claude Code easily. 2. Easy access to Apple Store/web assets.

  @nafoviking Glad you like it, I worked in an apple store until earlier this year and those things were SUCH SLOW SELLERS. Absolutely nothing wrong with them, except the charging port sensor was to sensitive to humidity. Just a perfectly OK iPhone.

  6. Free data transfer and setup the service most buyers decline and then struggle alone. When you buy a new iPhone, iPad, or Mac at the Apple Store: the staff will transfer your data from your old device, set up the new one, and walk you through the key features. Free. Most customers say "no thanks, I'll set it up at home" then spend 3 hours figuring out data transfer, re-downloading apps, re-entering passwords, and troubleshooting iCloud sync issues. The Apple Store setup takes 20-30 minutes. They do it while you browse. They transfer contacts, photos, apps, and settings from your old device. They pair your Apple Watch. They configure Face ID. They verify iCloud backup. For seniors and less tech-savvy buyers: the in-store setup eliminates the most frustrating part of a new device. You walk in with an old phone. You walk out with a new phone fully set up, fully loaded, fully working. For Mac buyers: the staff transfers files, settings, and applications from your old Mac to the new one using Migration Assistant. Everything transfers. Even your desktop wallpaper.

  A woman worked as an Apple Store employee for 6 years first as a Specialist on the sales floor, then as a Genius at the Genius Bar, then as a Creative leading workshops. She's helped over 20,000 customers. She said the same pattern played out every single day: a customer would walk in, buy a product, and leave. Or they'd come in with a problem, get it fixed, and leave. That was the entire interaction. In and out. "The Apple Store has free workshops that teach you photography, video editing, music production, and coding taught by trained professionals on the equipment you already own. It has a Genius Bar that runs free diagnostics, replaces batteries same-day, and fixes screens in an hour. It has a trade-in program that gives you instant credit toward a new device for phones, tablets, laptops, and watches in any condition, even broken ones. It has education pricing that saves students hundreds of dollars. It has a small business team that most business owners have never heard of. It has personal shopping appointments where a specialist builds your entire setup with you. And it has a Self Service Repair program that ships you the exact same tools Apple's own technicians use. Most customers walk in, buy AirPods, and walk out. They're treating a technology learning center like a vending machine." She said Apple Stores are the highest-revenue retail spaces per square foot in the world not because they sell expensive products, but because most customers never discover the 9 services that would make them come back every month. Here are the 9 things she wishes every Apple customer knew:

  As great as the iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 betas have been, the watchOS 27 beta is atrocious. Siri doesn’t work for HoneKit controls and it’s super slow for checking weather and other things compared to iOS and iPadOS 27. I might have to take a trip to the Apple Store to revert my watch back.

  Dear @AppleSupport , I am writing to formally document my dissatisfaction with the handling of Apple Case 20000132934691 and to request that this feedback be escalated, particularly to the Project Manager and engineering team responsible for the Apple Watch software and backend systems involved in device status and pairing. My Apple Watch was previously lost, and I filed a lost-device claim through Apple’s third-party insurance provider, AIG. Approximately one or two months later, I recovered the watch. I immediately contacted AIG and had the lost claim canceled. Despite the claim being canceled, my Apple Watch still appears as lost within Apple’s backend/endpoints, and as a result, I am unable to pair the watch with my iPhone. I have done everything that could reasonably be expected of me as a customer. I contacted AIG, visited an Apple Store, and ultimately contacted Apple Support. I was then escalated to Senior Advisor Pablo, who informed me that this appears to be a bug on Apple’s side and that a bug ticket would be submitted to the appropriate engineering team. I was told I could potentially receive an update on 08-10, but I have not received one. What disappoints me most is not simply that a software bug exists. Bugs happen in software. What is unacceptable is how the consequences of this bug are being placed entirely on the customer. I have been told that I must wait for Apple’s engineering team to investigate and resolve the issue and that Apple cannot provide a refund or replacement in the meantime. In other words, an Apple software/backend defect has made my legitimately owned Apple Watch unusable, yet I am expected to simply wait indefinitely while Apple investigates its own system. That is extremely disappointing for a company that places such a strong emphasis on customer experience. From a software and quality-assurance perspective, this situation also raises serious concerns. The scenario in which a lost-device insurance claim is filed, the device is later recovered, and the claim is canceled is a completely legitimate lifecycle scenario. If canceling that claim does not correctly propagate through Apple’s systems and remove the lost status so that the device can be paired again, then an important edge/corner case was either not adequately covered during development and testing or is not being handled correctly in production. The customer should not become the final test case for a production system. Please specifically communicate this feedback to the Project Manager responsible for this area, as well as the software engineering and QA/testing teams. Because of this bug, I have been left with an Apple Watch that I own but cannot use, and instead of Apple immediately making the customer whole, I have been asked to wait for an engineering solution. At this point, even if Apple finds a technical solution, it will not change my experience or restore my confidence in the way this case has been handled. Whether this issue is resolved in three days or a thousand days is no longer the point. The damage to my trust has already been done. I expected Apple to stand behind its products when its own systems fail. Instead, I feel that I have been made to bear the consequences of a defect that I did not create and have no ability to fix. Please attach this message in full to Case 20000132934691 and ensure that my feedback is escalated to the appropriate management, engineering, and QA teams. Thank you to everyone involved in the software and testing process for providing me with an experience I genuinely never expected to have with Apple. Sincerely

  Apple is not doing well at all, what the actual hell? Bought three MacBook Airs a week ago for my team members and almost forgot about it. Why did we unbox them like a kid on Christmas day, only to discover that two of them straight up had NO power adapters in the box. Just the laptop sitting there looking pretty and completely useless. I called the supplier and he's telling me two must be EU/UK and they don't ship with chargers, only US ship with adapters. Werey even sent me bill for two chargers immediately. What is all the nonsense “in the name of compliance” or whatever eco-friendly PR stunt? Where exactly do you expect me to magically pull chargers from @AppleSupport ? Thin air? The nearest Apple Store at 2 a.m.? Or My neighbor’s junk drawer? This is such a **** move. Paying full price for three machines and you’re making me run around hunting for bricks like it’s 2010. Ship every ******* box with adapter or fix your packaging and least slap a warning on the box. Ridiculous.

  BTW, a release of a myth banner is actually a great time to **** up a game's reach on the appstore by giving scathing 1 star reviews on Apple Store/Google Play. Logging in shows there's want for the game but bad reviews shows that there's game management issues. #NoValkoNoMoney

  @realMAG1775 Kids each have a Neo. Yes, you pay the "Apple Tax" premium but the **** just works.... I don't need to play IT guy.... If they do have issues they go into the nearest Apple Store and it's promptly taken care of. With my Dell it's endless cycles with Indian support idiots who can't even spell DELL.

  @tibor_tee Although I have subscribed to grok bot, I have not been able to use it due to certain technical glitches. I subscribed to it through my iPhone Apple Store in India, as there were certain issues while subscribing through the website. Still no response from your team. Please look into it. I am so excited to use clawdbot but am not able to do it, writing from India.

  🚨 #BREAKING : The @telegram app has just been removed from the @Apple store. It had been removed because it had made "inappropriate content" available to users, founder Pavel Durov said. The removal came soon after Telegram launched an unfinished version of its "experimental" Telegram X app. Apple took down both the official messaging app and the one still being worked on.
