  @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.

  @IrrelevantNerd @beautyskillz Digital movies are very different so no, it's not the same. This is long but it'll help people understand. There's two different versions of digital movies you can buy/get. There's the ones you get from Fandango At Home, Movies Anywhere, Microsoft Store, formerly the PlayStation Store, Apple Store, Google Play Store, etc. These are the ones you have a limited license to VIEW on those platforms only. When you read the EULA for those you'll see it tells you that you own nothing. You just have a license to view it on that platform. Meaning, if that platform goes away? You'll lose access and they have no real obligation to refund you or move platforms for you. That's what you agree to every time they do that. Movie licenses are subject to renewal, gaming licenses are one and done. Renewing the license every few years is what those third party companies do on your behalf. If they can't get it done they lose access which, in turn, means you lose access. The other version of digital movies? You DO own it. Fully. I'll explain it. These digital movies are movies you get directly from the studios that distributed it. Meaning, you bought the DVD or Blu-Ray and the digital code it came with, you used it. You got a code directly from their website store. Or, you got gifted a code or won a code from them or a third party that got the codes from them directly. With that? Once you redeem that code, that movie is yours to keep on one of those platforms I mentioned earlier. Forever. If a platform you bought a code and put your paid movie on goes out of business? They have an obligation to either find you another locker (they use this term for the other digital platforms they house the movies) to store the movie on, or they HAVE to let you download the movies to your personal storage. All of this is in their EULAs. I hope you read it all to get a better understating of the difference between movies and games EULA. A game is never going to get taken from you unless you do one of two things. You break TOS, or you call them and tell them you don't want the license any longer. Also in their EULA. Even if they no longer exist as a company you still own your games digitally. They'll leave you to download them or leave them attached to your username on your consoles. They will not shut down the usernames just because they don't exist as a company. They will keep the agreement in place. That's just how it works. Again, I know this is a long read, but it's very informative.

  @lilyraynyc There are really only two reasons why people leave reviews: either they received exceptional service (or an exceptional product) that completely blew their mind, or they are super unhappy. The proof of this is very simple: look at the reviews for any Apple Store. Apple is the number one brand in the world, and people absolutely praise their products. Yet, none of their physical stores go above 3.8 stars. On Yelp, some of them don't even cross three stars, and on other apps, the ratings are even lower. Do you think all of their customers are unhappy? Of course not. But if everyone left reviews, we would see a totally different picture. The reality is that people need to be incentivized to leave reviews, because otherwise, they simply won't write them. Think about it: • If you go to your local pizzeria and have a regular slice of pizza, are you going to pull out your phone and write a review? Probably not. • But if someone doesn't like their slice, they are going to write the nastiest review in the world. Meanwhile, the hundreds of other people who eat there every day and enjoy it will write nothing. As humans, we only pull out our phones to write a review when something ridiculous happens and we want the world to know—either because the service was mind-blowing, or because we are super upset. When our expectations are simply met—like going to a hotel, having a regular stay with no problems, and getting exactly the room we expected—we don't think to do it. That is why the whole review ecosystem is broken and unfair. It only captures the people who are super happy or super unhappy, leaving almost no representation for the silent majority in the middle. If you want regular customers to write reviews, you have to incentivize them to pull out their phones. We all have busy lives, and nobody has the time to search for your business and write a review for free.

  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:

  @ssgtwrightusmc @Verizon We have had AT&T for over 20 years. I used to visit stores when I needed help, now I use the chat feature on their website. Have never had an issue, good results and I print off a transcript of the conversation. We have all Apple products and upgrade through the Apple Store.

  @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.

  My wife went to @Apple store to get my exchanged iPhone. No box, nothing. She had to take it out of the box which “is used to send back the broken iPhone”. What a nice customer service. I’ll pass over the fact that the guy was totally mansplaining her and she had to pay MY bill because Apple can’t find a way to send me a paiement link for me to pay it. When did Apple got so bad at customer care ?

  // Just a heads up to my close moots, I have tech issues with my phone again so I will be away from answering on my phone at least for a while, since I will be using a loaner and sending in my phone to get fixed by my local apple store. I had issues with it earlier this year

  @DummyCapital I take the other side of each of these. Android supply chain is falling apart, eastern players are pulling out of some local markets, carrier sellthrough was poor because mix skewed heavily to Apple Store which team talked about in conjunction with Mac demand… so carrier issue

  🚨 BREAKING: A former Apple Store employee revealed what they say customers rarely hear at the Genius Bar. If your battery health is still above 80%, you may be pushed toward a new iPhone when a battery replacement could solve the problem. Before your next Genius Bar visit, here are 5 things Apple employees may not tell you—according to someone who worked behind the bar:

  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.

  @_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.

  @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.
