  The biggest challenge for all consumer apps is acquiring users at the lowest cost. Sweatcoin was having the same issue before it exploded with new users. It was able to acquire users with traditional paid ads, but its CPI would always remain high. Sweatcoin's growth stayed linear until it decided to try a new strategy. And that strategy was mass UGC marketing. Sweatcoin partnered with creators and created organic feeling content. High volume testing of viral hooks and formats. It took these winning viral pieces of content and turned them into Spark Ads. UGC powered paid media. Sweatcoin never had to burn ad spend by guessing on creatives when the creatives were already proven to convert and get engagement. Sweatcoin 10x'd it's ROAS using this viral content made by creators. Hiring tons of creators and ad spend sounds costly, but in reality, Sweatcoin was able to lower its CPI by 53%. In fact, on Apple Store Sweatcoin had the lowest CPI possible. 60 million users acquired. And it all started with one shift in thinking. Mass UGC + UGC powered paid media = 📈 🚀 user acquisition Stop guessing on creatives. Let the market tell you what works. Then put money behind what's already proven. Organic tests it. Paid scales it. Simple as that.

  I 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.

  like sure I'm a nutjob or whatever, but "sir for $75 you can be taking it into the apple store, and we can be pleased to address your issue" just die lol. I don't care. waste my time, waste my life sure, but really? $75 just for me to bring it to you? How about $75,000 and you can go die.

  this is my plan for this month: 1. first, i’ll focus on nomi and try to build and ship the app on the apple store. 2. after that, i’ll start working on sortai. i want to make it a useful tool for founders to solve marketing problems, especially around ugc content and app marketing. 3. the third project could be a big b2b technical saas project. what’s your plan for this month? feel free to drop it below. i’d love to hear what you’re building. let’s go 🔥

  Can’t just walk into the Apple Store and outright buy a new phone without having to make and appointment and sit down with someone. Utterly ridiculous.

  Hate going to places like the Apple Store to pay money to be told I’m doing everything wrong. Where I stand, where I sit, how I sign in to my phone. No thanks. This is why I didn’t want to come and have had a smashed phone for months.

  @BriankDfw @iAnonPatriot Is there an Apple Store in Collin County? If not they will find a county with one and riot there. It’s not about the location of the issue, it’s about a location worth taking stuff.

  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.

  @gharkekalesh If you are ready to buy iPhone for ₹1,00,000 then better buy from official Apple store or their official website. Customer service will definitely be hundred times better if any problem arises

  @JMakeley @ProhibitionUS You can't tell the difference between an Apple Store and a cartel? The PROBLEM is a poisoned supply, cut with fent and rat poison. People are dying not because of drugs but because of cross contamination. Notice how our booze supply isn't poisoned? Legal and regulated industries are not dressed-up cartels, friend. You don't want harm reduction, just control.

  Welcome to Apple. Where everything is carefully scripted. That said, lots of Apple employees have told me the same. Building for Apple's scale is much more difficult than being a startup and launching something on a weekend that isn't secure, is nerdy to use. Go to an Apple store and watch some of the classes people are taking. Many are still figuring out how to use their camera on their iPhone. Getting an agentic system into the OS will take a lot more thought than what OpenClaw or Hermes has put in yet, which are systems designed for early adopters/developers who know what they are doing. It makes Apple seem slow and not innovative. I saw the same inside Microsoft when I worked there. Hard to do innovative things when you have a billion users who are on a spectrum of grandmas to nerds. Then there is protection of their existing business models. I have a phone that has a completely agentic operating system on it, which takes away a lot of the business model of app stores and apps. Apple will take years to do such a thing, is my prediction. If you want such a thing (I do) then you gotta look elsewhere unfortunately. (It runs on Android since that OS lets developers do crazy things like that).

  @tim_cook Dear Apple Support Team, I am writing to express my extreme frustration regarding a persistent and severe heating issue with my device. Despite visiting the Apple Store approximately 7-8 times and undergoing multiple physical, software, and hardware checks, the problem remains unresolved. My case was reportedly transferred to the international team overseeing PAN India operations, yet I have received no effective response. Furthermore, the support messaging team has stopped replying to my messages. While an RMA was filed and I have submitted requested logs twice, every follow-up call results in a disconnection or a repetitive request for the same logs I have already provided. The heating issue I am experiencing is abnormal and paranormal in nature, persisting even after a full software reload and hardware inspection. This is not just a technical flaw; it is a significant health and safety hazard. Using a device that reaches these temperatures is dangerous, and I am deeply disappointed by the lack of customer centricity and urgency shown by Apple regarding this matter. I request that this case be treated as a top priority. I am seeking an immediate resolution, whether through a definitive repair or a full replacement of the device, as the current situation is unacceptable. I look forward to your immediate response and a concrete plan to resolve this issue. Case ID - 102905743860

  @Nibiru1000 I got a gas station down the street owned by Indians and I swiped my card in there one time and a few days later I had a bunch of random charges from an Apple Store, we don’t have an apple store in my area. They are lowlifes.

  So it turns out my phone charging problem is actually the charger itself, which is also my laptop charger, and then confounding factor that my car charger is also a bit dodgy in its own way bahaha so… I begrudgingly have to go to the Apple Store and buy a new one.

  I have at least one theory concerning that, and it all boils down to passing the buck. The companies insuring these lootboxes for Nvidia will likely insist upon installing some sort of odious security measures in the hardware. Much like the store model iPhones at the Apple store.

  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 about 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.

  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!
