  @qumailakhtar @gharkekalesh There's a limit for how many days I don't know. If there's any issue by that time, customers can reach Reliance. If it's over the time limit customers should go to apple store.

  @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!

  this became very apparent when i was working at the Apple Store genius bar and i hate how all the companies take advantage of making it customers’ problem that they didn’t read while also doing everything in their power to make everybody bad at reading

  Yeah, 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.

  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.

  12. The "Location-Based Alerts & Apple Ads" The Situation: You assume that seeing targeted ads is just the unavoidable cost of using the internet, and that occasional alerts from your phone are harmless and normal. The System Reality: Apple positions itself as a privacy-first company, but they still have a massive advertising business. Your phone is actively tracking your location, crossing digital geofences, and analyzing your proximity to retail locations to serve you geographically relevant Apple Store ads and location-based suggestions. The Technical Drain: Geofencing is expensive for a battery. The phone has to constantly calculate its distance from invisible barriers to know when to trigger an alert. It’s using your battery power to figure out how to market products to you more effectively. The Fix: Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → System Services → Toggle off "Location-Based Alerts", "Location-Based Suggestions", and "Apple Merchant ID". The Result: You completely sever the connection between your GPS hardware and Apple's internal marketing algorithms. You stop burning battery to get advertised to.

  His iPhone battery health dropped to 78% after just 1 months of use. He took it to the Apple Store expecting a free battery replacement under warranty. The Genius Bar technician ran every diagnostic. The battery passed every test. The phone wasn't defective. Then she said something he wasn't expecting: "This battery isn't broken. It's been worn down. There are 8 default settings on your iPhone right now that are aging the battery faster than they should and they're all on by default. Apple ships every iPhone with them enabled. Most customers come in here thinking the battery is bad. It's not. The settings are." He asked the obvious question: "Why doesn't Apple turn them off by default?" She didn't answer. She just opened Settings and started walking him through them. Here's everything she showed him in the next 10 minutes. 🧵

  @BunheadHQ They just closed the BAB that looks like this in my mall and replaced it with a shoe store, moved the build a bear down the lot into an ugly apple store esque building. So ugly.

  ok so I just saw the most unhinged tech setup and I need to talk about it someone stacked like 50+ Mac Minis on a shelf. yellow shelf. looks like a construction site met an Apple Store. and honestly?? this is lowkey genius and I'm mad nobody told me sooner because here's the ***** secret — the M-series Mac Mini might be the best value compute unit on the market right now. per watt, per dollar, per cubic inch of space. it destroys traditional server hardware in efficiency. it just doesn't LOOK like serious infrastructure so people dismiss it but some guy in a random office somewhere said you know what, I don't need a $400k rack from Dell. I need 60 of these bad boys, some ethernet, and a dream. and now he has a build/test pipeline that probably runs faster than your company's entire cloud setup no loud fans. no special power requirements. no "enterprise support contract" where someone charges you $800 to restart a service. just apples. wall to wall apples. the chair sitting lonely in the corner of the shot is sending me. someone WORKS there. they just sit next to the apple army every day and think nothing of it we are not the same #ai #macmini #macmini4

  @UTDAhmard @Suzzy0310 I disagree, my 16 pro max last me for a whole day, also my second phone, 15 pro battery is excellent too, don’t buy gadget from computer village, enter the Apple Store in ikeja and get your gadgets you’ll have zero issue, 90% of phones in computer village are refurbished

  @Kate__KC @Sassafrass_84 @PigWar You are right about that. My son used to work at the Apple store fixing people's phones and iPads. He would talk about how easily they are broken, but then run out as soon as the new one hits the market and buy it. I hate to admit it, but I had my Blackberry until I was required to get my emails on my phone. I went out and got a Galaxy S4. Kept that for over 11 years.

  @techdroider @ImagineApplePR yes.. third party service providers are allowed to ask you for stuff like that use the Apple Support app to find an Apple Service Provider near you (or go to an Apple Store). they’ll fix it lol

  Her Apple Watch battery dropped to 78% after just one year. She wore it daily. She charged it overnight. She used it like every other Apple Watch owner she knew. Yet her battery had degraded faster in 12 months than her iPhone had in 3 years. She took it to the Genius Bar, expecting them to confirm it was defective. The technician ran every diagnostic. "Your watch isn't broken. It's just been running 24 hours a day doing things it doesn't need to do. There are 4 default settings on every Apple Watch that hammer the battery overnight. Apple knows. They've known since the first Series 1 launched. They don't change the defaults." She asked why. He gave the same answer Apple Store employees have learned to give silence. Then he opened the Watch app on her iPhone and walked her through everything. Here's what he showed her. 🧵

  The biggest problem with Unicorn is that they keep fake apple devices. All the apple devices you buy from them will have a super fast decline in battery health. I got the same device from Apple Store delhi and unicorn and the unicorn one I had to sell off within 6 months

  @AppleSupport It’s been more than a week since I visited Apple Store to get my iPhone 17 PM fixed. Which has issue with its charging port. I was told to drop the device at genius bar for the repair. Since then I am continuously taking update from the Apple team and crazy part is.. 1/2

  @Koutchboom There aren’t any actual Disney Stores left anymore. But there’s a concept there that could be expanded upon. The Apple Store isn’t a terrible idea actually, but it would have to be executed the right way to bring in numbers. It would have to be a local bastion of the Disney exp.

  Or change in the settings the lives stopped working. I’ve even taken my iphone13 to the Apple Store to see if the problem is there but it isn’t. And now the apps crashes every 2-3 mins and the time doesn’t build up and people don’t stay long enough where as in every stream before
