  @AndyObtiva @AdamTornhill Yeah, we’re actually struggling to figure this out. We just finished up a project and literally got it out to Apple Store tonight. We’re gonna be tackling that literally next week. I’m currently advocating that we have a developer per project. Our projects are small enough. If we don’t do that, then I foresee getting features defined and assigned a feature to each developer. And then see what kind of merge conflicts we get. I want to error on the side of moving too fast. Because right now we’ve been erroring on the side of moving too slow. That being said, we’ve literally defined a template project to define our architecture. And we defined a core library that is app agnostic. So when we start up a new project, the AI has good stuff to reference on how to build the code we’re asking for.

  @gumroad Example: I launched a mobile app that was accepted to the apple store, only to discover a major error in workflow, so changes had to be made and process repeated. Life.

  @snoozlessnow @JohnHann04 You’re getting a red check mark if you don’t update- or one for not confirming age later. I had to update to see if it would fix my Smarters app (it didnt anyway). But either way youre getting a red mark if using the uk Apple Store

  @letsblinkit , order ID - ORD56136136625 I ordered an apple earphone and the seal of the product was broken. I spoke to the customer support and they advised me to check the authenticity by going to an apple store, isn't your app running because for customer convenience?

  @tekbog paying $100 every 2-3 years to replace a battery at an Apple store is not a serious issue. I would be much more concerned about how it would affect the water resistance of the phone if I were to change the battery myself and not have the glue or seals line up properly

  My MacBook Pro just stopped working from error messages to having these options and tried it all - see image. Also ran diagnostics, spoke to Apple Support last night and took the mac to apple store today - they were not able to help! They couldnt find the storage device - thats it. I’ve used @grok thus far + @AppleSupport phone & in-store support. Who can help and get me past this problem?

  They did finally add that Apple Store, which is cool. Shame about the Monroe Blocks being killed. The bar concept they’re building there is a huge downgrade from previous concepts and frankly looks terrible on the site.

  @Fels_1994 @johnennis @amazon The only thing is,it IS an official Apple retailer. If the person purchasing didn’t select the Apple Store on Amazon’ as the ‘seller’, that’s down to them. If they selected it, then there is an issue to resolve. Regardless, they ARE an official ‘seller’ as long as you select them

  Discord Support (@discord_support) reported 49 minutes ago

  Hello there. Unfortunately, if you’re seeing the “invalid subscription” error when attempting to redeem a promotional trial, this means that you currently have an active Nitro Basic, Classic or Server Boosting subscription through the Apple Store or Google Play. Because mobile subscriptions are managed through third parties and separate billing systems, you won’t be able to redeem a promotional trial while they are active. You will need to cancel and wait for your mobile subscription to end completely before you can activate your trial. If your subscription’s end date is after the redemption deadline for the promotion, you won’t be able to redeem the trial code or link, but can gift it to an eligible friend instead. I'm so sorry for any confusion or disappointment here. We are always adding new promotional offers, so please keep an eye out for those in the future.

  @Rusty_Foxxo The issue is that, it's not like having an Apple Store or gym near you, but which are nice to haves, but having a hospital is not a "nice to have," but a necessity. When your life is a stake, we shouldn't quantifying people's lives in terms of "being worthwhile"...

  You can walk into any Apple Store in America, buy $50,000 in MacBooks and iPhones on 0% business credit cards, and resell every single item for 85 to 95% of retail on eBay, Swappa, and Facebook Marketplace the same day. Cash in your bank account by Friday This is how people convert 0% credit limits into liquid cash without Plastiq, without Melio, and without paying a 2.85% processing fee The Apple Store accepts credit cards for purchases up to $50,000. No questions. No ID beyond what's needed for Apple Pay. You walk in, buy 8 MacBook Pros at $2,499 each, and walk out with $19,992 on your Chase Ink Business Unlimited at 0% APR List them on eBay as "Brand New Sealed" at $2,199 each. They sell in 24 to 48 hours because sealed Apple products have the highest resale velocity of any consumer electronics on earth. People buy them because they're getting a $300 discount on a product that never goes on sale $2,199 x 8 = $17,592 in eBay revenue eBay + PayPal fees (13%): -$2,287 Your net cash received: $15,305 You spent $19,992 on a credit card. You got $15,305 in cash. You "lost" $4,687 "That's a terrible deal" No. You converted $19,992 in credit into $15,305 in LIQUID CASH at a cost of $4,687. That's a 23.5% conversion fee Plastiq charges 2.85% but has a $100K annual limit and many payees are restricted. Melio charges 2.85% but some payments take 5 to 7 days and large amounts trigger manual review The Apple resale method has: No annual limit (buy as much as they'll sell you) No payment restrictions (it's a retail purchase) No manual review (it's a credit card transaction at a store) Cash in your bank within 3 to 5 days (eBay payouts are fast) And you can improve the conversion rate dramatically: iPhones resell at 92 to 96% of retail (better than MacBooks). A $1,199 iPhone 16 Pro Max sells for $1,050 to $1,100 on Swappa within 48 hours. That's only a 5 to 8% loss after fees iPads resell at 88 to 93% of retail AirPods Max resell at 85 to 90% Apple Watches resell at 82 to 88% The optimal mix for maximum cash extraction: $30,000 in iPhone 16 Pro Max units (25 phones at $1,199): resell at $1,080 avg = $27,000 - 13% fees = $23,490 net. Loss: $6,510 (21.7%) $20,000 in iPad Pro units (10 iPads at $1,999): resell at $1,799 avg = $17,990 - 13% fees = $15,651 net. Loss: $4,349 (21.7%) Total credit card spend: $50,000 Total cash received: $39,141 Conversion rate: 78.3% Effective "fee": 21.7% "21.7% is way worse than Plastiq's 2.85%" Yes. If Plastiq works for your use case, use Plastiq. The Apple method is for when you need: More than $100K liquidated (Plastiq has limits) Cash in 3 days not 7 No paper trail linking credit cards to bank deposits through a payment processor (the cash appears as eBay/PayPal revenue, not as a Plastiq transfer) Amounts above $25K per transaction (Melio flags large single payments) The people doing this at scale aren't converting $50K. They're converting $200K to $500K across multiple Apple Stores, Best Buys, Costcos, and authorized resellers. At that volume they have eBay stores with Top Rated Seller status, which reduces fees to 10.5% and pushes the conversion rate to 82 to 85% There's also the Amazon Retail Arbitrage version: buy Apple products at retail, sell on Amazon as a third-party seller, Amazon pays out every 2 weeks. The conversion rate is similar but Amazon's customer base is willing to pay closer to retail for the Prime badge and the Amazon return policy A guy in our network converts $80K to $100K per month from credit cards to cash using this exact method across Apple, Costco, and Best Buy. His blended conversion rate after eBay fees and marketplace fees: 81%. He converts $100K in credit into $81K in cash every month $81K in cash from $100K in 0% credit. His "cost" of $19K per cycle is his equivalent of a processing fee. He treats it as a cost of capital. $19K to access $81K in free cash for 15 months = effective annualized cost of 18.6% "18.6% is expensive" Compared to what? An MCA (merchant cash advance) charges 40 to 150% effective APR A hard money loan charges 12 to 18% + 2 to 3 points A personal loan at 680 score charges 15 to 24% APR A credit card balance at standard APR: 24.99% 18.6% annualized for UNSECURED CASH with NO APPLICATION PROCESS, NO UNDERWRITING, and NO REPAYMENT SCHEDULE beyond minimums at 0% for 15 months is cheaper than almost every alternative source of liquid capital for someone without assets to collateralize And the credit card rewards on $100K in Apple Store purchases: roughly $2,000 to $3,000 in points. That drops the effective cost to 15.6 to 16.6% btw the IRS doesn't track retail purchases on credit cards. The purchase shows up as "APPLE STORE #R123" on your credit card statement. The eBay revenue shows up as income from your eBay seller account. If your LLC is the eBay seller, the purchase is a "business inventory expense" and the revenue is "product sales." The accounting is clean this is the emergency version of the liquidation play. when you need cash in 72 hours, can't wait for Plastiq, and need more than $25K. you walk into Apple, buy everything they'll sell you, walk out, list it on eBay, and have cash in your bank by Friday. the most liquid asset in America isn't gold or bitcoin. it's a sealed iPhone lmfaooo (we get 700+ score business owners $100K-$250K in 0% business funding. how you liquidate is your business. we build the capital stack. link in bio)
