    @BeSovereign_1 @0xEthan No. iOS is inherently a problem as it require someone to KYC themself to publish on Apple store. You could compile a version yourself and side load it in theory.

    DANIEL CHEN BURNED $14,000 A MONTH ON H100s UNTIL HE WALKED INTO AN APPLE STORE AND BOUGHT 1,000 MAC MINIS. his AI startup was getting magic output and a death certificate at the same time. the cloud bill was eating the runway faster than the product could earn revenue so daniel ran the math on running it locally. one $599 mac mini m4 pulls 10-20 watts, costs $3 a month in electricity, and runs 24/7 forever. one $599 box replaces a $200/month subscription he racked 1,000 of them into a single facility. the whole stack draws less power than one nvidia server while pushing the same throughput then in january 2026 ollama added the anthropic messages API. now claude code itself connects to your local mac mini with one environment variable. same interface, zero API costs apple stores ran out of mac minis the same month. $599 one time beats $200 a month forever and the market figured it out before the press did the window is open. follow and bookmark before it closes.

    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 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.

    @seckincreatives @aandreug @framer But why's that a problem, see the Apple Store for instance - it's the absolutely same system, there are millions of apps, most of them are buried and nobody cares for them, let the market decide what works and why. We're in 2026 and marketing and product go hand in hand, there's no way around that, the old way was outdated, so they changed it, my templates are buried as well, but that's no reason to cry just work harder and adapt to what's new.

    I bought a set of AirPods Pro from Laptops Direct based in Huddersfield, England, 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, I discovered at the Apple Store that the serial number is tied to a date of purchase from 2024 in a Walmart in the United States. Avoid this retailer.

    Anyone else having issues with newer @apple phones? I have an @apple iPhone 17pro that I’ve had problems with since I bought it through @ATT around Christmas. It has not worked consistently, with any of my Bluetooth devices, and is getting worse over time. Even my watch (series 11) is almost never connected and runs out of batteries really quickly now because it is constantly trying to connect and reconnect to the phone. Spent hours at the Apple Store a while back where they made me reset my phone and I couldn’t restore from the backup at all. I did that and the problem did not resolve. It mostly finds the devices but won’t connect or won’t stay connected or even paired. All of my devices work on my husband’s phone just fine (same phone). I have not been able to use any of my devices at all in over a week now, yet my phone somehow “passes” their diagnostics, despite not working at all in practical reality. It failed one test in the Apple Store but then passed when they redid it, so of course, they went with the pass. 🙄 Because of the “passing” the diagnostics, they refuse to replace the phone and won’t do anything about it. They just tell me it has to be a software issue and “the engineering team is working on it.” For months now. None of this happened with my iPhone 15pro and it doesn’t work with other phones either. How is this acceptable? They just took my money and I am SOL when it doesn’t work? No offer of a different device, a refund etc, no attempt to solve my issue. Just sucks to be me? Anyone have ideas of what I can try next? I have spent way too much time on this, but I would like a phone of my own that works. Also, if you are thinking of the Apple iPhone 17 pro, skip it. I feel like I’ve been ripped off and I don’t feel like they should be able to just take my money and leave me with this lemon of a product. Is there a lemon law for phones? Tired of this. I’m so sorry I got rid of my 15.

    Malko has officially been ReJECTeD by Apple Store for guideline 4.3 as spam. After going through all the five stages of grief, I did some research and realised contesting this decision will only bring flagging to my dev account. Only way forward is to change the concept of the app, perhaps turn it into something specifically for far in postpartum moms, a lot of whom have these issues. I’m currently parking this project until the vision becomes clearer to me. I will take the L. It’s a loss of a couple of months of work. I will continue working on Jodu and pick up one of my other ideas to work on for my next project.

    @ajrgd @UK_Daniel_Card Its just fun like, everywhere ive gone i scan without hesitation. If you go to the apple store for repair they make you scan a qr code to login and authenticate your account and devices to the genius bar with one click.

    @jwblackwell Anyone with any sense has now switched off system updates on their mobile. This will cause significant issues with viruses. Also it could totally tank the new phone market as people realise they are buying crippled phones. Meanwhile direct sales of China phones without crippleware will be rife. Samsung, Google and Apple will be badly damaged. It might even see the advent of Harmony OS taking off where it has been restricted for so long. If having access to the Google or Apple store means the government controlling your life, a whole generation of users will abandon the status quo.

    Yesterday, when I visited the Apple Store, I noticed that some people were purchasing mobile phones and other items using cash instead of making online payments; it is quite possible that they use online services as well. I was surprised to see why they were going to the trouble of carrying such a large amount of cash with them.

    At the Apple Store trying to replace my broken apple pencil under the Apple Care+ warranty. The warranty is active and covers accidental damage. I paid for the warranty at the same time i bought my ipad, pencil, and keyboard. I have the receipt and still a major hassle. /

    So, going back to the question l asked the technician at the Apple Store: "Are these default settings really protecting the user, or are they silently wearing down the device?" He didn't have an answer. But every iPhone he tested that day had the same 2 switches TURNED ON. Silently burning in the owner's pocket.

    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.

    Malko - my bedtime app blocker got rejected from apple store review. The turnaround time was quite fast! Last time I had to wait for 20 days for a rejection. Here are the reasons. 1. Incompatible with iPad - I have marked the app as iphone only. I'm not sure why they tested it on ipad. It may be easier to fix this than argue with them. 2. Paywall content - it does not clearly describe what the user will receive for the price. Seems an issue with messaging. Will rework and resubmit. Approval coming in any day now!

    Did he said free money? Under fractional banking, $20 million means the bank can lending $2 billion to people previously had been redlining. I hope they hire good underwriters, to prevent unsound deals. I sure there are biz are sound and needs money but their biz is too small or according to data, they live in redlining areas. Hope these loans are going towards good biz and good people. I heard app developers said Apple Store pays them after 45 days, so despite they made a lot of money, but as fast they grow the bigger negative cash flow they had encountered. To small biz owners, negative cash flow due to growth happened to every one of us, so this should be a good problem to solve for them, as they should be able to collateralize their account receivables, if the payers are top rating biz like Apple or Amazon.

    A man noticed his iPhone kept showing “Storage Almost Full,” even though he barely had any photos. He deleted apps. Cleared messages. Removed downloads. But the warning kept coming back every couple of weeks. At one point, he was ready to walk into the Apple Store and buy a new iPhone. A Genius Bar employee stopped him and said: “Before you spend a thousand dollars, let me show you something.” She opened: Settings → General → iPhone Storage Then she shook her head and said: “There are 7 hidden things quietly eating your storage. They come turned on by default, and most people never notice them.” In the next few minutes, she showed him things like cached data, system files, old message attachments, background app storage, and other hidden space users don’t usually check. Within 8 minutes, everything became clear: The phone wasn’t the problem. The hidden storage usage was. And just like that… he didn’t need a new iPhone anymore.

    @Apple I forgot my password and visited the Apple Store in Mumbai to unlock my phone. I was informed that I should call customer care after 24 hours. Today, after waiting 24 hours, I contacted customer care and was told that the server would unlock my phone only after 6 days.
