  African AI has an economy problem. We don’t have an Apple Store in Nigeria. We don’t have that kind of purchase power. Until we create proper consumer purchasing power we will just be renting ambition from foreign capital. Data is where we are and we need to do that well to get to the next level.

  @BUNN I got a cup of coffee tonight at a Big Apple Store which had two BUNN Touch Screen Coffee Machines. One would think a company as big as @BUNN that is focused on coffee would know how to spell ColOmbian coffee (Not ColUmbian). Hopefully it is something you can fix remotely

  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.

  CHINESE DEVS PACKED 1,000 MAC MINIS INTO A SINGLE DATA CENTER AND BUILT A $9,000,000-A-YEAR AI BUSINESS OUT OF APPLE'S CHEAPEST BOX. one thousand silver boxes. rack after rack, floor to ceiling, a wall of fans roaring to keep the whole room cool. Apple sold every one of them for $599 as a desktop for students and creators. these guys turned all thousand into a private cloud that rents compute Western companies charge a fortune for. the build cost around $600,000 once. electricity runs a few thousand a month. and roughly a hundred clients pay monthly retainers to run their models on hardware that never touches the public cloud. run the math and it stops looking like a hobby — boxes bought once, power measured in the low thousands, revenue clearing tens of millions before anyone in the West notices. OpenAI raised billions to build data centers. these guys raised nothing, bought a thousand boxes off the shelf, and quietly undercut the entire industry. the craziest part isn't the scale. it's that every piece of it was sitting in the Apple Store the whole time. tomorrow I'm breaking down how a farm this size is actually wired — the racks, the cooling, the software holding a thousand machines together. save this before running your own cloud stops sounding insane ↓

  I need more sunshine (@chicagoaudra) reported 16 minutes ago

  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.

  I have to say, Apple's payment system has some serious issues.@AppleSupport When I tried to apply my $100 account balance to a checkout order on the Apple Store, the credit was applied correctly. I am trying to purchase four AirTags for same-day delivery, which requires me to pay an additional $15. The system gave me several payment options: Apple Card, Visa, or Apple Pay. I tried every single one of those options. Even though I correctly entered all of my personal information and billing address, I kept receiving the same error message: "Your payment authorization failed. Please verify your information and try again, or try other payment methods." Furthermore, I encountered several front-end bugs during the checkout process, such as misaligned icons. There was also an issue where the Apple Pay interface would open but remain completely blank. I would like the Apple team to look into these issues.

  @bowscan Nope. What is his name, if this isn’t a scam? He launched this project on Robinhood and tricked buyers into investing in a product, and then walked away from it less than 24 hours later. Not, hey this is a memecoin, but a real project. Either way I’m going to report ******** out of it. He used Apple Store to create this X account, so it will be easy to track him down.

  My brand new iPhone 17 pro max; less than a year old is getting hot unnecessarily! What should I do? @Apple what’s going on with your product? Why’s your latest phone in your company acting weird and not working effectively? Why’s it getting hot when it’s a brand new phone? Why should it even have any cause to have any problem when I actually bought it outright from your Apple Store? Why? I should’ve just gone for the Google Pixel 10 pro max that I wanted to buy initially. This is bull ****! 💩

  Big props to me for successfully ordering a USB-C cable from the Apple Store website after 4 days of unsuccessfully attempting to do so. I kept sitting down to order the cable, got distracted and then at some point the following day remembered I didn't finish the order.

  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).

  Most customer service conversations were never actually about the problem. A surprising number happen for one reason. People are lonely. We have all felt the edge of this. A stretch of days without real connection… And suddenly the cashier, the barista, the receptionist, the person on the help line… Feel strangely important. In 2020, a grocery run became the highlight of the week. A few words with a stranger landed like a feast. We were not shopping. We were starving for contact. Now carry that same hunger into ordinary life. The answer is on Google. The fix takes thirty seconds. The issue is small enough to solve alone. And still… We call. We wait on hold. We drive there in person. Because the problem was never really the problem. The contact was. I saw this clearly standing in an Apple store one afternoon. A man frustrated that his seven-year-old phone was not as loud as it used to be. Around him… A dozen more carrying problems just as small. Tiny inconveniences held up like emergencies. Each one quietly purchasing a few minutes near another human being. Those were not technology problems. They were connection problems. People reaching for human contact… Using the only doorway that felt socially acceptable. A broken phone gives us permission to be cared for. Loneliness does not. And this is what happens when a need goes unmet for too long. It starts disguising itself. Not manipulation. Not selfishness. Just an unmet human need… Looking for the nearest warm signal the only way it knows how. And it usually lands on whoever is paid to stay patient. Service workers absorb this all day. Hours of other people's quiet loneliness… Arriving disguised as complaints they cannot actually solve. Because the real ache was never on the work order. Which means much of what we call customer service… Is not actually a customer service problem. It is loneliness… Quietly rerouted through the one interaction people could justify having. So the real fix was never better support. Or shorter wait times. Or more efficient systems. It is connection… That does not have to be manufactured. Because when people feel genuinely seen in everyday life… A thousand invented problems quietly disappear. Along with the weight they place on everyone paid to carry them.

  @maye23musk32 @Elonmarsmusk12 My phone is not working well, I have made a list to follow-it is all Apple controlled things. Hopefully tomorrow. The Genius Bar at the Apple store was no help. I can’t transfer it to a new phone until I get it solved or I will simply have a new phone that only half works.

  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.

  @JonOrcera I’d recommend taking it to an Apple Store. Remote support usually isn’t very helpful with this kind of issue. This comes up fairly often on Reddit. Mine had wear on both the battery side and the Vision Pro connector, and Apple ended up replacing the cable. Now I’m just waiting for my next trip so I can use AppleCare for the front glass crack on my Vision Pro, even though it’s never been dropped. 🥹
