  @WallStreetApes I live in Towson, MD. Youth mobs and crime has increased. But there’s a deeper issue. The journalist fails to report, that employees at the Apple Store decided to unionize. The ONLY store in the nation. It failed.

  DREAM:wanted to have Sheldon cooper as my wallpaper and downloaded a virus and for some reason I had a rich guy that followed me around I said “hey can we go to the Apple Store” and he completely ignored me and we went to a prison to bail someone out instead so I had to fix my phone myself anyways my *** is going back to bed 😭

  @VRMurphy @WallStreetApes 🙄🙄🙄 My child, avid online shopper, ONLY buys her Apple products from an Apple store. Why? Because when you're about to plunk down $1500 for a phone, or 3k for a phone+laptop, you want to touch them first, get advice, have your phone settings & chip transferred over.

  The Apple Store giving out free slow neck head with a purchase of a iPhone 17

  I’m in Turkey and I’ve been buying from the Apple Store for years without any delivery issues. I placed an order on May 1st. UPS later claimed my address was incomplete. The problem is: my Apple account address is fully detailed, and previous Apple orders were successfully delivered to the exact same address. I called Apple Support and was told they would handle it. Shortly after, I received emails telling me to contact UPS myself. As a customer, my responsibility is to place the order and pay for it — which I already did. Why am I expected to manage Apple’s shipping operation? Today I called Apple Support again, and during the conversation the call was either disconnected or ended by the representative. This is not the “premium customer experience” Apple promotes. Right now, it feels like the customer is simply being left in the middle of the problem. @Apple @AppleSupport

  @DoubleleiT @lena__lorena I just shared this: Techie head here. I've set up over 50 iPhone + iPads. iPhones have great security. There are no security issues whatsoever if you use the clean Erase + Reset the iPhone before using. You can even bring it into the Apple Store and they can inspect it and do it for you. Also, I have never heard of any hardware spy trackers installed on an iPhone. In researching, none has come up. So you guys don't have to worry. Also, I've seen many fans have gifted artists with iPhone and iPads. There has been no news reports of security issues from the phone and tech gifts. If there were any issues, it would be reported by now. The fan seem very sweet and thoughtful. Grateful to her for being a generous fan for Lena and Miu.

  @AdamMusaAly @aloisdeniel Yes, that does not prevent slop at all, or even security issues, as seen with that guy who downloaded a fake version of a Bitcoin wallet from the Apple Store (or something like that).

  15 days into owning an iPhone 17 Pro and facing extreme heating issues even on calls. Visited Apple Store BKC hoping for support, but was simply told this is “normal behavior.” That response is more frustrating than the issue itself. @AppleSupport @Apple

  @Blackmagic_News I have a problem with the program. When I bought it from the Apple Store, there are no updates regularly. Can I get a refund and buy it from the website, or can you transfer my subscription to the website?

  I had this problem and it wasn’t water.I brought my phone to an Apple Store for repair and they said some of the charging connection points on my phone were burnt (they were visibly darkened). Since it was still under warranty they fixed it for free with a new entire logic board)

  @Airtel_Presence Issue finally resolved, but only after visiting 9 Airtel stores and the Apple Store multiple times. Some Airtel staff said no LAN, some said server issue, others blamed Apple. Apple said it was Airtel’s issue. Airtel finally accepted it was their issue and fixed @airtelindia

  every time a new popular thing drops and its always a BATTLE to buy it, is when i realize how good apple has streamlined the whole preorder pipeline. yeah sometimes the apple store takes 15 extra minutes before they take off the loading screen but ive never had issues checking out. thanks @tim_cook

  @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.

  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)

  I wish I was joking… After I went to get my card today, my phone froze and wouldn’t turn back on. I had to go into the Apple Store, where they told me the battery had broken, and the phone was internally damaged. Guess who just had to buy a phone they couldn’t afford! :,)

  @jannismetrix @obscuravpn Correct. and issues with wrongly used batteries. They are trying to solve that is not a problem now. You use your phone 2 years and then if you need it you can take device to Apple store (for example) for a battery replacement...

  iPhone pops up and says the battery capacity is under 70% and to click here to replace the battery for free. I click and make an appointment for 6:30pm. I drive an hour to the Apple Store and after sitting with the Apple “Genius” for 30 minutes while he enters my info, he informs me that they don’t have time to replace the battery before they close at 8pm, and that I can return tomorrow morning. I feel like I’m in Seinfeld episode. “You know how to take the reservation. Keeping the reservation is the problem”

  iPhone keeps freezing after restarting. Won't allow me to input passcode to start phone after turning it on. Wondering if I should go to Apple store. They want me to buy storage. I'm protesting. Hate when this happens. Battery at 100% now I need to let battery drain to shut down.
