Campbell (@boomers_ass) reportedThe Apple Store is a joke. Went in last week to replace my iPhone battery. They had to order the part. Waited ~10 days, then got told: “Come in within 2 days or we might give the battery to someone else.” Made an appointment for today. Waited, then the rep says they can’t do the repair because “the system we use to track repairs is down.” Me: “You have the part. You have my phone. But you can’t install it because the computer is down?” Poor guy — not his fault. But the geniuses running the Apple Store aren’t quite as smart as they like to pretend. This is NOT the future.

Fandom Pulse (@fandompulse) reportedStar Trek writer Peter David on why he hated Star Trek: Discovery: "I have no idea what any of it looks like. Every single scene was apparently filmed in a power outage. The sets are dark, the costumes are dark, everything is so dámņëd dark. I mean, yes, people said that the new Enterprise in the Abrams film looked like an Apple store, but at least you could see it. I can’t see crap in ST:D. " Is this a common problem with modern tv shows?

Terence O’Neill (@TerenceONeill12) reported@WigglyAir can’t even go into the Apple Store without the Apple employee questioning why I’m still using Apple if I have so many problems with Apple and had to sue them in court and win because of their faulty designs…… I sent him back to his manager and told him never to speak to me aga

JD (@jdiii4) reported@MarieIsabellaB Almost got arrested in Verizon over the same issue. Needed a replacement and manager said I could not get one of the phones in the store. Another worker told me to go to the Apple Store. Never stepped foot in Verizon store since.

Caffe' Satoshi (@CaffeSatoshi) reportedI hate scammers who use "crypto" as an excuse, they give everyone and all legitimate businesses a bad name I have been following this scam "Crypto" company for a long time. They even had the audacity to open 4 shops in Malta promoting their scam to innocent people in person. They are called DistributeX and have also been organising cult-like "community events" to recruit victims They promise easy money for simple daily tasks (clicking green crypto icons on their app) + big returns on deposits starting from €140. Higher tiers require thousands of euros with massive claimed payouts. 180-day lock-in, referral bonuses, luxury rewards… the classic Scammer's pitch. I have since discovered they have: - NO clear registered company in Malta - No verifiable withdrawals (180-day rule + daily task requirement) - Physical “community centres” that feel like recruitment offices - Targeting mostly immigrant foreigners and using dodgy testimonials - App not on Apple Store but they are on Google Play! I have found warnings and court cases in other countries for this eg. Mauritius FSC alert I NEED YOUR HELP TO HELP DELETE THEIR APP ON GOOGLE PLAY This app should NOT be on Google Play. Apple already rejected or removed it, Google needs to do the same. Please report the DistributeX app on Google Play as a scam / fraudulent app. Spread awareness so more people don’t lose their money. Let’s shut this down before more people fall victims. I will keep you posted with updates and more info very soon. They have almost no official social media presence. Instead, only their “employees” and recruiters promote the scheme on personal profiles. I strongly suspect many of these recruiters are victims themselves, caught in the same trap and incentivised to bring in more people to keep the cycle going. When this inevitably collapses, they’ll likely be left holding the bag. @GooglePlay @Android

Metal (@MetalXMeta) reported@TinyMetaX @Apple Ohhh that is a ****** PROBLEM Find an Apple Store asap and bring it to their attention

NeilT (@Exogynous) reported@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.

Yada Yada Yada Farm (@bcglass2012) reported@deesnider Goto your local apple store and they ll fix it, a lot these responses are just people wanting to talk. Good luck.

Roberta Ross (@wildflowerross) reported@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.

Spacefaring Civilization (@Anonymo42055065) reported@Ro_Exotic @SmallEyez @markgurman I’ve only used the Apple care with the IUP once, and the Apple Store tried dicking me around by saying damage wasn’t covered. Demanded ~$400 to fix. I raised hell until they realized policy literally says $99 deductible.

Went to get it resolved & the employee literally referred me to the Apple Store to fix an issue THEY created. 🤯I went back on a diff day & told the manager. Said I was in cust serv for a very long time & I was mortified. He was too.

JD'oh (@JDoh2983) reportedI went straight from the curb to the Apple Store in Honolulu, because surely, I thought, Apple could help me. My phone was erased, and the attacker had switched on Activation Lock, the anti-theft feature that binds a device to its owner's Apple ID. The irony was total: the security designed to protect me from a thief was now the thief's tool for locking me out of my own phone. I could not unlock the device in my own hand. Neither could Apple. At the Genius Bar, with my original purchase receipt and a stack of government IDs on the counter, the technicians told me there was nothing they could do. Their best advice was to buy a new phone. Standing right there at the Genius Bar, I made my first call for help, to a friend who works in private security. That was the person who told me, in plain and practical terms, how to start locking everything down, and much of what my wife and I did over the next several days came from that first call. I left the store and went to my cousin's house. Neither of us had the first idea where to begin unwinding this, and we sat there together, two grown men, feeling helpless. It was no longer only about money, though the money went that night too. The person who held my account also held more than 100,000 family photographs, my notes, my data, every password saved in my Apple keychain, my entire iMessage history, and, worst of all, the ability to receive the text-message verification codes sent to my own number, the codes that guard everything else. In one app, the thief sold the investments I held there to raise cash, then reached my wife directly, sending her a payment request that looked to her like it came from me. She was careful and declined the first requests. A later one, appearing to be from me, drew thousands of dollars out of her before she understood that her own husband was not the one asking. Then they drained the rest. Overnight, from Los Angeles, my accounts bled out through a string of Walgreens drugstores, an Arco gas station, and a single charge of thousands of dollars at a Staples, the signature of a gift-card cash-out. Orders were delivered by a food-delivery app to a Los Angeles address I had never heard of. My PayPal was accessed. Two credit applications were filed in my name. When I tried to freeze one account in the middle of the night, I found its support line ran only on East Coast business hours. It was closed. The thief had the whole night, and used it. When the tally settled, several thousand dollars was gone, and only a small fraction has come back. I expected the theft to end when the money did. It did not. Three days later, on June 28, the intruder reached back into the account and erased my smartwatch, off my wrist, in real time. They were still there. And Apple, it turned out, could not simply give the account back. To prove that I was me, Apple's own recovery process required the very thing the thief controlled since they held the trusted number. Then the calls started, a wave of them from that same number ending in 67, a caller posing as an Apple supervisor and riding the spoofed line. After they take everything, they call you, and they sound exactly like the people you are most desperate to trust. And the fraud has not stopped. In the weeks since, the thief has kept opening cryptocurrency accounts in my name, one after another, using the identity he took to move money through channels that are hard to trace and harder to undo. The police, when I met them at my cousin's house, could do almost nothing but take a report. For guidance on the crime itself, I reached out to an old college classmate who is now an FBI agent. He confirmed that the number had been spoofed, walked me through what to document and whom to contact, and steadied me when I needed it.

Lexie (@lexie20A) reported@spiritchihiro MacBook Pro a few months ago. Told myself I’m walking out of the Apple Store tomorrow, with a working MacBook Pro (mine was broken and I had no money to get it fixed or buy a new one). Couldn’t be fixed. So my Mum just said there and then I’ll buy you a new one, and she did?

LibbyAnn C (@MarineLibby) reportedI had to get some more alerts before I could reply to you since I can only use the bottom half of my touchscreen. Problems I never thought of in the year 2005! I do have to give a shout out to the Apple Store. They helped me when I was totally locked out of my account even though I bought my phone from a third-party and walked in with a cracked screen I honestly thought they were gonna be the worst and turned me away and the guy spent like an hour and a half with me

Rafael Torres ᯅ (@mundoxrbrasil) reported@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. 🥹

GoymResistanceAlliance (@GoymResistance) reported@durov Pavel....Apple store and Google App keeps shadow banning many good channels on Telegram. Any chance to fix that?

Memories collection (@gunpeiyokoifan) reportedAlso "having to forcefully stop yourself from (over)sharing on a special interest" I'm so screwed, I once seen a coworker ask why his iPhone wasn't working and I really wanted to fix it, but that would seem creepy because I'm NOT at an Apple Store yet

Lau - CEO of Adam’s wing floof (@Lau_33847) reportedGuess who has to bring her tablet into an apple store because the damn thing won’t stop shutting down and restarting for no reason 🤪 There’s at least $200 down the drain on a new battery (which I think is the main cause of the problems) if they do find something wrong with it 🤑

I need more sunshine (@chicagoaudra) reportedAnyone 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.

Chuck Finley (@PLL_commish) reported@kingkrabbyp The @MeekPhill_ hate is warranted, the guy is a 32 year old virgin that is living at home and can’t go down 3 blocks to the Apple Store with out a phone
