  We finally got something from Apple that brings us one step closer. We got declined, but we only need to fix the issue and apply again. We need to add Face ID or a password to the app. After that, we should be in the Apple Store. Be ready. Givest will be the future of RWA on-chain. It’s never been this easy to send a stock. Soon, you’ll be able to send stocks like it was an SMS (like, for real).

  Today wasn’t a good day. I was already dealing with a lot and on top of everything, it was August 15th a date that carries so much pain for so many of us. Later there was an issue with my phone and I had to leave it at the Apple Store for about four hours .So I found a quiet corner and started reading with no phone I ended up reading for hours, until I fell asleep. When I woke up, I genuinely felt like a completely different person. And that’s when it hit me. Something as simple as reading, learning, escaping into a book, and understanding the words in front of you is a privilege that millions of Afghan girls have been denied for five years. Now imagine being told you cannot learn. That you don’t have the right to read or write. You might think, who would be crazy enough to say that? But yes this is the reality for girls and women in Afghanistan in 2026. Five years later, they are still being denied one of the most basic human rights: the right to learn.

  What I learned from the book "Apple in China" is that communism means gunning down people in the brand new Apple Store who are being unruly and anti-social, so who can say if it is all that bad.

  You'll make WAY more money if you stop trusting something because it makes sense IN THEORY Getting plenty of comments sounds great IN THEORY, but 99% of them are almost always tirekickers and don't indicate potential buyers Selling at top of funnel after using spray and pray content sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize top of funnel content is outside a funnel so its guaranteed to attract mainly people who would never pay you Shipping new product updates publicly sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize other people with more experience can now clone your offer in 1 hour and market it better (you are also just procrastinating instead of making money) Giving up after 20 DM/Cold Emails sounds great IN THEORY, until you learn statistically you will make no money unless you send 650-1000 Doing lifestyle marketing with Ferrari's and Penthouses and Private Jets sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize that just makes you look like a moron Making your entire goal retiring your parents sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize not everyone has poor third world country parents Hiring early sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you have no idea how to write an SOP, and nobody will ever be as good as you at your job in the early stages Depending the Apple Store to make software sales sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you are now dependent on a system that can remove you whenever they want for whatever reason (and you still have zero idea how to drive traffic yourself, make sales yourself, or build a customer acquisition system yourself) Earning all your income from YouTube views sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize there's a 21 year old selling ebooks on Instagram borrowing traffic who's lapping you in profit every month (and unlike you if he loses a YouTube channel he doesn't lose all his income) Building a landing page using a framer template/lovable sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you maximized aesthetics and destroyed your conversion rate (because you have zero idea how to write actual copy and now your site looks like a clone of every other landing page) Spending $200k on a ******* dance theory degree sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you just blew $200k you could have spent 5% of that on a mentor and hit $30k/mo in just 1 year Posting "Insane Value" on the timeline sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you are sophisticating the market and years from now you're going to see all the sh#t you charged thousands of dollars for are now common sense and available everywhere for free Reading 100 Books every year sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize most of the OG books teach the same fundamentals, and you could easily have absorbed all their most important lessons using Notebooklm over night instead of spending 365 days reading platitude drivel and irrelevant personal stories they put in between the actual value inside the book Being afraid to pay for high quality help sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize the broke guy who saved up the $600-$5k and invested in a good mentor is now making $30k/mo, and you're still under $2k/mo despite starting at the same time Posting mainly platitude drivel every single day to drive impressions toward your middle of funnel sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize everyone now thinks you're ret#rded because you don't seem to have an original thought about anything whatsoever (stop trying to be Kieran Drew, Dan Koe, or Justin Welsh) Not following your mentor's instructions sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize the only reason you're doubting yourself is because you don't have his/her experience, and because they already went through that self doubt and figured it out anyway, you not listening to them is the only reason you are not making money We solve every single one of these problems and bottlenecks in DPU btw (no audience required) Godspeed, Ian

  Business as usual Many people wrote today about Telegram being removed from the App Store, which sparked a mild panic, and even the Gram token reacted by falling to $1.29 on some exchanges. But there's really no reason to panic. Here's why: - Telegram was already removed in 2018: Apple also removed the official client and Telegram X due to user content issues. - WhatsApp, Discord, and TikTok have all faced similar "bans" due to content issues at various times. Twitter was on the verge of being banned several times. When removed from the Apple Store, smartphones with the app already installed continued to function normally, and access to the app was not affected. As Apple representatives and the messenger itself later officially confirmed, the brief removal was caused by just one user who was distributing strictly prohibited content on the platform that violated App Store rules. Due to automated algorithms or a harsh initial complaint, apps used by a billion people are at risk of being blocked on the iOS platform. This is more positive for Telegram users, and here's why: -Prompt removal: Telegram moderators immediately identified the offender, blocked their account, and completely purged the destructive content. -Direct dialogue with Apple: The developers immediately reported to App Store censors, confirming the vulnerability had been fixed. -Irony instead of panic: The entire process took about an hour and a half. Immediately after returning to the store, Telegram's official account on social media X responded to the incident with the legendary Mark Twain quote: "Rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated," along with an apple emoji. The Gram token itself quickly returned to the point at which the incident occurred. This was an excellent opportunity to go long on Gram or buy a lot of promising memecoins, which provided good entry points. You have to look for the positive in everything.

  @ITalkOfChrist It absolutely looks like some redesigned fast food joint. I stand by what I said. If they went this way, we’d be known for building beautiful temples and boring modernist chapels somewhere between an Apple Store and the sleek new McDonald’s down the road.

  @BrendanNyhan Any reason you don't take it to an apple store. This seems to be a hardware issue. Doesn't seem like you're gonna be able to fix it on your own without it.

  @CovidSolidarit1 Sometimes we have to tune issues out. If you can stand the audio I sometimes listen to audiobooks on either YouTube, Spotify, and BBC Sounds. I'd imagine the Apple store has audiobooks too. I just like to get my head in another world for a while 🙏

  Almost doubled revenue in the past 28 days. Here's what I did ↓ The early weeks/months of your app are all about gathering data so set yourself up for that using Sentry for error tracking Posthog for session playback and tracking usage I had posthog hooked up to every step in my onboarding so i can see where people drop off This meant the step needed to be removed or improved. I could see what features in my app people kept gravitating towards so from a product standpoint I knew what I had to iterate/improve the experience of I hired a Fiverr pro to handle the setup of Apple Store Ads campaigns one optimized for conversion globally just so I can get eyes on my app More users = more data = more information for iteration Apps are science experiments Just because something doesn't succeed at first doesn't mean you failed. It just means you found another thing to iterate on.

  Apple is not doing well at all, what the actual hell? Bought three MacBook Airs a week ago for my team members and almost forgot about it. Why did we unbox them like a kid on Christmas day, only to discover that two of them straight up had NO power adapters in the box. Just the laptop sitting there looking pretty and completely useless. I called the supplier and he's telling me two must be EU/UK and they don't ship with chargers, only US ship with adapters. Werey even sent me bill for two chargers immediately. What is all the nonsense “in the name of compliance” or whatever eco-friendly PR stunt? Where exactly do you expect me to magically pull chargers from @AppleSupport ? Thin air? The nearest Apple Store at 2 a.m.? Or My neighbor’s junk drawer? This is such a **** move. Paying full price for three machines and you’re making me run around hunting for bricks like it’s 2010. Ship every ******* box with adapter or fix your packaging and least slap a warning on the box. Ridiculous.

  @theglobalZinny That #7,600 every 2 weeks no make sense at all — you're right to be confused. If it's meant to be 1 month, you shouldn't be paying twice. Let's sort it out quick: 1. Which premium is this? Is it Meta Verified, X Premium, TradingView, or Meta AI Premium? The #7,600 price sounds exactly like Meta Verified in Nigeria, and that one is supposed to last 30 days, not 14 days. 2. Why it might be disappearing after 2 weeks: • You might be on a 2-week trial that auto-converts • Your payment didn't fully renew, so it drops off and asks you to pay again • You have 2 active subscriptions running (one on Facebook, one on Instagram) — so it looks like you pay every 2 weeks • Network/bank declined the renewal, so it cancels early Can you check this for me so I can guide you properly: • Where do you see the expiry date? Is it in Settings > Meta Verified / Subscription? • Are you paying via Play Store, Apple Store, or directly with card? • Do you get a receipt email after each payment? What to do for now — don't pay again yet: 1. Go to your phone's subscriptions: • iPhone: Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions • Android: Play Store > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions See if it says 2 weeks or 1 month, and if you have duplicate subs. 2. If it's Meta Verified, go to Accounts Center > Meta Verified > Manage — it will show the real expiry. 3. If it truly expires after 14 days but charges for 30 days, that's a billing error. Don't keep paying. Cancel it and I can help you raise a support ticket to get the refund for the extra charge. Tell me which app it's for and where you subscribed from, I will walk you through fixing it so you only pay once a month.

  @nafoviking Glad you like it, I worked in an apple store until earlier this year and those things were SUCH SLOW SELLERS. Absolutely nothing wrong with them, except the charging port sensor was to sensitive to humidity. Just a perfectly OK iPhone.

  @Apple We purchased 3 new iPhone 17 pro max less than 3 months ago. One of them has a malfunctioning FaceTime camera that doesn’t work when making a FaceTime call. Multiple technical service calls and in the Apple Store attempts to diagnose and fix have not been able to resolve.

  @fwaevon I recently went through this. The smiling kid at the mall kiosk offered to fix my cracked screen for $60 but had to disclose it would void my warranty with Apple. So I went to the Apple store and paid their price. I guess I passed the loyalty test, at least this time.

  @devops_nk I had the same issue on my mbp m4. The official Apple Store diagnosed it as a motherboard failure. My warranty had expired, so it costed me 68k to repair. Since yours is still under warranty, I’d recommend taking it to Apple instead of trying temporary fixes.

  @C_inspecto @EricSpracklen @Apple I've had an iPhone 5, 6, and 7. I've also had a Galaxy S3, two S8's, and now have an S22. Hands down, Androids are far better if not only for the easy of use and the fact that they're not chained to the Play Store like iPhones are to the Apple Store.

  @Jake__Wujastyk @Apple I have a iPhone 13 Pro. The battery was down to 71%. I want to upgrade to a 17 Pro and AT&T has a promotion that will pay me the full value of the 17 Pro if I trade in my 13 Pro, but it has to have a battery >80%. I took it to the Apple Store today and got a new battery for $90. If I didn’t upgrade the battery, it would cost me a few hundred $ to do the upgrade. DO NOT SWITCH TO SAMSUNG. Nothing wrong with it, but if you’ve been using IOS for a long time you won’t be able to put up with Android. Too much of a difference.
