  @P_Kallioniemi @NersFalco @Kolas_Yotaka Good luck doing this with iPhones. The issues is - many of ruZZian bots have Apple Store in their profile.

  @MichaelJBrewis I think one of the biggest issues is how hard it is to demo. Can’t let others try it out. The Apple Store demo is also horrendous. Way too high friction for such a novel device.

  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

  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)

  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

  Apple Store didn't gave me the reports Even after multiple requests I've raised. Not sure if this is problem with the brand or the country or their employees If the law is firm, reachable, strict and scary to all the cheap bastards, then it'll be a hell for CSR folks

  @allegrajacchia @monetization_x Allegra, key issue!!!: this is why we are trapped paying $50 for premium plus through Apple Store. They will not let you go unless it lapses. 𝕏 needs a workaround because many of us sign up on the app and get locked in at $50. I can only move to the $40 if I let my premium lapse and as result my monetization. At that point 𝕏 loses its stickiness.

  Anybody else having trouble with their Apple phones?. mine stopped recognizing me, and the only way to repair it is to drive two hours to the city to an Apple Store ! I guess it’s time to order a new phone! I’m not spending $1.82 a liter to drive two hours

  His iPhone battery health dropped to 78% after just 1 months of use. He took it to the Apple Store expecting a free battery replacement under warranty. The Genius Bar technician ran every diagnostic. The battery passed every test. The phone wasn't defective. Then she said something he wasn't expecting: "This battery isn't broken. It's been worn down. There are 8 default settings on your iPhone right now that are aging the battery faster than they should and they're all on by default. Apple ships every iPhone with them enabled. Most customers come in here thinking the battery is bad. It's not. The settings are." He asked the obvious question: "Why doesn't Apple turn them off by default?" She didn't answer. She just opened Settings and started walking him through them. Here's everything she showed him in the next 10 minutes. 🧵

  Nordics in South Park Mall Charlotte NC, or seven foot tall Swedish Star Wars cosplayers? I did my best to use AI to help me recall what they looked like. My family and I were walking to the Apple Store. I have no memory of reaching the Apple Store. My last memory was “They look like those tall Nordic beings I’ve seen before. She is so hot! Oh wait, they are telepathic and the men are very jealous.” That night I had a dream of them and they invited me to board a saucer shaped craft on the edge of a cliff. But I declined and they were surprised. The next day at work I came down with a rash on my hands and feet . By Wednesday that week I had to take off work and my doctor put me on three types of antihistamines to get the swelling to come down.

  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.

  Crazy, I was searching the Apple Store for an app like the one I'm building with 0 results, and just today - 2 popped up. 1 with the exact name I was going with... Atleast I got the .app domain name It's going to come down to distribution once I release

  @heyjames01 No, not yet. Your 2023 iPhone (likely 15 series) is only ~2.5 years old with a normal 77% capacity after 1225 cycles. Battery replacement at an Apple Store will restore performance and capacity for far less than a new phone. Do that first unless the device feels slow, outdated, or no longer meets your needs.

  @beverleyturner Yes. A colleague has same problem. When I went into Apple store. Advised to buy new phone with more storage. The new phone’s are want government expects you to purchase for the control features. Facial recognition even for banking. I’m not interested in paying out over £1000!

  I have at least one theory concerning that, and it all boils down to passing the buck. The companies insuring these lootboxes for Nvidia will likely insist upon installing some sort of odious security measures in the hardware. Much like the store model iPhones at the Apple store.
