  Apple Store guy “This is a easy fix you can pick up your phone tomorrow Also Apple Store guy “I have never seen this, we will need to send up the phone for further diagnoses” It’s just the Face ID being dead😭

  @jonhoneyball @dhh Give me the Mac any day. Just had my M1 MPB Max back from the Apple Store repair (£125) and I couldn’t be happier. No interest in Windoze and its endless problems. 🙄 That’s safely confined to a VM.

  The uncomfortable truth: Apple operates 500+ retail stores worldwide. Each one generates more revenue per square foot than any other retailer on earth. And most customers use the store for one thing: buying a product and leaving. Free workshops that teach photography, video, music, and device mastery never attended. Genius Bar diagnostics that are free on any device never requested. Trade-in valuations that take 3 minutes and apply instantly never checked. Price matching against Best Buy and Target never asked for. A 14-day return window for risk-free testing never used strategically. Free data transfer and setup declined and regretted at home. Education and military discounts worth $100-229 never mentioned. Device recycling for every old gadget in your drawer never brought in. Every service is free. Every service is available. Every service exists to make the device you already bought more useful and the next purchase more affordable. The former employee's last line: "I worked at Apple for 5 years. I sold thousands of devices. But the most rewarding part of my job was the services not the sales. Setting up an 80-year-old's first iPhone and watching her FaceTime her grandkids. Teaching a teenager iPhone photography and watching his photos improve in 90 minutes. Running diagnostics on a 'dead' MacBook and fixing it with a software reset for free. Giving a genuinely kind customer a free battery replacement that should have cost $89 because she treated me like a person, not a register. The Apple Store isn't just a store. It's a service center. A classroom. A repair shop. A trade-in counter. A recycling facility. Most customers use 10% of it. The other 90% is free and waiting." 11 secrets. Same Apple Store. Same glass doors. The products are on the tables. The services are behind the Genius Bar, inside the workshop schedule, and on the website you've never scrolled. Walk in this weekend. Not to buy something. To learn something. Fix something. Trade in something. Ask about something. The store was always more than a store. Most customers just never asked.

  @ParkerOrtolani Once battery health goes down below 80%, you can take your iPad Pro into the Apple Store to get the battery replaced.

  [Please share this for visibility] So Apple locked me out of my Apple Store account (for Lumary) because they need even more documentation! I already gave them my Green Card, my TN ID, and everything they asked for. Terrible user experience, Apple.

  @woocassh Man Claude’s security is a pain. Security always comes at the cost of UX, but I think they pushed that one a bit too far. Codex seems to just ask less questions and get it done. I’m literally just about to go out to the Apple Store to buy a big fat juicy MacBook. But maybe I should just rent a server instead 😵‍💫

  I love going to the Apple Store when I need to fix something or purchase something bc I tend to learn something from these lil classes they host. I’m probably going to take my dad

  @agupta @1776pax Respectfully Ankit that is not true. Disparate impact means that in practice even a 100% fair colorblind process is *defacto* illegal if it results in a non representative sample of hires. This of course is selectively enforced (big problem), but this means companies have to create explicit goals of hiring people solely for their immutable traits to defend against the EEOC. This isn't just big corporate, when I was a kid and worked Apple retail they had special bonuses for line level managers. I specifically recall Apple Store managers discussing the need to find "Pacific Islander" employees (which was hard in my area of Atlanta at the time) for $15/hr associate roles to get bonuses and promotions. It has been this way my entire life and is clearly anti-merit.

  Let’s see: -zero real innovations -losing ground to Android -lying about caring about the environment -sucking up to the government to keep your H-1B hires -iOS getting more bloated and less efficient -iPadOS not living up to the promises -Apple Vision Pro -ditching SIM cards -turning MacOS into basically iOS with extra steps -shutting down an Apple Store in Maryland JUST because they wanted to unionize -Apple Vision Pro -abandoning the Mac Pro for the Mac Studio -abandoning the iMac Pro -APPLE VISION PRO I don’t think so, Tim. 👋

  @AppleSupport need massive help fixing an error from Apple Store…your people simply told me to contact legal? They were rude, and I will if this is the only way…but this just seems like bad business…

  BTW, a release of a myth banner is actually a great time to **** up a game's reach on the appstore by giving scathing 1 star reviews on Apple Store/Google Play. Logging in shows there's want for the game but bad reviews shows that there's game management issues. #NoValkoNoMoney

  @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.

  @Camsiyonna1 Went to Apple store in the Mall and one of their female representative asked for my ID and I'm facing problems on many fronts similar to the video.....! Personal information exploitation is a very lucrative asset in malls!

  @vibhu Let me ask you a question @vibhu I got to know you via Solana Spaces. Those beautiful, minimalistic physical stores that gave out Apple Store vibes and sadly ended up closing down. Looking back, what made you conclude those were a mistake?

  @tunguz Were you previously subscribed to pro subscription through Apple store? They apparently don’t support pro subscription through appstore now, they only support upgrades up to plus subscription in the appstore, so just need to continue your pro subscription through their official website instead. This happened to me as well, no issues after upgrading through web.

  @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.

  Dont take this as something bad or fud. This shows that we work, while it might take time, Apple has rules. When we fixed this issue and shipped it, our app Should be live on Apple Store.

  @farmersbnkgroup is going through an internet banking upgrade. These are tough and impactful. I’ve done two in my prior days as a bank CIO. This one is a challenge. 👉 social media refers to a guide to download to prepare. But provides no link, and their website search provide provides no guide. 👉 their new mobile app cannot be found on the Apple Store 👉 their website, banner noting people need to click on their new link in order to re-enroll, doesn’t change the user experience on the webpage and users are unaware that they have to scroll all the way down to the bottom in order to find the new app 👉 the customer support line is a hybrid of AI and people. This is extremely frustrating for folks who need to navigate through the new experience and are simply looking for help. A computer program that simply responds OK and doesn’t provide any information and awaits the next prompt, is a customer service failure. 👉 this morning, as my wife tried for 40 minutes to get into her Internet banking, and ultimately ended up, waiting on hold for somebody to answer her, we explained these problems to the person who eventually did speak to us, and they threatened to hang up the phone when we passed on these concerns. They treated us like a child that she was not aware that she needed to scroll to the bottom. “I’m sorry the instructions didn’t say scroll, but it’s there isn’t it and you found it.” Ouch. 👉 it is amazing how one moment to pour customer service can outdo all of the hard work and effort that people behind the scenes put in to making some of these technical transitions go smoothly.

  @DylanMcD8 I remember the first time I saw this phone. Wasn't convinced to get it until I saw a friend who had it face down on a table and asked him what that was. Within an hour I was at the Apple store getting ready to shelf my Palm Treo which I had just recently switched to from a BB.

  A little different from what I usually do👨🏾‍💻 After deploying the apps to both the Play Store and Apple Store, and while waiting for the frontend production team to catch up with me, I decided to spend some time on the other side of development. Currently testing the web application, going through reported bugs, validating fixes, reporting new issues, creating and assigning Jira tickets to engineers, and following up to make sure everything gets resolved properly. Not just building anymore… making sure what we build actually works. 🦅

  The closest Apple store to me is 45 minutes away at Sommerset. I guess my part of town is too poor for @Apple They just closed down the one at Partridge.
