Rybear1977 (@Tourettes97) reported@TimSweeneyEpic You have no ******* room to speak on this. You had fortnite on the Apple store and coerced your players into paying you directly so you can avoid giving Apple a cut. Then had a whole animation rendered and ready before hand when you got in trouble with Apple. Shut. The. ****. Up

Pooja (@poojaofficial5) reportedMy friend's iPhone 13 suddenly started malfunctioning At first, she thought the battery was simply draining too fast. But after a few days, it became clear that the problem was much more serious. The battery had started swelling, and the phone's body was beginning to bulge from the inside. The biggest surprise ? "The phone was completely out of warranty." No AppleCare. No extended coverage. Both of us assumed that replacing the battery would cost thousands of rupees. But what happened at the Apple Store in DLF Mall, Noida completely surprised us. The staff inspected the device and explained that a swollen battery is considered a safety hazard. A little later, they informed us that the battery would be replaced FREE of charge. We thought it might be some special discount or adjustment, but when the bill arrived, it showed "₹0.00" At a time when many companies shift the entire cost to customers once the warranty expires, receiving a free battery replacement for an out of warranty phone was genuinely unexpected. This experience taught us an important lesson If your phone's battery is swelling, the screen is lifting, or the body of the phone is starting to separate, don't ignore it. It's not just a device issue it can also be a serious safety risk. Sometimes, a company's true reputation isn't built through advertisements, but through the way it helps customers when they face unexpected problems. Have you ever received a service that exceeded your expectations ? Share your experience in the comments.

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.

Jon Sherrard (@jshez) reportedContrast the quote my experience: An Employer once had a supply issue with equipment supplier. Opened a new bank account that allowed Apple Pay digital cards over email. Created me a card. Sent it over. Transferred cash onto it, apologised profusely and asked if could go to Apple Store (during work hours so fine with me) Nice to know when you’re working with serious people.

Chidanand Tripathi (@thetripathi58) reportedThe Ultimate Takeaway: Taking Back Your Phone She walked out of the Apple Store at 2:45 PM. Her wallet was exactly as full as when she walked in. Her battery was at 82%. And for the first time in six months, she didn't feel a knot in her stomach about finding a wall plug. The Situation: We almost always blame the physical battery. We think our phones are just getting old, or broken, or that we simply use them too much. We accept living in a constant state of low-battery anxiety, carrying heavy power banks and tangled white cables everywhere we go like we are carrying life support. The System Reality: When you take a brand new smartphone out of the box, it is not actually set up to serve you. It is set up by default to serve app developers, advertisers, and the parent company. It is set up to constantly pull data, refresh feeds, track your location, and report back to base. The Technical Drain: Think about it: you are spending over a thousand dollars on a device, but out of the box, that device is working a full-time, 24/7 shadow job behind your back. It is burning through its own life span and your battery percentage to do things you never even asked it to do. The Fix: Take 12 minutes today to walk through these settings. Turn off the background noise. Shut down the silent trackers. Put up boundaries. Tell your apps they are only allowed to work when you physically tap on them and ask them to work. The Result: Two weeks later, the woman went to bed at 11:00 PM. She placed her phone on her nightstand to charge for the night. The screen lit up: 34%. This is not just about saving your battery life. It is about taking back ownership of your device. It is about getting a clear peace of mind and making sure you own your phone, instead of letting your phone own you.

Robert Scoble (@Scobleizer) reportedWelcome to Apple. Where everything is carefully scripted. That said, lots of Apple employees have told me the same. Building for Apple's scale is much more difficult than being a startup and launching something on a weekend that isn't secure, is nerdy to use. Go to an Apple store and watch some of the classes people are taking. Many are still figuring out how to use their camera on their iPhone. Getting an agentic system into the OS will take a lot more thought than what OpenClaw or Hermes has put in yet, which are systems designed for early adopters/developers who know what they are doing. It makes Apple seem slow and not innovative. I saw the same inside Microsoft when I worked there. Hard to do innovative things when you have a billion users who are on a spectrum of grandmas to nerds. Then there is protection of their existing business models. I have a phone that has a completely agentic operating system on it, which takes away a lot of the business model of app stores and apps. Apple will take years to do such a thing, is my prediction. If you want such a thing (I do) then you gotta look elsewhere unfortunately. (It runs on Android since that OS lets developers do crazy things like that).

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.

Cameron (@e_goeth) reportedMy friend did this with his laptop and when he brought it to the Apple Store he had to give them the password and they refused to fix it

Greg - Israelite in Exile (surviving the Galut) (@anexiledjew) reportedI bought a set of AirPods Pro from Laptops Direct about a year ago. I have a problem with the left AirPod charging, and I went to an Apple Store to have them look at it today. Astonishingly, the serial number is tied to a date of purchase from 2024 in a Walmart in the United States. Avoid this retailer.

Omnicris (@Omnicris) reportedYeah, it could, but it won't. People steal things that are locked down all the time. I mean, even the Apple Store display models get stolen all the time, and those have a special version of iOS that runs on them, so you can't do anything with them anyway; they're paperweights. My concern is the ability for Apple, or any tech company for that matter, to be able to remotely disable a device, whether you are a criminal or not.

Sammy Bags (@SammyBagsmfnobs) reported@109Cuntrees @TifahCrump777 Anybody that’s says there Gods favorite is ******* insane, I know I’m not gods favorite! I just spent 3 hours in an Apple Store just to be given back a broken phone by fat ***** #selfaware

PK 🐢 👩🏻💻 (@PKodmad) reportedMalko has officially been ReJECTeD by Apple Store for guideline 4.3 as spam. After going through all the five stages of grief, I did some research and realised contesting this decision will only bring flagging to my dev account. Only way forward is to change the concept of the app, perhaps turn it into something specifically for far in postpartum moms, a lot of whom have these issues. I’m currently parking this project until the vision becomes clearer to me. I will take the L. It’s a loss of a couple of months of work. I will continue working on Jodu and pick up one of my other ideas to work on for my next project.

PK 🐢 👩🏻💻 (@PKodmad) reportedMalko - my bedtime app blocker got rejected from apple store review. The turnaround time was quite fast! Last time I had to wait for 20 days for a rejection. Here are the reasons. 1. Incompatible with iPad - I have marked the app as iphone only. I'm not sure why they tested it on ipad. It may be easier to fix this than argue with them. 2. Paywall content - it does not clearly describe what the user will receive for the price. Seems an issue with messaging. Will rework and resubmit. Approval coming in any day now!

jammington bear (@_Jamesy_T_) reportedMaybe this wouldn’t be such a problem if your Tardis didn’t look like a damn Apple Store

tom 🎸 (@uncreativetom) reported@Andrewislington I had to go to the Apple Store and they just plugged it into another Mac to restore it. I could have done it myself but I only own one, and no friends with Macs were nearby at the time hahaha. The main issue was that I hadn't backed anything up so lost loads of files oops

Which was obviously coded talk about moving something

Dawson Gibbs (@dawsbg) reportedThe biggest challenge for all consumer apps is acquiring users at the lowest cost. Sweatcoin was having the same issue before it exploded with new users. It was able to acquire users with traditional paid ads, but its CPI would always remain high. Sweatcoin's growth stayed linear until it decided to try a new strategy. And that strategy was mass UGC marketing. Sweatcoin partnered with creators and created organic feeling content. High volume testing of viral hooks and formats. It took these winning viral pieces of content and turned them into Spark Ads. UGC powered paid media. Sweatcoin never had to burn ad spend by guessing on creatives when the creatives were already proven to convert and get engagement. Sweatcoin 10x'd it's ROAS using this viral content made by creators. Hiring tons of creators and ad spend sounds costly, but in reality, Sweatcoin was able to lower its CPI by 53%. In fact, on Apple Store Sweatcoin had the lowest CPI possible. 60 million users acquired. And it all started with one shift in thinking. Mass UGC + UGC powered paid media = 📈 🚀 user acquisition Stop guessing on creatives. Let the market tell you what works. Then put money behind what's already proven. Organic tests it. Paid scales it. Simple as that.

Daniel Ortega (@dan_in_robots) reportedI don't know. I'm sure it's pretty, but this looks like an Apple Store on wheels. Where are the physical controls? I'll take real engineering that solves real problems. My two cents.

Jack (@jackcoder0) reportedHis 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. 🧵

⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡ (@blublairies) reportedSo it turns out my phone charging problem is actually the charger itself, which is also my laptop charger, and then confounding factor that my car charger is also a bit dodgy in its own way bahaha so… I begrudgingly have to go to the Apple Store and buy a new one.

Robert Scoble (@Scobleizer) reportedI think it's way deeper than cost efficiency. Several Apple employees have talked to me over the years about "Apple scale." If you go and sit in an Apple Store and watch people taking a class, there are many Apple customers who are still learning how to use the camera on their phone. When they roll new technology into the Apple platform, it has to work for everybody, not just the nerds. I think that's mostly what he's saying: this technology is still too hard to use and too freaky for normal everyday people, and it brings new service problems to Apple. There is a cost efficiency part to it, of course, but it's really about making products that work at Apple scale. And how many users does that involve? Billions, right?
