  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.

  My wife went to @Apple store to get my exchanged iPhone. No box, nothing. She had to take it out of the box which “is used to send back the broken iPhone”. What a nice customer service. I’ll pass over the fact that the guy was totally mansplaining her and she had to pay MY bill because Apple can’t find a way to send me a paiement link for me to pay it. When did Apple got so bad at customer care ?

  @the_transit_guy Down that same stretch you also have the Apple Store and the Boylston entrance of the Prudential Center. It’s hardly an outlier let’s be serious. “Just a block for Newbury” means nothing. It’s not Newbury.

  @AdrianDittmann I broke my phone a few months ago and went to the Apple Store to get it fixed. It was in a very bad shape. The casing was dented and the screen didn’t work at all. He’ll, the screen fell off. It took 2 hrs for them for fix. And that thing looked good as new. I know what he saying

  @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.

  Okay this is weird. But I don't know why Apple review team is facing Purchase issue during the review. Like I have 11 testers for this app in testflight, none of them ever faced this. After I got this notif, I checked it myself again, worked flawlessly. Anyone has any ideas ?? What to check ?? I have covered the basics like rev cat config, apple store subs etc etc. But its working for everyone, all the internal and external testers. How is this possible ?

  @Apple @AppStore @AppleSupport I don't think it's professional that waiting 3 days to get a response on Apple Store Connect. This's doesn't fit Apple so far! The iOS app has been in review for almost a week and I'm keep messaging back and forth about changes has been done and still getting some issues from no where. The team reaches out ever 3 days!!! So I need someone from Apple Store Management to get this through.

  If you bought an iPhone and think paying extra for AppleCare means @Apple will take care of you when the battery becomes practically unusable, think again. Apple’s position is simple: if your battery capacity has not dropped below 80%, they will not cover the battery replacement under AppleCare. My own experience has been extremely disappointing. After almost two years of using my iPhone, the battery has degraded so badly that it can no longer last a full day outside under normal usage. When the phone was new, the same kind of usage could easily last me around two days. I went to the Apple Store. I raised the issue with Apple Support. I formally complained and escalated the case. In the end, the answer was still the same: policy is policy. If the battery is above 80%, replacement is out of pocket. What frustrates me most is the complete lack of regard for the actual user experience. Apparently, it does not matter how badly the battery performs in real life. It does not matter how much the battery has deteriorated. As long as that number on the screen has not crossed Apple’s magic 80% line, the answer is no. So much for paying for AppleCare and expecting meaningful support when the product has clearly degraded. Very disappointed with Apple. @tim_cook

  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).

  A woman spent 5 years as an Apple Store Genius. She repaired, troubleshot, and configured over 10,000 iPhones. She now runs an IT consulting firm. She told me: "Every iPhone owner walks around with a supercomputer in their pocket that's configured against them. The default settings drain your battery faster than necessary, share your location with apps that don't need it, let advertisers track you across the internet, send your typing data to third-party servers, keep a detailed diary of everywhere you've ever been, and let strangers ring your phone 15 times a day with spam calls you could silence with one toggle." "I picked up my mom's iPhone last Thanksgiving and found 11 problems in 3 minutes. Her battery was dying by 2 PM because 47 apps were refreshing in the background. Her location was being shared with apps she deleted 2 years ago. Her photos were accessible to 23 apps that only needed the camera. Her storage was full of files she couldn't see. And her Lock Screen was showing message previews to anyone who picked up the phone." "She'd owned the iPhone for 3 years. She'd never opened the Settings app beyond changing her wallpaper." "The iPhone ships with over 200 configurable settings. Most people have changed 3: the wallpaper, the ringtone, and the Wi-Fi password. The other 197 are running on defaults Apple chose and not all of them were chosen for you." Here are 11 iPhone settings most people have never changed and exactly how to change each one: 🧵

  Tried Apple’s new hardware leasing option and got sent through @Klarna. Rejected with no explanation, then dumped back to the Apple Store home screen with an empty cart. Apparently Klarna wants you to build a purchase history with them before they’ll “trust” you. If they actually checked my credit history, approval wouldn’t be an issue. Really disappointing to see @Apple outsource financing to a company with a model like this.

  @dhh In case you’re wondering how he set this up: Download Tailscale: creates the secure private network between both devices. Dowload Termius on playstore or apple store: the terminal app running on the Fold. SSH: connects Termius to his remote computer or VPS. Install Codex/Claude on the server: runs on the remote machine as the coding agent. The Fold is the interface; the real development environment and computing power remain on the remote machine.

I subscribed to it through my iPhone Apple Store in India, as there were certain issues while subscribing through the website. Still no response from your team. Please look into it.

  I wonder how best to share my experience I fear if I did it real time for content It would be hours and hours and hours of me accomplishing minuscule things. Maybe I need time lapse videography for this. I would attach the photo that tells you how Apple won't let me rotate the settings screen or the Apple Store screen, but there's a really easy way that I could manage the selections of the menu in the top half of the screen using the accessibility voiceover feature and that just gives me like 10 steps to follow SMH, I am pretty sure I will try and do it through the laptop and sign in through the cloud and then go to subscriptions because it sounds easier than the 10 steps that I wish I could attach in a photo but then I can't hit the button to finish the attachment because you have the top half of the phone touchscreen won't work and.... I need to check how many days Walmart is giving me before I have to return this device because I just wanna make sure I could do everything in the cloud that needs to be done or that I do everything on the device that I'm supposed to before I send it backs.... I am completely accepting advice from everyone and anyone who has 100% dissociated from Apple, not just switched providers but made sure that they did not leave any data in the cloud behind

  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.

  @bunburyoudoujp Yea im american, and i was raised there and in japan. Wheres the problem. I downloaded x on an american iphone that i bought in america and took the phone to japan, why would i make another apple account? you cant merge them, are you daft? Lose 15 years of movies, apps and music just to have a japanese iphone? there is literally no point. Or did you not also know that if i had purchased an iphone at the shinjuku apple store last month, id still be logging into my american account ive had for 25 years which would open the North American app store because thats where my bank is based, and it would say... connected via north american app store. And since I have netflix and multiple other american services i need a... vpn connected to america, so making this account isnt very hard when you have 2 phone numbers 2 banks and a vpn and and iphone from japan or america LMFAO. Yawl dont even know that that feature was just put there to confuse you idiots evenmore, lull you into a false sense of security that you know who youre talking to. Make you think theres transparency here and you arent talking to some op. Anyways lol "I HAVE PR" stomp stomp stomp. congrats, your fees are still up there and it still has to be renewed which allllllllways means you could be on the chopping block each and every year. And with the way things are going, maybe next year. You didnt naturalize, you made the poor choice of going PR. Youre vulnerable

  Because Phone Broke and I couldn't AUTHENTICATE Myself on Google Laptop without @Apple @Walmart phone working, I was in N. Carolina driving north on i-95 alone, figuring out troubleshooting THAT my phone was broken and HOW it was BROKEN, but not BEFORE @Apple locked me out for perpetuity to not ever prove I was human until I entered an APPLE STORE for 3 hours of GREAT customer service in Bridgewater, New Jersey I could NOT call DOCTORS (chronic pain patient, stage 2b breast cancer survivor living with peripheral neuropathy, post-mastectomy pain syndrome, osteopenia, arthritic pain, IBS, to name a few...), I could NO ACCESS access PHARMACY (during mudbutt, as cancer survivor, finding Tick after walk w dogs next to Motel6 gross!), I could NO make a RESERVATION for a hotel down the road, I couldn't contact FAMILY for 48+ hours (until I literally drove up to their house troubleshooting New Jersey JUGHANDLES from suppressed memories?!?) I couldn't AUTHENTICATE Myself for small biz account for while I don't have a backup manager... I had no GPS, but I happen to be smart enough to travel half way across the country without picking up a map or a phone. ONE Lucky strike.

  If this changes how you use the Apple Store or saves you $229 with an education discount you didn't know existed one ask: Repost the first post so the next person buying a MacBook at full price sees the price match, the trade-in, the free workshops, and the discount they qualify for. Follow [ @jackcoder0 ] I break down the hidden services, retail secrets, and money-saving strategies that companies bank on you not asking about.
