  My brand new iPhone 17 pro max; less than a year old is getting hot unnecessarily! What should I do? @Apple what’s going on with your product? Why’s your latest phone in your company acting weird and not working effectively? Why’s it getting hot when it’s a brand new phone? Why should it even have any cause to have any problem when I actually bought it outright from your Apple Store? Why? I should’ve just gone for the Google Pixel 10 pro max that I wanted to buy initially. This is bull ****! 💩

  24+ hours later my @TMobile eSIM still won’t activate on my brand new iPhone. I’ve spent hours with @TMobileHelp, visited a T-Mobile store for over an hour, and even went to the Apple Store. Apple believes the issue is on T-Mobile’s provisioning side.

  @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.

  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. Next thread: the AppleCare+ honest math when it saves you $300 and when it wastes $269. The decision framework every Apple buyer needs before checkout.

  @BradTechh My tablet. However apples made the same mistake of all the other digital companies 2010. older instructional material that was degraded to the level of the Gutenberg Bible as compared to the user-friendly era, the leaders of which was Steve Jobs. Following that engineering and programmers produce most of the educational material it’s got awful. It’s composed of thousands of variables that are programmer constructed and link nill sure even the associated English words. Just just write down the steps for something as simple as user face identification it’s buried five pages under God knows words that have to be learned as a foreign language and still none of them are intuitively connected the number one big thing that could really swing Apple around would be an elegant review and complete revision of their instructional material for their wonderful machines that are so complex that they should bend over backwards to make their instructions, palatable or intuitive. You’ll notice that most of the major medical schools and nearly all of the engineering and advanced school Prestigious aggressively is auditory, visual, interactive, curriculum components, extensively. Apple’s approach breaks the number one rule “ The medium is the message”. Just go to Apple Store and watch who’s who’s really teaching neophytes. You’ll see clusters of friends doing just that kind of teaching, but notice that the books and the instructional material and the online stuff is avoided. One small group of special education specialist could convert it to easily absorbable. I bet that would increase our market share 25%.

  6. Free data transfer and setup the service most buyers decline and then struggle alone. When you buy a new iPhone, iPad, or Mac at the Apple Store: the staff will transfer your data from your old device, set up the new one, and walk you through the key features. Free. Most customers say "no thanks, I'll set it up at home" then spend 3 hours figuring out data transfer, re-downloading apps, re-entering passwords, and troubleshooting iCloud sync issues. The Apple Store setup takes 20-30 minutes. They do it while you browse. They transfer contacts, photos, apps, and settings from your old device. They pair your Apple Watch. They configure Face ID. They verify iCloud backup. For seniors and less tech-savvy buyers: the in-store setup eliminates the most frustrating part of a new device. You walk in with an old phone. You walk out with a new phone fully set up, fully loaded, fully working. For Mac buyers: the staff transfers files, settings, and applications from your old Mac to the new one using Migration Assistant. Everything transfers. Even your desktop wallpaper.

  Is it possible we are at the beginning of the end of the smartphone era? If AI is as big as it appears to be, computer and memory will flow to its applications (from datacenter to edge). This will cause price inflation for smartphones, including and perhaps especially Apple ones because Apple's edge has been ever more advanced compute (and better cameras), alongside of course amazing software. So iPhones go up in price, margins go down, and people upgrade less. Apple's strategy of on-device AI exacerbates the problem because it adds cost, but not much functionality. On device Apple models sound like the elegant and profitable way to avoid the capex-AI investment cycle bedeviling Wall Street, but it instead pushes Apple headlong into a high price, low margin winter of expensive on device AI combined with an awkward partnership with its primary competitor, Google (who seems to be losing its AI mojo as we speak). And as an aside, I had the unusual experience at the Apple Store yesterday of being upsold aggressively on Apple News+ and some business service thing I didn't want. Apple service revenue is important, but it's very tied to Apple devices (especially Apple Care). Anyways, just a thought. Not bagging on Apple, but the thought occured to me that if the competition for scarce computer and memory doesn't let up, Apple's salad days of ever more powerful iPhones at a reasonable cost may be over.

  His Apple Watch battery health was 81% after wearing it for only 10 months. He charged it on his nightstand every night. Left it on the charger until morning. Used Always-On Display all day. Kept cellular turned on even when his iPhone was in his pocket. Ran GPS workouts 5 times a week without closing the session properly. He did everything most Apple Watch owners do. That was the problem. His friend, a former Apple Store technician, looked at his Battery Health screen and said one sentence: "You've been draining this thing twice as fast as it should drain. Apple built 2 features into watchOS that slow the damage to almost zero and you've never turned either one on." She toggled 2 settings. Changed one charging habit. Turned off one feature he didn't know was running. 4 months later his battery health hasn't dropped a single percent. It's been sitting at 81% since. Here's everything she changed 🧵

  @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.

  @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.

  Apple support has gone down the gutter. AppleCare+ doesn't help either. Waste of money My airpod pro 3 has a hardware defect where the right pod inner hardware starts to shuffle on long runs They denied my warranty claim because their 'test' didn't detect anything in a stationary environment I had an appt at the Apple Store scheduled but it took 30 mins to chat with someone. Another 30 minutes to chat with a manager All for them to say they can't help and that their test was rigorous enough to simulate my 'long run' use case. Sure I could've sworn that their Support used to be much better! Maybe it's location dependent

  @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.

  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 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.
