  @grok Already did but ... I have a bad feeling about this. If all I need to do is downgrade back to SuperGrok and then upgrade immediately to SuperGrok Plus that's fine, I just need someone to tell me that's the official fix, I don't feel like experimenting and messing up my account. I actually do not need the $30/mo SuperGrok because I have SuperGrok through my X Premium+ account charged through the Apple store... But if I flat out just *cancel* Heavy I'm afraid I will lose all my stuff!

  @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.

  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. 👋

  Detroit believed a viable electric car was impossible. Elon Musk believed Tesla had to prove the industry wrong. This clip is from 2007, when Tesla was still imagining service centers that felt closer to an Apple Store than a traditional dealership. The larger goal was not simply to sell Roadsters. Musk wanted Tesla to become evidence. The technology could work. People would buy it. Electric cars could be desirable instead of feeling like a compromise. He also explains why selling Tesla to an established automaker would have slowed the mission down. Incumbents usually ask whether a strange new product fits the existing business. Startups can ask whether the existing business deserves to survive.

  @realMAG1775 Kids each have a Neo. Yes, you pay the "Apple Tax" premium but the **** just works.... I don't need to play IT guy.... If they do have issues they go into the nearest Apple Store and it's promptly taken care of. With my Dell it's endless cycles with Indian support idiots who can't even spell DELL.

  I actually took a 24” iMac to the ‘genius’ people in an Apple Store as I had 97gb system data. They pretended they didn’t know how to whittle it down.

  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.

  @UU_Ess_Pee @deandunham I haven’t yet had a problem. But it is misleading. Even if you buy a film on the Apple Store, it says ‘buy’. Unfortunately it’s a consumer misconception that the hand over of payment for a digital item is yours. When ‘digital’ is concerned, it’s not.

  Faced a similar issue at the Apple Store recently. Opted for credit card EMI on a MacBook, but the entire amount was billed upfront in one go. The store blamed it on the bank rejecting the backend EMI conversion. Credit card EMI processing in retail is notoriously messy.
