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. 🧵

Dsk (@dsk_8587) reported@ZEE5India Hey incompetent fellows @ZEE5India Here is a bug for your team to fix I login with my number on your ios app. When I subscribe it takes me to Apple Store. Post that I don’t see the plan in zee5 And when I logout and login with Apple id, I find the subscription. Pathetic

NIJ Ruvos (@nahidulislam404) reportedThe uncomfortable truth: Apple's business model rewards storage anxiety. The more often customers see "Storage Almost Full," the more likely they are to: 1. Pay for iCloud subscriptions 2. Upgrade to higher-storage models 3. Buy a new iPhone entirely Every default setting on a new iPhone trends in the direction of consuming more storage, not less. The 7 fixes above take 10 minutes total. They cost nothing. They will recover an average of 40-60 GB on most iPhones over 12 months old. The Apple Store employee said one more thing before he left: "We see this every day. Most people don't even check Settings → General → iPhone Storage before they walk in. They just assume the phone is too small for them. It almost never is." RT this so more iPhone users stop spending $1,000 on a storage problem that could be solved with 7 toggles.

⸜(｡˃ 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.

Nyrox (@0xNyrox) reported@officialladi_T Windows abeg Mac and their screen issues abeg... Guess because it's not direct from Apple store, my next purchase I will order

freedom (@finallyspoken1) reported@pnj777 @karanaggarwal86 @Apple I can purchase it online, it will get delivered to me sealed! I bought one from Apple Store, no such issue! Unicorn store, wants to make more money! The moment I was asked to buy a cover, as mandatory purchase I walked out!

Freedom 2 Fart (@Freedom2Fart) reported@allegrajacchia @monetization_x Allegra, key issue!!!: this is why we are trapped paying $50 for premium plus through Apple Store. They will not let you go unless it lapses. 𝕏 needs a workaround because many of us sign up on the app and get locked in at $50. I can only move to the $40 if I let my premium lapse and as result my monetization. At that point 𝕏 loses its stickiness.

DARK DECEPTION (@DarkDeceptionDD) reportedSuper Dark Deception CH2's release has been delayed on Switch, PS4, and PS5 due to patch approval issues. PS4 & PS5 are still expected to launch this weekend. Switch is dependent on Nintendo's response time. Here are the platforms where CH2 is currently available: Steam, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Google Play, Apple Store. Epic Games Store is under review and set to launch early next week.

Qianjun Befanis (@QianjunBefanis) reportedDid he said free money? Under fractional banking, $20 million means the bank can lending $2 billion to people previously had been redlining. I hope they hire good underwriters, to prevent unsound deals. I sure there are biz are sound and needs money but their biz is too small or according to data, they live in redlining areas. Hope these loans are going towards good biz and good people. I heard app developers said Apple Store pays them after 45 days, so despite they made a lot of money, but as fast they grow the bigger negative cash flow they had encountered. To small biz owners, negative cash flow due to growth happened to every one of us, so this should be a good problem to solve for them, as they should be able to collateralize their account receivables, if the payers are top rating biz like Apple or Amazon.

帕特里克 (@bobbobbobe8ao) reported@IM_Pritchard @InternetH0F Allowing you to fix your battery instead of being forced into buying a new one is a good thing actually because a lot of manufacturers like apple will brick your phone if you attempt to fix it outside of a Apple Store

Hemanth Nelavai (@HemanthNelavai) reported@gharkekalesh If you are ready to buy iPhone for ₹1,00,000 then better buy from official Apple store or their official website. Customer service will definitely be hundred times better if any problem arises

santosh Yadav (@santosh52681534) reported@Apple I forgot my password and visited the Apple Store in Mumbai to unlock my phone. I was informed that I should call customer care after 24 hours. Today, after waiting 24 hours, I contacted customer care and was told that the server would unlock my phone only after 6 days.

masYNYa (@KijAkubovs86334) reportedA developer walked out of an Apple Store carrying 7 Mac mini boxes. Security watched him. Other customers watched him. He sat down in the lounge, opened his laptop, and got to work before he even got home. Pause at [0:09]. Look at the meter plugged in on the left. 180 watts. That is the entire operation at full load. Your gaming PC idles higher than that. Five M4 Mac minis. Clustered into one machine with EXO. No cloud. No API subscription. No data leaving the room. Ever. A Llama 70B running local on MLX. It ingests a 90,000 word manuscript. Cleans the formatting. Splits the chapters. Marks every line of dialogue with the emotion it should be read in. Then a local voice model narrates the entire book in one locked voice that never gets tired and never raises its day rate. 40 hours of clean audiobook narration. Every month. While he sleeps. He sells the finished files to indie authors and faceless YouTube channels who cannot afford a studio and will not wait three weeks for one. $23 a month in electricity. $11,840 a month out. The 7 boxes on the floor are not a flex. They are the infrastructure. His girlfriend asked why he didn't just buy more. He already ordered them.

Prime AI (@primemans) reportedA man noticed his phone storage kept showing “full” after 18 months — even though he barely had any photos. He deleted apps. Cleared messages. Removed downloads. Still, every couple of weeks, the same warning returned: “Storage Almost Full.” He was ready to upgrade and buy a new iPhone. At the Apple Store, an employee stopped him for a second: “Before you spend $1,000 on a new phone, check this first.” She opened Settings → General → iPhone Storage and immediately spotted the problem. “There are 7 things quietly eating your storage. Most iPhones have them enabled by default — and almost nobody knows about them.” Then she walked him through everything in less than 10 minutes. 🧵

Rifat Ahmed (@Rifat_EE) reportedA Virtual card saves you from 30-50% tax in each payment.. (Yearly upto 1k$ save!!!) Here is the full view :: I've tried to buy @claudeai's max 20x plan that is for 200$ In my Android app it shows 33.75k BDT= 275$~ Reason : Gpay is legal in my country,so the govt + google play store are taking this 30%~ together In my Iphone is shows 999 AED= 271$~ Reason : Apple store taking 30% tax as per their rules, Moreover Apple Pay is not legal into my country yet, so i use UAE apple id where tax is only 5% for this, If my country govt legal this, they will surely take more 15% like gpay! So it will add more 30$+ when it become legal... At Claude website from any device it shows 200$+ Tax Here tax means it depends on which Countries Visacard you are using to pay! As virtual cards are not registered into any countries bank & as the diposite in card can be done via crypto We are safe from the Tax & etc etc issue Means fixed 200$ i have to give & a single penny wont be waste into Google pay or Apple pay or govt. Tax~ So,, use any trusted company's virtual card & Purchase from website,, Congrates , You are saving 30-50% in every usage...

Pradeep Pandey (@Div_pradeep) reported9 out of 10 people replace their iPhone because the battery dies fast. My brother almost did too. Then I opened Settings and changed 7 things in under 10 minutes. His battery went from dying at lunch to lasting all day. Zero cost. Zero Apple Store visit. Here's the exact fix:

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, I discovered at the Apple Store that the serial number is tied to a date of purchase from 2024 in a Walmart in the United States. Avoid this retailer.

Dack (@DackHasker) reportedlike sure I'm a nutjob or whatever, but "sir for $75 you can be taking it into the apple store, and we can be pleased to address your issue" just die lol. I don't care. waste my time, waste my life sure, but really? $75 just for me to bring it to you? How about $75,000 and you can go die.

Keisuke (@KeisukeIshikawa) reportedDANIEL CHEN BURNED $14,000 A MONTH ON H100s UNTIL HE WALKED INTO AN APPLE STORE AND BOUGHT 1,000 MAC MINIS. his AI startup was getting magic output and a death certificate at the same time. the cloud bill was eating the runway faster than the product could earn revenue so daniel ran the math on running it locally. one $599 mac mini m4 pulls 10-20 watts, costs $3 a month in electricity, and runs 24/7 forever. one $599 box replaces a $200/month subscription he racked 1,000 of them into a single facility. the whole stack draws less power than one nvidia server while pushing the same throughput then in january 2026 ollama added the anthropic messages API. now claude code itself connects to your local mac mini with one environment variable. same interface, zero API costs apple stores ran out of mac minis the same month. $599 one time beats $200 a month forever and the market figured it out before the press did the window is open. follow and bookmark before it closes.

Erik Radle (@Radle) reported@JMakeley @ProhibitionUS You can't tell the difference between an Apple Store and a cartel? The PROBLEM is a poisoned supply, cut with fent and rat poison. People are dying not because of drugs but because of cross contamination. Notice how our booze supply isn't poisoned? Legal and regulated industries are not dressed-up cartels, friend. You don't want harm reduction, just control.

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

Brooks (@Brooks_exe) reportedthere's genuinely something wrong with my iPhone 17 Pro Max that i paid over a grand for, shits having connectivity issues over both mobile data and wifi, gonna have to drop into the Apple Store at some point...

fonesy (@_fonesy_) reported@PhoenixCharts @Schmavid1 @NortonMpls It must be comforting to confidently write a daily fanfiction about how the biggest issues just so happen to be the handful of things you're already mad about. Yes babygirl, rioters burned down the Apple Store but not until after we'd decided to leave Amazing Thailand untorched.

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.
