  You have no clue what you are talking about, moron. Take some time out @AlexErrera2 . Go for a walk down to the local shopping mall. Find a shop called "Prestige **** Accessories", it will be next to the Apple store, or not. Go in and ask for a "super small jack off the crumb" self-pleasure, base model - you don't want the luxury model because that will be too expensive for you. Now, go to the chemist, or Priceline, whichever you prefer, and buy some KY jelly. You can actually get it at Woolworths, but it won't be any cheaper there, just so you know. Then walk all the way back home, like a complete ****, because you can't afford an Uber. When you get home, get a picture of Pauline Hanson, go to the bedroom, and do whatever ******** you like. We don't care what you do, and we don't want to know what you do, but you will have a "super small jack off the crumb" self-pleasure, base model" so you can ******* work it out from there. You dumb ****. Off you go. Walk.

  @deliprao I had the same issue recently. But it magically started working after I plugged in to one of the chargers in the Apple Store. The Apple store guy said that he has seen many such instances. So I suppose there is hope if luck is on your side.

  @johnennis @amazon oh, this is not just india problem but a world problem. my suggestion is straight forward - if buying online, buy it directly from their store - in this case, apple store or, buy it offline

  You can walk into any Apple Store in America, buy $50,000 in MacBooks and iPhones on 0% business credit cards, and resell every single item for 85 to 95% of retail on eBay, Swappa, and Facebook Marketplace the same day. Cash in your bank account by Friday This is how people convert 0% credit limits into liquid cash without Plastiq, without Melio, and without paying a 2.85% processing fee The Apple Store accepts credit cards for purchases up to $50,000. No questions. No ID beyond what's needed for Apple Pay. You walk in, buy 8 MacBook Pros at $2,499 each, and walk out with $19,992 on your Chase Ink Business Unlimited at 0% APR List them on eBay as "Brand New Sealed" at $2,199 each. They sell in 24 to 48 hours because sealed Apple products have the highest resale velocity of any consumer electronics on earth. People buy them because they're getting a $300 discount on a product that never goes on sale $2,199 x 8 = $17,592 in eBay revenue eBay + PayPal fees (13%): -$2,287 Your net cash received: $15,305 You spent $19,992 on a credit card. You got $15,305 in cash. You "lost" $4,687 "That's a terrible deal" No. You converted $19,992 in credit into $15,305 in LIQUID CASH at a cost of $4,687. That's a 23.5% conversion fee Plastiq charges 2.85% but has a $100K annual limit and many payees are restricted. Melio charges 2.85% but some payments take 5 to 7 days and large amounts trigger manual review The Apple resale method has: No annual limit (buy as much as they'll sell you) No payment restrictions (it's a retail purchase) No manual review (it's a credit card transaction at a store) Cash in your bank within 3 to 5 days (eBay payouts are fast) And you can improve the conversion rate dramatically: iPhones resell at 92 to 96% of retail (better than MacBooks). A $1,199 iPhone 16 Pro Max sells for $1,050 to $1,100 on Swappa within 48 hours. That's only a 5 to 8% loss after fees iPads resell at 88 to 93% of retail AirPods Max resell at 85 to 90% Apple Watches resell at 82 to 88% The optimal mix for maximum cash extraction: $30,000 in iPhone 16 Pro Max units (25 phones at $1,199): resell at $1,080 avg = $27,000 - 13% fees = $23,490 net. Loss: $6,510 (21.7%) $20,000 in iPad Pro units (10 iPads at $1,999): resell at $1,799 avg = $17,990 - 13% fees = $15,651 net. Loss: $4,349 (21.7%) Total credit card spend: $50,000 Total cash received: $39,141 Conversion rate: 78.3% Effective "fee": 21.7% "21.7% is way worse than Plastiq's 2.85%" Yes. If Plastiq works for your use case, use Plastiq. The Apple method is for when you need: More than $100K liquidated (Plastiq has limits) Cash in 3 days not 7 No paper trail linking credit cards to bank deposits through a payment processor (the cash appears as eBay/PayPal revenue, not as a Plastiq transfer) Amounts above $25K per transaction (Melio flags large single payments) The people doing this at scale aren't converting $50K. They're converting $200K to $500K across multiple Apple Stores, Best Buys, Costcos, and authorized resellers. At that volume they have eBay stores with Top Rated Seller status, which reduces fees to 10.5% and pushes the conversion rate to 82 to 85% There's also the Amazon Retail Arbitrage version: buy Apple products at retail, sell on Amazon as a third-party seller, Amazon pays out every 2 weeks. The conversion rate is similar but Amazon's customer base is willing to pay closer to retail for the Prime badge and the Amazon return policy A guy in our network converts $80K to $100K per month from credit cards to cash using this exact method across Apple, Costco, and Best Buy. His blended conversion rate after eBay fees and marketplace fees: 81%. He converts $100K in credit into $81K in cash every month $81K in cash from $100K in 0% credit. His "cost" of $19K per cycle is his equivalent of a processing fee. He treats it as a cost of capital. $19K to access $81K in free cash for 15 months = effective annualized cost of 18.6% "18.6% is expensive" Compared to what? An MCA (merchant cash advance) charges 40 to 150% effective APR A hard money loan charges 12 to 18% + 2 to 3 points A personal loan at 680 score charges 15 to 24% APR A credit card balance at standard APR: 24.99% 18.6% annualized for UNSECURED CASH with NO APPLICATION PROCESS, NO UNDERWRITING, and NO REPAYMENT SCHEDULE beyond minimums at 0% for 15 months is cheaper than almost every alternative source of liquid capital for someone without assets to collateralize And the credit card rewards on $100K in Apple Store purchases: roughly $2,000 to $3,000 in points. That drops the effective cost to 15.6 to 16.6% btw the IRS doesn't track retail purchases on credit cards. The purchase shows up as "APPLE STORE #R123" on your credit card statement. The eBay revenue shows up as income from your eBay seller account. If your LLC is the eBay seller, the purchase is a "business inventory expense" and the revenue is "product sales." The accounting is clean this is the emergency version of the liquidation play. when you need cash in 72 hours, can't wait for Plastiq, and need more than $25K. you walk into Apple, buy everything they'll sell you, walk out, list it on eBay, and have cash in your bank by Friday. the most liquid asset in America isn't gold or bitcoin. it's a sealed iPhone lmfaooo (we get 700+ score business owners $100K-$250K in 0% business funding. how you liquidate is your business. we build the capital stack. link in bio)

  I’m loving all the animal accounts. It’s a much needed laugh in a day where I spent most of the afternoon in the Apple Store going through Password Hell. And it wasn’t even MY problem. Long, dumb story.

  @VRMurphy @WallStreetApes 🙄🙄🙄 My child, avid online shopper, ONLY buys her Apple products from an Apple store. Why? Because when you're about to plunk down $1500 for a phone, or 3k for a phone+laptop, you want to touch them first, get advice, have your phone settings & chip transferred over.

  @suhkdeepdeekshi Had this problem many a time with my last pair of AirPods, it’s a *****. Knock on wood my most recent pair hasn’t had any problems. The Apple Store told me can be caused by either the case or the AirPods themselves. I think your problem could be the AirPod(s) not care

  @svr123456789 @QshrQls @Eyaaaad If you use a cheap battery, your phone will definitely have problems. Also, as you said, iPhones have glued backs, so it's not a job everyone can do at home. To have it replaced at an Apple store costs €150 or more.

  iPhone pops up and says the battery capacity is under 70% and to click here to replace the battery for free. I click and make an appointment for 6:30pm. I drive an hour to the Apple Store and after sitting with the Apple “Genius” for 30 minutes while he enters my info, he informs me that they don’t have time to replace the battery before they close at 8pm, and that I can return tomorrow morning. I feel like I’m in Seinfeld episode. “You know how to take the reservation. Keeping the reservation is the problem”

  @Airtel_Presence Issue finally resolved, but only after visiting 9 Airtel stores and the Apple Store multiple times. Some Airtel staff said no LAN, some said server issue, others blamed Apple. Apple said it was Airtel’s issue. Airtel finally accepted it was their issue and fixed @airtelindia

  My MacBook Pro just stopped working from error messages to having these options and tried it all - see image. Also ran diagnostics, spoke to Apple Support last night and took the mac to apple store today - they were not able to help! They couldnt find the storage device - thats it. I’ve used @grok thus far + @AppleSupport phone & in-store support. Who can help and get me past this problem?
