  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.

  A little different from what I usually do👨🏾‍💻 After deploying the apps to both the Play Store and Apple Store, and while waiting for the frontend production team to catch up with me, I decided to spend some time on the other side of development. Currently testing the web application, going through reported bugs, validating fixes, reporting new issues, creating and assigning Jira tickets to engineers, and following up to make sure everything gets resolved properly. Not just building anymore… making sure what we build actually works. 🦅

  I feel most at peace when the Apple geniuses at the Apple Store let me pretend to be a technology nerd about my broken MacBook

  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 ?

  Here's what she told me at the end: Apple operates over 500 retail stores in 26 countries. They generate more revenue per square foot than any other retailer in the world. But the money isn't what makes them different. It's what happens inside them that most customers never experience. Free diagnostics that catch $99 problems before they become $2,000 replacements. Free workshops that teach photography, video, music, and coding every day, in every store. A trade-in program that turns old devices in any condition into instant credit. Education pricing that saves students and teachers hundreds of dollars. Personal Shopping Sessions that build your perfect setup with zero pressure. A Small Business Team that configures, deploys, and manages devices for companies. A Self Service Repair program that ships genuine parts and professional tools to your home. An app with AR shopping, video consultations, and express checkout. And a 14-day return policy that lets you live with a product risk-free. Most customers walk in, buy something, and walk out. They never book a workshop. They never schedule a diagnostic. They never check their trade-in value. They never ask for education pricing. They never meet the Business Team. They never know about Self Service Repair. They never try the return policy on a purchase they're unsure about. "Apple built the highest-revenue retail stores on earth not by selling harder, but by offering more. The selling happens because the services build trust. Most customers access 10% of what the store offers. The other 90% is sitting there free, available, and waiting for someone to walk up and ask." She said the 9 services above are available right now at your nearest Apple Store. Most of them require nothing more than walking in and asking. Some require a quick online booking. None of them cost anything beyond the products themselves. The store didn't change. What you know about it did. And that's the difference between someone who buys from Apple and someone who actually uses an Apple Store.

  @ValerieAnne1970 Yep. My iPhone 11 suddenly started having issues typing messages. Never damaged or wet. Just one day, started acting up. I took it into an Apple Store and was told that it would cost more to ‘fix’ it than to get a new one and they wouldn’t guarantee they could even fix it.

  As great as the iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 betas have been, the watchOS 27 beta is atrocious. Siri doesn’t work for HoneKit controls and it’s super slow for checking weather and other things compared to iOS and iPadOS 27. I might have to take a trip to the Apple Store to revert my watch back.

  9. He replaced the battery himself in 30 seconds — and learned the AirTag is designed to last forever. The AirTag uses a standard CR2032 coin cell battery — the same battery in most watches, calculators, and garage door remotes. Available at any pharmacy, grocery store, or gas station for $3-$5. Battery life: approximately 1 year under normal use. How to replace it: Press down on the stainless steel back of the AirTag and twist counterclockwise. The back pops off. Remove the old battery. Drop in a new CR2032 (positive side up). Twist the back on. Done. 30 seconds. No charging cable. No charging pad. No proprietary battery. No trip to the Apple Store. No subscription renewal. A $3 battery swap once a year — and the AirTag runs for another 12 months. He set a calendar reminder: "Replace AirTag batteries" once a year in January. He buys a 10-pack of CR2032 batteries for $8. He replaces all 7 AirTags in under 4 minutes. Annual maintenance cost for his entire AirTag system: $8. Compare this to competitors: Tile trackers: some models have non-replaceable batteries. When the battery dies (1-3 years), you buy a new tracker. Tile's subscription service ($3/month) adds premium features that AirTags include for free. Samsung SmartTag: replaceable battery, but runs on Samsung's Find network — roughly 200 million devices versus Apple's 2 billion. Smaller network means less accurate and less frequent location updates. Apple AirTag: $29 upfront. $3/year in batteries. $0 subscription. Access to a 2-billion-device tracking network. No expiration date. The same AirTag you buy today works in 2030, 2035, and beyond — as long as you swap a $3 battery once a year. "The AirTag doesn't expire. It doesn't need upgrading. It doesn't have a subscription. You buy it once, replace a $3 battery every January, and it protects everything you own — forever."

  @fwaevon I recently went through this. The smiling kid at the mall kiosk offered to fix my cracked screen for $60 but had to disclose it would void my warranty with Apple. So I went to the Apple store and paid their price. I guess I passed the loyalty test, at least this time.

  BTW, a release of a myth banner is actually a great time to **** up a game's reach on the appstore by giving scathing 1 star reviews on Apple Store/Google Play. Logging in shows there's want for the game but bad reviews shows that there's game management issues. #NoValkoNoMoney

  @GergelyOrosz Getting Samsung to honour my warranty on my Android phone and an issue with my Lenovo laptop were both painful to get fixed. With Apple I just walk to the Apple Store. Once you start going down the Apple path, they do a really good job pulling you into the ecosystem.

  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: 🧵

  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.
