  @saradietschy The only thing that a pass key has been useful for is when I had it saved in my iCloud and tried to add all my Gmail accounts to my new phone after turning over my old phone to the rep at the Apple Store. Cuz like how can you open the YouTube app on your old phone to verify a sign in for your new phone if you don’t have it! Uhh!!

  Your iPhone has shortcuts Apple never told you about. You've owned it for years and used maybe two of them. A former Apple Store Genius who spent 5 years teaching customers how to use their phones said the same thing happened every day: a customer would come in with a problem that a built-in shortcut already solved. Editing text. Undoing mistakes. Scanning documents. Switching apps. Selecting multiple items. All solvable with a gesture nobody taught them. "Apple builds shortcuts into every corner of iOS and never puts them on the box. There's no tutorial. There's no pop-up tip. There's no guided walkthrough. You either discover them by accident, hear about them from a friend, or use your phone for 5 years without knowing your keyboard is a trackpad, your back panel is a button, and three fingers can undo anything." He said most iPhone owners interact with their phone the slow way tapping, scrolling, switching between apps one at a time when a gesture, a shortcut, or a hidden feature could do the same thing in half the time. "You're doing 40 taps a day that could be 10. The shortcuts are already on your phone. Nobody showed you." Here are the 9:

  @_GTAVI_ I don't. They had the opportunity of a lifetime to generate early 00's Apple Store hype for a midnight release of this game. Naa Code in a box and maybe a physical release down the road. I hope the story gets leaked TLOU2 style.

  Thank you bro. That 128 gb storage on 16 Pro was absolutely chaotic , so a change was necessary. I always had full storage and I was deleting and downloading the same apps every day. My Dad got an iPhone 17 in mist blue as well, , trading in my old 16 Pro at the Apple Store for $925 aud. Got the full value for it, despite having some deep scratches. iPhone 17 was $1399 aud, after the Trade In, it was $474 aud. This iPhone Air was his for the last 4 months. But now he transferred everything to that 17 , so this Air is mine. I did an iCloud backup , and have iOS 27 beta running on this iPhone Air in Sky Blue. I could have chosen the 17, but I wanted a unique iPhone, and so far I don’t really have an issue with it. I wish 0.5x camera and better battery life , but it’s amazing and beautiful iPhone. The 12 gb ram with the best Siri and expressive voices is amazing so far. It’s like my silver cellular 11 inch M5 iPad Pro with both having C1X cellular and N1 Wifi/Bluetooth/Thread chips — the phone and tablet feel like twins. For now, Air is a “temporary-relief” iPhone mainly for storage. If the iPhone 18 Pro interests me, then I might get that, and give this Air to my mom. She needs an iPhone as well. currently has Pixel 7 Or if the iPhone Air is okay, might as well wait for the 20th anniversary iPhone. Or my dad might get the foldable iPhone Ultra, and give the 17 to my mom. Time will tell. Interesting times ahead such as the new HomePod, Apple TV with AI, MacBook Pro/Ultra with OLED screen etc.

  Because Phone Broke and I couldn't AUTHENTICATE Myself on Google Laptop without @Apple @Walmart phone working, I was in N. Carolina driving north on i-95 alone, figuring out troubleshooting THAT my phone was broken and HOW it was BROKEN, but not BEFORE @Apple locked me out for perpetuity to not ever prove I was human until I entered an APPLE STORE for 3 hours of GREAT customer service in Bridgewater, New Jersey I could NOT call DOCTORS (chronic pain patient, stage 2b breast cancer survivor living with peripheral neuropathy, post-mastectomy pain syndrome, osteopenia, arthritic pain, IBS, to name a few...), I could NO ACCESS access PHARMACY (during mudbutt, as cancer survivor, finding Tick after walk w dogs next to Motel6 gross!), I could NO make a RESERVATION for a hotel down the road, I couldn't contact FAMILY for 48+ hours (until I literally drove up to their house troubleshooting New Jersey JUGHANDLES from suppressed memories?!?) I couldn't AUTHENTICATE Myself for small biz account for while I don't have a backup manager... I had no GPS, but I happen to be smart enough to travel half way across the country without picking up a map or a phone. ONE Lucky strike.

  You'll make WAY more money if you stop trusting something because it makes sense IN THEORY Getting plenty of comments sounds great IN THEORY, but 99% of them are almost always tirekickers and don't indicate potential buyers Selling at top of funnel after using spray and pray content sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize top of funnel content is outside a funnel so its guaranteed to attract mainly people who would never pay you Shipping new product updates publicly sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize other people with more experience can now clone your offer in 1 hour and market it better (you are also just procrastinating instead of making money) Giving up after 20 DM/Cold Emails sounds great IN THEORY, until you learn statistically you will make no money unless you send 650-1000 Doing lifestyle marketing with Ferrari's and Penthouses and Private Jets sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize that just makes you look like a moron Making your entire goal retiring your parents sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize not everyone has poor third world country parents Hiring early sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you have no idea how to write an SOP, and nobody will ever be as good as you at your job in the early stages Depending the Apple Store to make software sales sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you are now dependent on a system that can remove you whenever they want for whatever reason (and you still have zero idea how to drive traffic yourself, make sales yourself, or build a customer acquisition system yourself) Earning all your income from YouTube views sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize there's a 21 year old selling ebooks on Instagram borrowing traffic who's lapping you in profit every month (and unlike you if he loses a YouTube channel he doesn't lose all his income) Building a landing page using a framer template/lovable sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you maximized aesthetics and destroyed your conversion rate (because you have zero idea how to write actual copy and now your site looks like a clone of every other landing page) Spending $200k on a ******* dance theory degree sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you just blew $200k you could have spent 5% of that on a mentor and hit $30k/mo in just 1 year Posting "Insane Value" on the timeline sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you are sophisticating the market and years from now you're going to see all the sh#t you charged thousands of dollars for are now common sense and available everywhere for free Reading 100 Books every year sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize most of the OG books teach the same fundamentals, and you could easily have absorbed all their most important lessons using Notebooklm over night instead of spending 365 days reading platitude drivel and irrelevant personal stories they put in between the actual value inside the book Being afraid to pay for high quality help sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize the broke guy who saved up the $600-$5k and invested in a good mentor is now making $30k/mo, and you're still under $2k/mo despite starting at the same time Posting mainly platitude drivel every single day to drive impressions toward your middle of funnel sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize everyone now thinks you're ret#rded because you don't seem to have an original thought about anything whatsoever (stop trying to be Kieran Drew, Dan Koe, or Justin Welsh) Not following your mentor's instructions sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize the only reason you're doubting yourself is because you don't have his/her experience, and because they already went through that self doubt and figured it out anyway, you not listening to them is the only reason you are not making money We solve every single one of these problems and bottlenecks in DPU btw (no audience required) Godspeed, Ian

  I got just about every single new iPhone release since 1.0. I even stood in line 5+ hours a couple of times at the flagship Palo Alto store. Missed the sporadic Steve appearances, though. RIP. One time, I stood there all day for the release of iPhone 4. That's the one where it was glass, front and back. That very night, we were walking back from a restaurant, and I fumbled and dropped it. Shattered. Next day, I go to a different Apple Store, one nearby. They asked me, "how long did you stand in line?" 6 hours, I say. They took extreme pity on me and replaced it with a new one. No charge. Other times, they have done similarly, like when a battery crapped out, and they exchanged it with a refurb. Another time, I jumped in the pool with my X (10.0) and it crapped out from water. Replaced for free. Apple has been exceedingly good to me as a great company. My MacBooks last 8+ years, never a single problem. I replace them simply because it's "time." iPhone 10 (X) was the last one I purchased. See, since about #7, the camera was already better than I could hope for. Met all my needs, and it was a huge step forward in low-light photography. Then with every new release, it seemed to focus (har har) on the camera. Like a huge percentage of the release shindig was about the camera. No other huge developments. By this time, 95% of owners are only going to use the excellent point-and-shoot capabilities. So, in 2020, a few months after moving to Thailand, I asked myself, why am I carrying around a $1,300 phone when I can get everything I need for about $350 (10,000 baht)? So I did. Got a Samsung first, two replacements for the same price point since then, different brands. My latest is a Vivo. I'm sure the 4x more expensive iPhone does better photos, if i were to bother to geek out on that. But I'm fine. And if i break my phone, lose it, or it gets stolen, it's not a panic event. Oh, well, time for a new one.

  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.

  @theficouple I switched to EVs years ago. Would never go back to a barbaric gas car. Slow. Lots of maintenance. You have to go to a gas station and touch a greasy pump. Gross. Imagine how annoying it would be if you had to drive to an Apple Store every time you wanted to charge your iPhone.😬

  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.

  @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 my us like a child that she was not aware that she needed to scroll to the bottom. 👉 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.

  @bunburyoudoujp Yea im american, and i was raised there and in japan. Wheres the problem. I downloaded x on an american iphone that i bought in america and took the phone to japan, why would i make another apple account? you cant merge them, are you daft? Lose 15 years of movies, apps and music just to have a japanese iphone? there is literally no point. Or did you not also know that if i had purchased an iphone at the shinjuku apple store last month, id still be logging into my american account ive had for 25 years which would open the North American app store because thats where my bank is based, and it would say... connected via north american app store. And since I have netflix and multiple other american services i need a... vpn connected to america, so making this account isnt very hard when you have 2 phone numbers 2 banks and a vpn and and iphone from japan or america LMFAO. Yawl dont even know that that feature was just put there to confuse you idiots evenmore, lull you into a false sense of security that you know who youre talking to. Make you think theres transparency here and you arent talking to some op. Anyways lol "I HAVE PR" stomp stomp stomp. congrats, your fees are still up there and it still has to be renewed which allllllllways means you could be on the chopping block each and every year. And with the way things are going, maybe next year. You didnt naturalize, you made the poor choice of going PR. Youre vulnerable

  None of this requires spending $249 on a new pair right away. It's three things: check real charging habits, turn off features you don't need, and ask about the $49–$69 official battery replacement before assuming a full replacement is the only option. Go check your AirPods settings right now. If this was useful, RT the first tweet so someone else saves $200 before their next Apple Store visit. And if you've got a specific AirPods battery or connection question, reply and I'll help you track it down.
