Numan (@Numan_Ai12) reportedSo I asked the Apple Store technician the same question again: "Do these settings activated by default really protect the user... or are they slowly wearing down the device?" He didn't have an answer. But every iPhone he checked that day had exactly the same 2 options ACTIVATED. Silently heating up in their owners' pockets.

I AM WHAT I AM (@bravta2bravta) reportedMy brand new iPhone 17 pro max; less than a year old is getting hot unnecessarily! What should I do? @Apple what’s going on with your product? Why’s your latest phone in your company acting weird and not working effectively? Why’s it getting hot when it’s a brand new phone? Why should it even have any cause to have any problem when I actually bought it outright from your Apple Store? Why? I should’ve just gone for the Google Pixel 10 pro max that I wanted to buy initially. This is bull ****! 💩

Onyx_Digital (@OnyxAudit) reported🚨 #BREAKING : The @telegram app has just been removed from the @Apple store. It had been removed because it had made "inappropriate content" available to users, founder Pavel Durov said. The removal came soon after Telegram launched an unfinished version of its "experimental" Telegram X app. Apple took down both the official messaging app and the one still being worked on.

Veltrx (@Veltrxai) reportedSam Altman taught 720 startups one formula where luck is a random number between 0 and 10,000. Stanford, 2014. The opening lecture of CS183B was so packed he asked for a bigger auditorium. He was 28, a dropout from this same school 9 years earlier, now running Y Combinator. The formula he wrote on the board: idea × product × team × execution × luck and you only control 4 of the 5, because the fifth one goes to 10,000. His words, not a metaphor. Then he did something strange: he handed half of his own lecture to Dustin Moskovitz, co-founder of Facebook, whose entire job was to talk students out of starting companies. Dustin showed one table. Employee 100 at Dropbox with standard 10 basis points made $10 million, employee 250 at Facebook made $200 million, and employee 1,000 joining in 2009, when everyone said it was too late still made $20 million. Your own startup? Best case you build a $100 million company and keep 10% after dilution. $10 million, same as employee 1,000, minus your health. Dustin knew the price because he paid it: at 21 he was throwing his back out every 6 months from pure anxiety, always on call, unable to quit a founder who leaves wears the black eye for a decade. Then Altman twisted the lecture back with advice that cut against everything in the room. The best ideas look terrible at the start: the 13th search engine, the 10th social network limited to college kids, sleeping on strangers' couches. If an idea sounds good, too many people are already building it. Make something 100 people love instead of something 10,000 people like. Ben Silbermann recruited Pinterest's first users by walking up to strangers in Palo Alto coffee shops, then resetting every browser in the Apple Store to Pinterest's homepage until they threw him out. And the only valid reason to start is that you can't not do it. Dustin built Asana at night, after full days at Facebook, unpaid and unasked. "The idea was beating itself out of our chest." The rest is a number between 0 and 10,000.

Anthony Woolf (@anthonywoolf) reportedIs 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.

Ken Cook (@KenCook_KC) reported@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.

SaMi (@info_with_ai) reported🚨 BREAKING: A former Apple Store employee revealed what they say customers rarely hear at the Genius Bar. If your battery health is still above 80%, you may be pushed toward a new iPhone when a battery replacement could solve the problem. Before your next Genius Bar visit, here are 5 things Apple employees may not tell you—according to someone who worked behind the bar:

JoshWorksAI (@JoshPrompts) reportedWho do really rich people go to for their tech issues? Like, say I'm a billionaire, and I have a problem with my Photos application. Surely I just don't go to the Apple Store...? Do I?

William AI (@wiliam23820a) reportedThe 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.

ArtsDoc (@ArtsArtssmity) reported@BradTechh My tablet. However apples made the same mistake of all the other digital companies 2010. older instructional material that was degraded to the level of the Gutenberg Bible as compared to the user-friendly era, the leaders of which was Steve Jobs. Following that engineering and programmers produce most of the educational material it’s got awful. It’s composed of thousands of variables that are programmer constructed and link nill sure even the associated English words. Just just write down the steps for something as simple as user face identification it’s buried five pages under God knows words that have to be learned as a foreign language and still none of them are intuitively connected the number one big thing that could really swing Apple around would be an elegant review and complete revision of their instructional material for their wonderful machines that are so complex that they should bend over backwards to make their instructions, palatable or intuitive. You’ll notice that most of the major medical schools and nearly all of the engineering and advanced school Prestigious aggressively is auditory, visual, interactive, curriculum components, extensively. Apple’s approach breaks the number one rule “ The medium is the message”. Just go to Apple Store and watch who’s who’s really teaching neophytes. You’ll see clusters of friends doing just that kind of teaching, but notice that the books and the instructional material and the online stuff is avoided. One small group of special education specialist could convert it to easily absorbable. I bet that would increase our market share 25%.

WDW Vacationer (@WDWVacationer) reported@the_transit_guy Down that same stretch you also have the Apple Store and the Boylston entrance of the Prudential Center. It’s hardly an outlier let’s be serious. “Just a block for Newbury” means nothing. It’s not Newbury.

Steve Rover (@steverover) reportedMy 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 ?

Bradley (@VerdeSelvans) reportedJust wanted to share an update regarding this issue. I spoke with one of Apple's Senior Advisors in Indonesia, and they explained that my replacement request couldn't be approved because Indonesia doesn't have an Apple Store—only Apple Authorized Service Provider. The Apple Authorized Service Provider denies to replace my phone. They suggested that I visit an Apple Store in Singapore or Malaysia instead, as those are the closest countries to me with official Apple Stores, and they should be able to replace my phone there. Will I fly to Singapore or Malaysia just for a replacement? Definitely not. Plane tickets aren't cheap these days. I'll treat this as a lesson learned, and hopefully it can be a lesson for you guys too—especially if you live in Indonesia or another country without an Apple Store. Do I blame Apple? No. They actually offered to replace my phone from the very beginning, but I chose not to accept it. That said, I really wish Apple would open an official Apple Store here in Indonesia.

Eric Smith (@Eric_Smith08) reportedHere'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.

Josh (@jjpcodes) reported@thekitze shoot your mac with a gun every night at 10pm. tomorrow morning go to the apple store, buy a new mac, ssh into a server, bam done. more seriously what about MDM that locks down your device enough so that you can't change the relevant settings; and the only person with access to the MDM after initial setup is someone who is not you and not bribable by you?

Suraj Satheesh (@putther27) reported@techbharat apple does not cover these issues. my relative’s iPhone 14 had green line, i took it to apple store Mumbai bkc and they told it would cost around 22k display replacement no free repair. better sell it or exchange with new one. we got 23k exchange offer with iPhone 17 via flipkart

Acarria White (@AcarriaW) reported@Sweetly_Shar @DemzDeliver Incorrect. When in poverty, you don't go to an Apple store and start stealing ****. You go for food. I've been homeless for 3 years in my life, homeless. I never stole, never needed to and neither does a single other person in this country. Every single one of them can very easily get help when and if needed. Doing otherwise is a CHOICE, a terrible one too. No, they steal and break into places to steal the most expensive **** they can so they can sell it online for drug money, clothes to make themselves look rich, or to buy things they don't NEED because they feel it's owed to them. There's a sickness with those cultures and it stems in self entitlement. Also affordability...in NYC? LMAO hahahahaha oh that has been in the gutter since that man took power, even before him it was bad, but it's worse now. Also you don't know the term Bum. I work for everything I get...as a ******* MUTE. I put in all the work myself and work hard, unlike thieves and ****** people who think everything should be given to them.
