  @yuusultultultu I would suggest taking the phone to your local Apple Store, and have them check the charging port for physical issues. It is possible the charging port is damaged or defective. If you have Apple’s protection plan, the in-store service is free too!

  Hello there. Unfortunately, if you’re seeing the “invalid subscription” error when attempting to redeem a promotional trial, this means that you currently have an active Nitro Basic, Classic or Server Boosting subscription through the Apple Store or Google Play. Because mobile subscriptions are managed through third parties and separate billing systems, you won’t be able to redeem a promotional trial while they are active. You will need to cancel and wait for your mobile subscription to end completely before you can activate your trial. If your subscription’s end date is after the redemption deadline for the promotion, you won’t be able to redeem the trial code or link, but can gift it to an eligible friend instead. I'm so sorry for any confusion or disappointment here. We are always adding new promotional offers, so please keep an eye out for those in the future.

  @JoaoLyraAraujo @markgurman I installed macOS Tahoe then a couple weeks later took my computer to the Apple store and had them re-install Sequoia. The worse software they’ve ever released. They made so many unnecessary changes, it slowed down my working speed and made things more difficult.

  Remove my cellphone from the case because I was using the portable charger and it ******* fell down. Still not the festival since I had to go to the Apple Store. Super wonderful ppl and I needed a phone asap since I’m alone. Now I have a 17 PM, an expense I didn’t think of

  Companies like Apple that make flagship phones and Computers will almost never include economically stunted countries like ours (Nigeria) in their marketing There's a reason why Nigeria has no actual Apple store Your opinion on making cheaper products for the poorer while still maintaining top quality ones for the richer consumers...it makes sense for companies like Tecno and infinix who operate here This is their market base...they are what we can afford But if apple sends down 1million flagship iPhones at the store price of $899...they will not sell it in a year

  @Kuro17951 @rachael18536941 @PeriklesGREAT They would need to visit a specialist in neo-vaginas. Perhaps whoever created it. You can't take a Samsung into an Apple Store and expect them to fix it.

  @gailalfaratx Is that Tim Cook who kept grok down the bottom of the apps in the Apple Store where people could not find it, even though it was the most popular app? Tim Cook is lucky Elon didn’t punch him. Elon is a sweetheart :) I don’t know if I would be so merciful towards Tim lol

  Updated my iPhone 14 yesterday and it went black. Today Apple Store said the display must be replaced, and I have to pay for it. If this issue was caused by the update, why should I bear the cost? Customers shouldn’t have to pay for problems caused by Apple’s software. @Apple

  @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.

  @politigaymer I used to work at the Apple Store Genius Bar and they would definitely do that under extenuating circumstances (or when they couldn’t figure out the issue). But they would most certainly let you know if they did because it would improve your perception of the brand and service.

  @SirLeonP The whole point of business is to create jobs, there's no point being an apple store in a run down town. Economy is the movement of money. You hire employees to scale your business not to make a profit on them

  Hate going to places like the Apple Store to pay money to be told I’m doing everything wrong. Where I stand, where I sit, how I sign in to my phone. No thanks. This is why I didn’t want to come and have had a smashed phone for months.

  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 wish I was joking… After I went to get my card today, my phone froze and wouldn’t turn back on. I had to go into the Apple Store, where they told me the battery had broken, and the phone was internally damaged. Guess who just had to buy a phone they couldn’t afford! :,)

  I’m in Turkey and I’ve been buying from the Apple Store for years without any delivery issues. I placed an order on May 1st. UPS later claimed my address was incomplete. The problem is: my Apple account address is fully detailed, and previous Apple orders were successfully delivered to the exact same address. I called Apple Support and was told they would handle it. Shortly after, I received emails telling me to contact UPS myself. As a customer, my responsibility is to place the order and pay for it — which I already did. Why am I expected to manage Apple’s shipping operation? Today I called Apple Support again, and during the conversation the call was either disconnected or ended by the representative. This is not the “premium customer experience” Apple promotes. Right now, it feels like the customer is simply being left in the middle of the problem. @Apple @AppleSupport
