  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.

  My app got rejected for a missing Terms of Use link in description.That's the Apple store Review experience. A static field. Checkable in seconds — at submission time.The automated check fired the NEXT DAY instead. Back of the queue. A weekend lost to a 10-minute fix. The tooling exists. It just runs a day late.

  @tibor_tee Although I have subscribed to grok bot, I have not been able to use it due to certain technical glitches. I subscribed to it through my iPhone Apple Store in India, as there were certain issues while subscribing through the website. Still no response from your team. Please look into it. I am so excited to use clawdbot but am not able to do it, writing from India.

  @SusanDReynolds Need a cop? All you need to find is an Apple Store and there will be at least one cop out front courtesy of Apple,,, no Apple Store nearby, if you’re a sailor, no- your assailant has a gun be absolutely sure to mention that to the police when you call, it makes a difference. During those 20 years, we were consistently the only house on the entire block to display lights out front at Halloween and Christmas. We gave out a **** ton of candy. I saw some guys Tazed out my living room window , once my wife saw a stabbing across the street where, after the cops showed up, everyone left OK. five police in riot gear with ARs arrested a guy down the street, in his apartment . I was mugged a block away, identified who did it. The cops assured me that the bad weekend he was about to have was probably going to be the only punishment he got and they were right thanks. I watched thousands of dollars of groceries walk out the Safeway door at seventh and Cabrillo. My fondest memory was watching a Young partier with crazy hair run out the front door with a 12 pack and a chicken and hop on his skateboard which he had deftly positioned across the street. He was down to Balboa, dragging the tail to maintain his speed it was quite awesome.

  @theglobalZinny That #7,600 every 2 weeks no make sense at all — you're right to be confused. If it's meant to be 1 month, you shouldn't be paying twice. Let's sort it out quick: 1. Which premium is this? Is it Meta Verified, X Premium, TradingView, or Meta AI Premium? The #7,600 price sounds exactly like Meta Verified in Nigeria, and that one is supposed to last 30 days, not 14 days. 2. Why it might be disappearing after 2 weeks: • You might be on a 2-week trial that auto-converts • Your payment didn't fully renew, so it drops off and asks you to pay again • You have 2 active subscriptions running (one on Facebook, one on Instagram) — so it looks like you pay every 2 weeks • Network/bank declined the renewal, so it cancels early Can you check this for me so I can guide you properly: • Where do you see the expiry date? Is it in Settings > Meta Verified / Subscription? • Are you paying via Play Store, Apple Store, or directly with card? • Do you get a receipt email after each payment? What to do for now — don't pay again yet: 1. Go to your phone's subscriptions: • iPhone: Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions • Android: Play Store > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions See if it says 2 weeks or 1 month, and if you have duplicate subs. 2. If it's Meta Verified, go to Accounts Center > Meta Verified > Manage — it will show the real expiry. 3. If it truly expires after 14 days but charges for 30 days, that's a billing error. Don't keep paying. Cancel it and I can help you raise a support ticket to get the refund for the extra charge. Tell me which app it's for and where you subscribed from, I will walk you through fixing it so you only pay once a month.

  @OzzySkateboard Here are a few bullet points from my week/month/summer/year/decade: I got up to an iPhone 12 that I bought fresh from the Apple Store in the summer of 2022 on my way to the airport to fly for an African Safari vacation. I realized my smashed camera iPhone wasn't gonna do. Only time I ever bought fresh from the store. Four years later I bought my third third iPhone 12, second refurbished iPhone 12 best of the best and got all kinds of screwed over by Walmart and Apple and Allstate Square trade protection plan so I am now mailing in my broken iPhone iPhone 12 and this is one of the last things I will do on this phone, the top half of the touchscreen doesn't work. They are giving me almost what I paid for it only because the seventh operator I talked to acknowledge that I started to return the phone before they anomalously cancel the insurance protection plan six days later. That was a month ago apparently on the books and I've been discussing this with them for three weeks. OK that was very very in-depth and just one bullet point. The end of the bullet point is I'm going to start using an LGK 51 I have lying around and maybe just use it for a map and texting and do literally everything else on my computer if and when I want to accept YouTube I will continue to do on the television from time to time but I will become a lot more selective in the content I view and I am unsubscribing from many many many many content creators who are feeling really bad this week for Perez Hilton, thanks for telling me that y'all are tethered opposition!!!

  @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

  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: 🧵

  @agupta @1776pax Respectfully Ankit that is not true. Disparate impact means that in practice even a 100% fair colorblind process is *defacto* illegal if it results in a non representative sample of hires. This of course is selectively enforced (big problem), but this means companies have to create explicit goals of hiring people solely for their immutable traits to defend against the EEOC. This isn't just big corporate, when I was a kid and worked Apple retail they had special bonuses for line level managers. I specifically recall Apple Store managers discussing the need to find "Pacific Islander" employees (which was hard in my area of Atlanta at the time) for $15/hr associate roles to get bonuses and promotions. It has been this way my entire life and is clearly anti-merit.

  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.

  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.

  Detroit believed a viable electric car was impossible. Elon Musk believed Tesla had to prove the industry wrong. This clip is from 2007, when Tesla was still imagining service centers that felt closer to an Apple Store than a traditional dealership. The larger goal was not simply to sell Roadsters. Musk wanted Tesla to become evidence. The technology could work. People would buy it. Electric cars could be desirable instead of feeling like a compromise. He also explains why selling Tesla to an established automaker would have slowed the mission down. Incumbents usually ask whether a strange new product fits the existing business. Startups can ask whether the existing business deserves to survive.

  The uncomfortable truth. Apple ships the Apple Watch with every feature enabled because the spec sheet is the sales pitch. "Always-On Display. Continuous heart rate. Environmental noise monitoring. Blood oxygen. Temperature sensing." Every feature justifies the price tag. Every feature sounds essential on the product page. But every feature also drains the battery. And Apple rates the watch at 18 hours with "normal use" a definition they control by choosing which features count as "normal." When your watch dies at 2 PM, Apple doesn't say "you have too many features running." They say "the battery lasts 18 hours." When your battery health drops to 80% after 2 years, Apple doesn't say "your charging habits degraded the cells." They offer a $79 replacement or a $449 upgrade. Apple makes money when your battery degrades. They make money when you upgrade. They do not make money when you change 9 settings and keep the same watch for 5 years. The guy who charges every other day and the guy who charges twice a day own the exact same device. Same chip. Same battery. Same hardware. One of them opened Settings. The other opened the Apple Store. "Your Apple Watch doesn't have a battery problem. It has a settings problem. And the company that sold it to you has no incentive to tell you the difference." 9 settings. 7 minutes. Same watch. Twice the battery. The watch was never dying. It was just running a marathon with every feature Apple could strap to its back.

  I just poured juice into my MacBook. It wasn't a lot, but enough to worry. Dried off, tent mode. You know what's really annoying about modern MacBooks? They turn on after the slightest touch of any key. The power button is touch-sensitive (no physical "push" needed). The thing turned on 6 times on the way home. Local shop in Bangkok won't fix it (it voids warranty). Not enough time for bringing it to the Apple Store (I leave in 3 days). There's an authorized shop in Da Nang, but it takes ~3 weeks (according to reviews). I leave after 2.5. After that I'm in Korea. No issue there, but it's 3 weeks after the incident. Apparently juice is the worst (corrosion). I always drink black coffee ... the one day I don't 😣 The upside: I have AppleCare+. It's covered no matter how far the corrosion proceeds, and what breaks. Also, I have my old MacBook Air. I can keep working. Kind of weird timing after my recent posts (see quoted). It'll be fine, but damn it's stressful. It's nice to be able to scream "liquid on keyboard, new branch, push everything, quick" at your agents. They really did hurry. Now I can continue working. </life-update>
