Greg - Israelite in Exile (surviving the Galut) (@anexiledjew) reportedI bought a set of AirPods Pro from Laptops Direct about a year ago. I have a problem with the left AirPod charging, and I went to an Apple Store to have them look at it today. Astonishingly, the serial number is tied to a date of purchase from 2024 in a Walmart in the United States. Avoid this retailer.

Pooja (@poojaofficial5) reportedMy friend's iPhone 13 suddenly started malfunctioning At first, she thought the battery was simply draining too fast. But after a few days, it became clear that the problem was much more serious. The battery had started swelling, and the phone's body was beginning to bulge from the inside. The biggest surprise ? "The phone was completely out of warranty." No AppleCare. No extended coverage. Both of us assumed that replacing the battery would cost thousands of rupees. But what happened at the Apple Store in DLF Mall, Noida completely surprised us. The staff inspected the device and explained that a swollen battery is considered a safety hazard. A little later, they informed us that the battery would be replaced FREE of charge. We thought it might be some special discount or adjustment, but when the bill arrived, it showed "₹0.00" At a time when many companies shift the entire cost to customers once the warranty expires, receiving a free battery replacement for an out of warranty phone was genuinely unexpected. This experience taught us an important lesson If your phone's battery is swelling, the screen is lifting, or the body of the phone is starting to separate, don't ignore it. It's not just a device issue it can also be a serious safety risk. Sometimes, a company's true reputation isn't built through advertisements, but through the way it helps customers when they face unexpected problems.

KitsuneYuki ❄️🔥🦊 (@GinKitsune4) reported@MtSilvr @KirscheVerstahl I love the apple store. One day, you walk in and say you want an orange. You like oranges better. The store owner says, "everyone must want oranges," and starts selling oranges. Now, no one shows up to the apple store, and it goes out of business. This is the problem.

maximum (@maximumdegen) reportedYES! Mac Mini at $599 is killing AI subscriptions Developers are massively ditching Claude Code, ChatGPT Pro, and Cursor — switching to local models running on Mac Mini M4. One Reddit post ("spent $170 in 10 days on Claude Code") triggered a wave: someone replied "bought a Mac Mini — haven't paid Anthropic since", and that same week the mini-computers disappeared from Apple Store shelves. Why it works:The M4 chip with unified memory (120 GB/s) runs large models more efficiently than a $1,500 Windows PC with a dedicated GPU. Since January 2026, Ollama supports the Anthropic API format — Claude Code connects to a local server with a single environment variable. Cost per request: $0. The math is simple:A heavy developer spends ~$459/month on AI subscriptions = $5,500+ per year. The Mac Mini pays for itself in under 3 months, after that — $3 a month in electricity. Marcus Chen took it furthest — he built a rack of 30 Mac Minis as his personal AI farm. Those who own the infrastructure today will have years of advantage tomorrow.

Jon Sherrard (@jshez) reportedContrast the quote my experience: An Employer once had a supply issue with equipment supplier. Opened a new bank account that allowed Apple Pay digital cards over email. Created me a card. Sent it over. Transferred cash onto it, apologised profusely and asked if could go to Apple Store (during work hours so fine with me) Nice to know when you’re working with serious people.

Dack (@DackHasker) reportedlike sure I'm a nutjob or whatever, but "sir for $75 you can be taking it into the apple store, and we can be pleased to address your issue" just die lol. I don't care. waste my time, waste my life sure, but really? $75 just for me to bring it to you? How about $75,000 and you can go die.

Jack (@jackcoder0) reportedHer Apple Watch battery dropped to 78% after just one year. She wore it daily. She charged it overnight. She used it like every other Apple Watch owner she knew. Yet her battery had degraded faster in 12 months than her iPhone had in 3 years. She took it to the Genius Bar, expecting them to confirm it was defective. The technician ran every diagnostic. "Your watch isn't broken. It's just been running 24 hours a day doing things it doesn't need to do. There are 4 default settings on every Apple Watch that hammer the battery overnight. Apple knows. They've known since the first Series 1 launched. They don't change the defaults." She asked why. He gave the same answer Apple Store employees have learned to give silence. Then he opened the Watch app on her iPhone and walked her through everything. Here's what he showed her. 🧵

Rybear1977 (@Tourettes97) reported@TimSweeneyEpic You have no ******* room to speak on this. You had fortnite on the Apple store and coerced your players into paying you directly so you can avoid giving Apple a cut. Then had a whole animation rendered and ready before hand when you got in trouble with Apple. Shut. The. ****. Up

Chris M. Walker (@cmwalker) reportedThis meme is supposed to be motivational… it’s actually bullshit. First of all it implies that 50% of people keep working at what they want to achieve. 1% is more like it. The other problem is that bro on the bottom gives up right before he succeeds. Thats optimistic too. Most people swing the axe one time and see it didn’t even break an inch off the wall and give up. People just do not want to do the volume that’s needed to succeed at anything. They think they want the result. They think they are willing to do the work. What they really want is the Instagram post. They want to appear to succeed. They want everything but doing what it takes. The reason I’m thinking about this today is that I just went through 236 revisions for the script of 1 video on a YouTube channel that hasn’t even launched yet. That’s after one channel took me 10 years to get to 100k subscribers. And despite all that boring tedious work swapping a single word for another… …I still don’t feel like it’s good enough and just had a thought on how I can make it better and am going to start over from zero. Most people give up when their first 30 second reel doesn’t make them Mr. Beast. Kobe Bryant used to take 800 to 1,000 made jumpshots a day in the offseason. Not taken. Made. He’d be in the gym at 4am doing the same boring movement thousands of times while the rest of the league slept. The 81 point games were built on ten thousand swings nobody saw. Steve Jobs scrapped the entire design of the first Apple Store when it was nearly finished, months of work, because he decided it was organized around products instead of around what people wanted to do. He started over. The redo became the most profitable retail on earth per square foot. Neither of them was a few inches from the diamonds getting lucky. They swung the axe an absurd number of times, hated a lot of the swings, and kept going anyway. So if you actually want to succeed at something, get ready to be bored. For a long time. Doing the same unglamorous reps long after it stopped being exciting and long before it started paying. Or, if you just want to look successful, take a photo of yourself, drop it into ChatGPT, and tell it to put you in front of a private jet. It’s gotten pretty good at that. Think Big

Dervish Bovine ∰ Village Remarkable (@chan_dolan) reported@eko32eko7 @DrClownPhD @9mmsmg That's exactly what happened to me, there was an issue with my Apple ID and no amount of support tickets or going into an Apple store got it fixed. I finally got so frustrated that I switched to Android. At first I didn't like it but now I can't imagine going back.

Prime AI (@primemans) reportedThe uncomfortable truth: Apple's business model rewards storage anxiety. The more often customers see "Storage Almost Full," the more likely they are to: 1. Pay for iCloud subscriptions 2. Upgrade to higher-storage models 3. Buy a new iPhone entirely Every default setting on a new iPhone trends in the direction of consuming more storage, not less. The 7 fixes above take 10 minutes total. They cost nothing. They will recover an average of 40-60 GB on most iPhones over 12 months old. The Apple Store employee said one more thing before he left: "We see this every day. Most people don't even check Settings → General → iPhone Storage before they walk in. They just assume the phone is too small for them. It almost never is." RT this so more iPhone users stop spending $1,000 on a storage problem that could be solved with 7 toggles.

Which was obviously coded talk about moving something
