  I wonder how best to share my experience I fear if I did it real time for content It would be hours and hours and hours of me accomplishing minuscule things. Maybe I need time lapse videography for this. I would attach the photo that tells you how Apple won't let me rotate the settings screen or the Apple Store screen, but there's a really easy way that I could manage the selections of the menu in the top half of the screen using the accessibility voiceover feature and that just gives me like 10 steps to follow SMH, I am pretty sure I will try and do it through the laptop and sign in through the cloud and then go to subscriptions because it sounds easier than the 10 steps that I wish I could attach in a photo but then I can't hit the button to finish the attachment because you have the top half of the phone touchscreen won't work and.... I need to check how many days Walmart is giving me before I have to return this device because I just wanna make sure I could do everything in the cloud that needs to be done or that I do everything on the device that I'm supposed to before I send it backs.... I am completely accepting advice from everyone and anyone who has 100% dissociated from Apple, not just switched providers but made sure that they did not leave any data in the cloud behind

  Telegram will still come back to the Apple Store. This happened around 2018 and is definitely a glitch. People will create unnecessary agendas from it right now.

  If this changes how you use the Apple Store or saves you $229 with an education discount you didn't know existed one ask: Repost the first post so the next person buying a MacBook at full price sees the price match, the trade-in, the free workshops, and the discount they qualify for. Follow [ @jackcoder0 ] I break down the hidden services, retail secrets, and money-saving strategies that companies bank on you not asking about. Next thread: the AppleCare+ honest math when it saves you $300 and when it wastes $269. The decision framework every Apple buyer needs before checkout.

  @13_T_C It uses the xpub so we shouldn’t have any problems. But who knows really. Make sure you use the right one and not a scam. A guy last year lost 6 Bitcoin because he downloaded a fake sparrow app from the Apple Store. They have no app.

  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.

  Apple Is Testing AI Powered 'Live Notes' to Streamline Genius Bar Appointments. Apple is testing a new artificial intelligence feature called Live Notes, designed to make Genius Bar appointments more efficient for both customers and Apple Store employees. Instead of a Genius Bar employee manually writing down everything discussed during a repair appointment, Live Notes uses AI to listen to the conversation and generate a transcript in real time. The feature only works if both the customer and the employee give their consent, making it an opt-in system rather than something that's enabled automatically. Once the conversation is finished, the AI generated transcript is saved directly to the employee's iPad and becomes part of the repair record. This creates a detailed log of what was discussed, including the customer's description of the issue, troubleshooting steps, recommendations, and any repair decisions made during the appointment. The biggest advantage is that employees can spend more time interacting with customers instead of constantly typing or taking handwritten notes. Rather than dividing their attention between the customer and their iPad, they can focus on diagnosing the problem, answering questions, and explaining repair options while the AI handles the documentation in the background. For customers, this could also lead to more accurate repair records. Important details are less likely to be forgotten or recorded incorrectly, which can help if a customer returns for a follow-up visit or if another Apple technician needs to continue the repair later. Having a complete transcript ensures everyone has access to the same information. The feature also has the potential to improve efficiency across Apple's retail stores. By automating notetaking, Genius Bar appointments may move faster, employees could handle more customers throughout the day, and the quality of documentation could become more consistent across different locations. Although Apple is currently testing Live Notes in only some stores, it reflects the company's broader strategy of integrating AI into everyday services. Rather than using AI only for consumer-facing features, Apple is also exploring ways it can streamline internal workflows and improve the overall customer experience. If the trial proves successful, Live Notes could eventually become a standard feature at Genius Bars worldwide.

  CORRECTION: There is a written review on the Apple Store, and it is, of course, negative. (Tried to fix the post but Elon did something screwy.) #arpx #arnews #snap

  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.

  @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!!

  @fasset Has your app been removed from Apple Store? I deleted my app to reinstall to fix some issue and can’t find it on the store anymore. Now I’m locked out of my account and funds.
