  it’s over now but for Two Years they were having Apple Store lock in nights playing games on the iMacs collecting private paychecks from one of the worlds biggest companies and the justification was that a basic lock between two empty rooms was broken. the mall had security

  It's interesting how Apple Store changed servicing - I can now use the Mac as my part is being shipped. Whoever did this (@tim_cook is it you? - thank you!) Next step: let people just run self-service, and when I come over, perhaps just scan some magic code of my screen and that's it to verify it's the same machine. And the step after next would be to have Apple folks inspect the laptop and suggest fixes under AppleCare. e.g.: you have keyboard marks on LCD - we'll fix it for you. Improvement after this one: just book appointments for fixes and do them just-in-time, almost like doctor visits. So I bring my Mac in 2:54pm, then the service starts at 3pm, and on 3:45pm or so I get a Mac with new battery etc. because all parts were already in that store waiting for me. No need of 4 day stay for a flu. I don't get why there's like 3-7 day wait time for a fix anything. Bettery is like a 10-30min job. Is it because people from half of California send computers to handful of stores? Can't it all be offloaded by having people further away from Apple Store mail computer via Fedex/UPS? Those boxes should go to some big fix center where 50 people can be fixing 50 Macs per hr. It could be perhaps 2-3 days to get computer back, so it'd be better/faster for folks further away. And it'd be amazing experience for folks close to stores.

  @nafoviking Glad you like it, I worked in an apple store until earlier this year and those things were SUCH SLOW SELLERS. Absolutely nothing wrong with them, except the charging port sensor was to sensitive to humidity. Just a perfectly OK iPhone.

  Big props to me for successfully ordering a USB-C cable from the Apple Store website after 4 days of unsuccessfully attempting to do so. I kept sitting down to order the cable, got distracted and then at some point the following day remembered I didn't finish the order.

  @Ro_Exotic @SmallEyez @markgurman I’ve only used the Apple care with the IUP once, and the Apple Store tried dicking me around by saying damage wasn’t covered. Demanded ~$400 to fix. I raised hell until they realized policy literally says $99 deductible.

  @BUNN I got a cup of coffee tonight at a Big Apple Store which had two BUNN Touch Screen Coffee Machines. One would think a company as big as @BUNN that is focused on coffee would know how to spell ColOmbian coffee (Not ColUmbian). Hopefully it is something you can fix remotely

  Anyone in Gaborone who specialises in Apple software issues? My Apple Watch got stuck in a boot loop after a software update & the Apple Store at The Fields Mall doesn’t seem to know how to fix it. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

  @Coinvo Could it be the cause of it taken down by Apple Store?

  I’d still be using my iPhone 13 if it didn’t randomly go off in 2024. Apple Store couldn’t fix what those Nigerian phone guys fixed in 10 minutes😭 sadly, I had already bought another phone and had to give my gorgeous pink 13 away😩

  His Apple Watch battery health was 81% after wearing it for only 10 months. He charged it on his nightstand every night. Left it on the charger until morning. Used Always-On Display all day. Kept cellular turned on even when his iPhone was in his pocket. Ran GPS workouts 5 times a week without closing the session properly. He did everything most Apple Watch owners do. That was the problem. His friend, a former Apple Store technician, looked at his Battery Health screen and said one sentence: "You've been draining this thing twice as fast as it should drain. Apple built 2 features into watchOS that slow the damage to almost zero and you've never turned either one on." She toggled 2 settings. Changed one charging habit. Turned off one feature he didn't know was running. 4 months later his battery health hasn't dropped a single percent. It's been sitting at 81% since. Here's everything she changed 🧵

  @Smear_Sys @SThrober The issue is the length of the game. 2 hours for a game is a very low bar to hit. Even youtuber slop games like banban figured out how to hit the time limit. If your game is essentially a mobile game like flappy bird steam isn't the place for it, put it on apple store

  Most customer service conversations were never actually about the problem. A surprising number happen for one reason. People are lonely. We have all felt the edge of this. A stretch of days without real connection… And suddenly the cashier, the barista, the receptionist, the person on the help line… Feel strangely important. In 2020, a grocery run became the highlight of the week. A few words with a stranger landed like a feast. We were not shopping. We were starving for contact. Now carry that same hunger into ordinary life. The answer is on Google. The fix takes thirty seconds. The issue is small enough to solve alone. And still… We call. We wait on hold. We drive there in person. Because the problem was never really the problem. The contact was. I saw this clearly standing in an Apple store one afternoon. A man frustrated that his seven-year-old phone was not as loud as it used to be. Around him… A dozen more carrying problems just as small. Tiny inconveniences held up like emergencies. Each one quietly purchasing a few minutes near another human being. Those were not technology problems. They were connection problems. People reaching for human contact… Using the only doorway that felt socially acceptable. A broken phone gives us permission to be cared for. Loneliness does not. And this is what happens when a need goes unmet for too long. It starts disguising itself. Not manipulation. Not selfishness. Just an unmet human need… Looking for the nearest warm signal the only way it knows how. And it usually lands on whoever is paid to stay patient. Service workers absorb this all day. Hours of other people's quiet loneliness… Arriving disguised as complaints they cannot actually solve. Because the real ache was never on the work order. Which means much of what we call customer service… Is not actually a customer service problem. It is loneliness… Quietly rerouted through the one interaction people could justify having. So the real fix was never better support. Or shorter wait times. Or more efficient systems. It is connection… That does not have to be manufactured. Because when people feel genuinely seen in everyday life… A thousand invented problems quietly disappear. Along with the weight they place on everyone paid to carry them.
