  @Sassafrass_84 @PigWar With Android some versions, you can rollback if need be, with Apple, they own everything on it, apps, etc. If Iphone crashes, you csn't roll bsck to previous version, you either wait for a software update, fix, or Apple Store.

  YES! 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.

  I 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.

  @ZunairaAi It sounds frustrating to deal with persistent storage issues despite taking all the right steps. I hope the Apple store was able to help find a solution.

  A man noticed his iPhone kept showing “Storage Almost Full,” even though he barely had any photos. He deleted apps. Cleared messages. Removed downloads. But the warning kept coming back every couple of weeks. At one point, he was ready to walk into the Apple Store and buy a new iPhone. A Genius Bar employee stopped him and said: “Before you spend a thousand dollars, let me show you something.” She opened: Settings → General → iPhone Storage Then she shook her head and said: “There are 7 hidden things quietly eating your storage. They come turned on by default, and most people never notice them.” In the next few minutes, she showed him things like cached data, system files, old message attachments, background app storage, and other hidden space users don’t usually check. Within 8 minutes, everything became clear: The phone wasn’t the problem. The hidden storage usage was. And just like that… he didn’t need a new iPhone anymore.

  @Aziii_6890 @AppleSupport @Apple Same problem with mine. Can't access the Apple store and there's no way to update and download apps. Because and without the Apple account (ID) the iPhone is useless!

  Just spent nearly 5 hours on the phone with Apple support today and yesterday. As a customer since 2001, this is the worst experience I’ve ever had with them.Ordered a loaded 16" MacBook Pro + Magic Mouse + AirPods Pro, twice on their website. Both orders were cancelled with zero explanation.First order: Apple Pay/Apple Card issues. Reps kept saying “it’s your bank” even though Barclays confirmed no payment request ever came through. Spent hours getting bounced between pre-sales, post-sales, and tech support. Order status links broken, phone number problems, account linking issues. Second order made the next day after double-checking everything and it was also cancelled overnight.When I called back today, I was told they “can’t tell me why” it was cancelled and to “just keep placing the order until it works.” Asked for a supervisor and a rude rep hung up on me while I was waiting.Their only suggestions: call pre-sales again or go to an Apple Store (not an option for me).This is unacceptable. Long-time loyal customers deserve better than this runaround with no answers. Apple used to be top tier. What happened? #Apple #AppleSupport #BadCustomerService

  His iPhone battery health dropped to 78% after just 1 months of use. He took it to the Apple Store expecting a free battery replacement under warranty. The Genius Bar technician ran every diagnostic. The battery passed every test. The phone wasn't defective. Then she said something he wasn't expecting: "This battery isn't broken. It's been worn down. There are 8 default settings on your iPhone right now that are aging the battery faster than they should and they're all on by default. Apple ships every iPhone with them enabled. Most customers come in here thinking the battery is bad. It's not. The settings are." He asked the obvious question: "Why doesn't Apple turn them off by default?" She didn't answer. She just opened Settings and started walking him through them. Here's everything she showed him in the next 10 minutes. 🧵
