  @OpeyemiDrift @Apple for now we’d be okay with an authorized Apple Store and service centre. the discrimination and backyard servicing is terrible out here

  I had to get some more alerts before I could reply to you since I can only use the bottom half of my touchscreen. Problems I never thought of in the year 2005! I do have to give a shout out to the Apple Store. They helped me when I was totally locked out of my account even though I bought my phone from a third-party and walked in with a cracked screen I honestly thought they were gonna be the worst and turned me away and the guy spent like an hour and a half with me

  @AlgoSnafu the cord on the first is definitely wrong in a few ways. I gave the details in another reply. There is a bigger issue with the table, tho. And you nailed the scrape on the panel, but there is a crazier issue there, too. And alignments - so important in the apple store.

  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.

  The Apple Store is a joke. Went in last week to replace my iPhone battery. They had to order the part. Waited ~10 days, then got told: “Come in within 2 days or we might give the battery to someone else.” Made an appointment for today. Waited, then the rep says they can’t do the repair because “the system we use to track repairs is down.” Me: “You have the part. You have my phone. But you can’t install it because the computer is down?” Poor guy — not his fault. But the geniuses running the Apple Store aren’t quite as smart as they like to pretend. This is NOT the future.

  @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

  Who do really rich people go to for their tech issues? Like, say I'm a billionaire, and I have a problem with my Photos application. Surely I just don't go to the Apple Store...? Do I?

  @thekitze shoot your mac with a gun every night at 10pm. tomorrow morning go to the apple store, buy a new mac, ssh into a server, bam done. more seriously what about MDM that locks down your device enough so that you can't change the relevant settings; and the only person with access to the MDM after initial setup is someone who is not you and not bribable by you?

  @VicVijayakumar You still have to pay full price for the replacement until the broken iPhone is shipped back. I think it’s more economical to go to an Apple Store and pay $99 for a swap.
