  I need more sunshine (@chicagoaudra) reported 3 minutes ago

  Anyone else having issues with newer @apple phones? I have an @apple iPhone 17pro that I’ve had problems with since I bought it through @ATT around Christmas. It has not worked consistently, with any of my Bluetooth devices, and is getting worse over time. Even my watch (series 11) is almost never connected and runs out of batteries really quickly now because it is constantly trying to connect and reconnect to the phone. Spent hours at the Apple Store a while back where they made me reset my phone and I couldn’t restore from the backup at all. I did that and the problem did not resolve. It mostly finds the devices but won’t connect or won’t stay connected or even paired. All of my devices work on my husband’s phone just fine (same phone). I have not been able to use any of my devices at all in over a week now, yet my phone somehow “passes” their diagnostics, despite not working at all in practical reality. It failed one test in the Apple Store but then passed when they redid it, so of course, they went with the pass. 🙄 Because of the “passing” the diagnostics, they refuse to replace the phone and won’t do anything about it. They just tell me it has to be a software issue and “the engineering team is working on it.” For months now. None of this happened with my iPhone 15pro and it doesn’t work with other phones either. How is this acceptable? They just took my money and I am SOL when it doesn’t work? No offer of a different device, a refund etc, no attempt to solve my issue. Just sucks to be me? Anyone have ideas of what I can try next? I have spent way too much time on this, but I would like a phone of my own that works. Also, if you are thinking of the Apple iPhone 17 pro, skip it. I feel like I’ve been ripped off and I don’t feel like they should be able to just take my money and leave me with this lemon of a product. Is there a lemon law for phones? Tired of this. I’m so sorry I got rid of my 15.

  @ATT Your tech support told me that I should go to the Apple Store because he could not fix my issue. Apple had full access to see my settings. It’s an @ATT problem. It’s not an Apple issue.

  @UTDAhmard @Suzzy0310 I disagree, my 16 pro max last me for a whole day, also my second phone, 15 pro battery is excellent too, don’t buy gadget from computer village, enter the Apple Store in ikeja and get your gadgets you’ll have zero issue, 90% of phones in computer village are refurbished

  The 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.

  @BunheadHQ They just closed the BAB that looks like this in my mall and replaced it with a shoe store, moved the build a bear down the lot into an ugly apple store esque building. So ugly.

  this became very apparent when i was working at the Apple Store genius bar and i hate how all the companies take advantage of making it customers’ problem that they didn’t read while also doing everything in their power to make everybody bad at reading

  A man's iPhone battery was dying by 2 PM every day. But his Battery Health was at 99%. He constantly closed background apps. Turned down his brightness. Lived on Low Power Mode. The battery still melted like ice in the sun. He went to the Apple Store, ready to pay $89 for a battery replacement. The Genius Bar employee held up a hand: "Keep your money. Let me show you something." She opened Settings → Privacy & Security and sighed. "There are silent 'vampire' features bleeding your battery dry. Apple turns almost all of them on by default. Nobody tells you they exist. Let's fix it." Here's what she showed him in the next 8 minutes. 🧵

  ok so I just saw the most unhinged tech setup and I need to talk about it someone stacked like 50+ Mac Minis on a shelf. yellow shelf. looks like a construction site met an Apple Store. and honestly?? this is lowkey genius and I'm mad nobody told me sooner because here's the ***** secret the M-series Mac Mini might be the best value compute unit on the market right now. per watt, per dollar, per cubic inch of space. it destroys traditional server hardware in efficiency. it just doesn't LOOK like serious infrastructure so people dismiss it but some guy in a random office somewhere said you know what, I don't need a $400k rack from Dell. I need 60 of these bad boys, some ethernet, and a dream. and now he has a build/test pipeline that probably runs faster than your company's entire cloud setup no loud fans. no special power requirements. no "enterprise support contract" where someone charges you $800 to restart a service. just apples. wall to wall apples. the chair sitting lonely in the corner of the shot is sending me. someone WORKS there. they just sit next to the apple army every day and think nothing of it we are not the same #ai #macmini #macmini4

  The biggest problem with Unicorn is that they keep fake apple devices. All the apple devices you buy from them will have a super fast decline in battery health. I got the same device from Apple Store delhi and unicorn and the unicorn one I had to sell off within 6 months

  @dhans4all @ravikchandar @Vijaylocopilot Better take it to the Apple Store, they might change it free of charge. Recently I had done it for an iPhone 13(particular batch had quality issues with battery)

  Has the review speed of the Apple Store slowed down again? The submitted update has been pending for three days and still hasn't started the review.
