  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.

  @jolissaxo_ I cried bc after my dad died all I had were his voicemails. Went to the apple store bc I had an issue with my phone , the worker reset my phone without asking me. The way I bawled in that store! I would've kept my phone broken to never lose those. This one had me in my feelings!

  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.

  @SoldierSats Google play is being worked on, and Apple store is... Well, a tricky one. The kink is, these stores require devs to run there code so they take a 30% cut of all trxns. My apologies for the download issue. Most phone, have a setting to allow third party/non store downloads. Its quite possible this setting is not enabled.

  @that_john_doe @aaronp613 Firstly these device are obsolete now, second the firmware that was unsigned was the newest one for the model not some old firmware Also iPhone's slow down and overheat when the battery is bad, change that battery in an Authorized Service or Apple Store and see performance go up

  @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.

  An AFP TV crew shot footage of an 8 year old Chinese boy named Zhou Zhiheng for a piece on Asia's youngest programmers. Round green frames. Red shirt. He sat in front of a MacBook Air at a glass desk inside a Shenzhen co-working space with iPhone XR posters mounted on the wall behind him. The voiceover said he had started out building games. The subtitle said his coding tutorial channel pulled 60,000 followers. The camera pushed in tight on his fingers across the keys. While the West holds panels about screen time for kids, China places an 8 year old in front of an unregistered code editor and rolls cameras for the international press. He was meant to be the friendly face of Asian tech literacy. He just left the sidebar open. Pause at 1:34. Skip past the C++ on the screen. Skip past the if statement the AFP voiceover was reading. Look at the left panel of the editor. The folder is labeled aspirin. The open file is jizhe.cpp. The folder tree below: 1-7, 1-7b, 10-1, 10-1.2, 10-2, 10-4, 10-6, 10-8, 11-2. ColdMath. $94,318 profit. 5,612 entries. Joined September 2025. Bio: Edge Compounds. Jizhe is the mandarin word for journalist. The file the AFP crew was rolling on was named after them. The boy had the open scanf reading a score variable. He had not typed it that morning. He had given the file its name the day the AFP request came through. The numbered folders were not chapters of a coding course. The numbering lined up with the Chinese journalism beat codes the press accreditation office issues to foreign correspondents. 1-7 is the technology beat. 10-1 is consumer electronics. 10-2 is mobile devices. 11-2 is venture capital. The folder tree was an index of which AFP and Reuters reporters covered what. The boy was not the developer. The boy was the camera trap. The agent on the MacBook Air was tracking which journalists filed filming permit requests at which Shenzhen co-working spaces three days ahead of the segments going to air. Every permit request was a position on the company being filmed. The agent traded the gap between shoot and broadcast. The crew rolled for forty minutes. The agent placed eleven positions during the shoot. Every position was on a company whose office the AFP team had stopped by that week. The comments turned into a detective board. One viewer dropped the AFP clip to 0.25x. Another translated jizhe out of the filename. A third commenter cross referenced the folder numbering against the Chinese State Council Information Office accreditation list and matched every code. Six months ago a 14 year old in Shenzhen pushed an AI agent to GitHub. Judges said no real world application. 3,100 forks later. The boy's father had been one of them. He had dropped the fork onto his son's MacBook the week the AFP request showed up in the family's WeChat. The 60,000 follower coding channel was not a coding channel. It was a feed tracking which co-working spaces were hosting which crews. The followers were operators running the same fork out of different cities. The iPhone XR posters behind him were not Apple Store decor. The shoot was happening inside a media briefing room foreign correspondents rent specifically to film this kind of segment. The agent already knew the room. The room was on the list. The AFP segment sits at 2.1 million views. The freeze frame of the folder tree cleared 4.6 million on the repost. The wallet is still compounding. The agent is still reading press accreditation requests. The unregistered editor is still open. The jizhe.cpp file is still on screen. They filmed him to prove a child could code. The child was the lens. The agent was running the shoot.

  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
