  @Apple hi Apple - worst service at Square one Apple Store, Mississauga. I spend 2 days for battery replacement and now I have to book appointment again because there is some other issue. So spending 3 days of my life and work for this ? @tim_cook @AppleSupport

  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

  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.

  back in 2023 I took it to a different Apple Store and my laptop was in worse condition (it was broken) but they repaired it so quickly. But this Apple Store was so terrible. all but one of the workers actually cared from the beginning when I spoke to them.

  @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.

  Her Apple Watch battery dropped to 78% after just one year. She wore it daily. She charged it overnight. She used it like every other Apple Watch owner she knew. Yet her battery had degraded faster in 12 months than her iPhone had in 3 years. She took it to the Genius Bar, expecting them to confirm it was defective. The technician ran every diagnostic. "Your watch isn't broken. It's just been running 24 hours a day doing things it doesn't need to do. There are 4 default settings on every Apple Watch that hammer the battery overnight. Apple knows. They've known since the first Series 1 launched. They don't change the defaults." She asked why. He gave the same answer Apple Store employees have learned to give silence. Then he opened the Watch app on her iPhone and walked her through everything. Here's what he showed her. 🧵

  @BeSovereign_1 @0xEthan No. iOS is inherently a problem as it require someone to KYC themself to publish on Apple store. You could compile a version yourself and side load it in theory.

  So it turns out my phone charging problem is actually the charger itself, which is also my laptop charger, and then confounding factor that my car charger is also a bit dodgy in its own way bahaha so… I begrudgingly have to go to the Apple Store and buy a new one.

  @thevirdas @ZeptoNow @zeptocares I buy apple products at Apple Store or Apple web site only. Never had a problem.

  I bought a set of AirPods Pro from Laptops Direct based in Huddersfield, England, 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, I discovered at the Apple Store that the serial number is tied to a date of purchase from 2024 in a Walmart in the United States. Avoid this retailer.

  I have at least one theory concerning that, and it all boils down to passing the buck. The companies insuring these lootboxes for Nvidia will likely insist upon installing some sort of odious security measures in the hardware. Much like the store model iPhones at the Apple store.

  @AppleSupport It’s been more than a week since I visited Apple Store to get my iPhone 17 PM fixed. Which has issue with its charging port. I was told to drop the device at genius bar for the repair. Since then I am continuously taking update from the Apple team and crazy part is.. 1/2

  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.

  @maye23musk32 @Elonmarsmusk12 My phone is not working well, I have made a list to follow-it is all Apple controlled things. Hopefully tomorrow. The Genius Bar at the Apple store was no help. I can’t transfer it to a new phone until I get it solved or I will simply have a new phone that only half works.
