  @fasset Has your app been removed from Apple Store? I deleted my app to reinstall to fix some issue and can’t find it on the store anymore. Now I’m locked out of my account and funds.

  i made 3 apps published on apple store last month, and only 1 of them made money, around 430$, cuz the app was for solving a problem i was dealing with. the name is PingRev, it gives the new order alert on ios from woocommerce stores with cha-ching sound like shopify, and also showing analytics for all my site combined the other two apps: one app i modify from akinator, the other app i modify from slapmac: Fame Oracle and Baby Tap still havent made any dough yet

  @DisneyScoopGuy Honestly the hourly call center support dude (or dudette) doesn’t know **** all. Ask for a higher tier of support and that you’re willing to wait for a call back or go through email if need be. Also a good time to visit an Apple Store as someone there will have incentive to fix it for you and not just get you off the phone.

  A guy walked into an Apple Store to buy a MacBook Air. He walked out having spent $2,100 on a $999 laptop. He thought he made smart choices the whole time. His brother in law, who worked Apple retail for 9 years, watched the receipt and just shook his head. In the parking lot he said: "You didn't buy a laptop today. You bought seven upsells wrapped around a laptop. The storage tier. The AppleCare pitch. The trade in number. The 'while you're here' accessories. None of it is random. Every rep is trained to hit those seven moments in that order." He broke down 9 tricks Apple retail uses and the counter move for each one. Two months later the brother bought his own MacBook using the playbook. Same store. Same model. $760 less. Here's everything he said.

  @JMW_BOYZ The problem is that in places like here we have voices and the absolute fraction of us that comment seem to think in one certain way. I love going to CeX and buying bags full of DvD's for a buck a pop. I picked up a PS1/PS3/XboxOG and have a mountain of old games that I used to play or want to play for mere fraction of the price. But those are brick and mortar with things like rent/employees/insurance/utilities. Massive overhead. The real truth is that it's pretty clear CeX gets the majority of their stuff for nothing or close to it, with a lot of 'new' stuff being overstock/damage from high street retail. Physical media has been dying for ages, and I get it. I have a massive amount in steam. When I had lost everything I physically owned it was so nice to login to steam, and still retain everything. The larger issue is that Valve is the outlyer, I don't think people would mind so much if it wasn't for megacorps like SONY who treat a 'sale' more like a decade rental. Even my Apple store stuff is mostly all gone now. Funny how people don't cry about that one.

  I first visited the Apple Store in Jaipur when the problem was intermittent. The technicians couldn't reproduce the issue, so no defect was found at that time. Now that the issue has become frequent, I revisited the store and was informed that the display needs replacement. (5/8)

  At the Apple Store trying to replace my broken apple pencil under the Apple Care+ warranty. The warranty is active and covers accidental damage. I paid for the warranty at the same time i bought my ipad, pencil, and keyboard. I have the receipt and still a major hassle. /

  An AFP TV crew filmed an 8 year old Chinese boy named Zhou Zhiheng for a feature on Asia's youngest coders. Round green glasses. Red shirt. He sat in front of a MacBook Air at a glass desk in a Shenzhen co-working space with iPhone XR posters behind him. The narrator said he started by programming games. The subtitle said he had 60,000 followers on a coding tutorial channel. The camera pushed in on his fingers on the keyboard. While the West runs panels on screen time for children, China sits an 8 year old in front of an unregistered code editor and films it for the international press. He was supposed to be the cute face of Asian tech literacy. He just left the file tree open. Pause at 1:34. Ignore the C++ on the screen. Ignore the if statement that the AFP narrator was reading aloud. Look at the left sidebar of the editor. The folder is named aspirin. The open file is jizhe.cpp. The folder tree below it: 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 filming was named after them. The boy had the open scanf reading a score variable. He had not written it that morning. He had named the file the day the AFP request came in. The numbered folders were not coding lesson chapters. The numbering matched 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 scraping which journalists requested filming permits from which Shenzhen co-working spaces three days before the segments aired. Every requested permit was a position on the company being filmed. The agent traded the gap between filming and broadcast. The crew filmed for forty minutes. The agent placed eleven positions during the shoot. Every position was on a company whose office the AFP team had visited that week. Comments turned into a detective board. Someone slowed the AFP clip to 0.25x. Someone else 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 installed the fork on his son's MacBook the week the AFP request landed in the family's WeChat. The 60,000 follower coding channel was not a coding channel. It was a feed of which co-working spaces hosted which crews. The followers were operators running the same fork from different cities. The iPhone XR posters behind him were not Apple Store decor. The shoot was inside a media briefing room rented by foreign correspondents to film exactly this kind of segment. The agent knew the room. The room was on the list. The AFP segment is at 2.1 million views. The freeze frame of the folder tree hit 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 the screen. He was filmed as proof a child could code. The child was the lens. The agent did the filming.

  It's interesting how Apple Store changed servicing - I can now use the Mac as my part is being shipped. Whoever did this (@tim_cook is it you? - thank you!) Next step: let people just run self-service, and when I come over, perhaps just scan some magic code of my screen and that's it to verify it's the same machine. And the step after next would be to have Apple folks inspect the laptop and suggest fixes under AppleCare. e.g.: you have keyboard marks on LCD - we'll fix it for you. Improvement after this one: just book appointments for fixes and do them just-in-time, almost like doctor visits. So I bring my Mac in 2:54pm, then the service starts at 3pm, and on 3:45pm or so I get a Mac with new battery etc. because all parts were already in that store waiting for me. No need of 4 day stay for a flu. I don't get why there's like 3-7 day wait time for a fix anything. Bettery is like a 10-30min job. Is it because people from half of California send computers to handful of stores? Can't it all be offloaded by having people further away from Apple Store mail computer via Fedex/UPS? Those boxes should go to some big fix center where 50 people can be fixing 50 Macs per hr. It could be perhaps 2-3 days to get computer back, so it'd be better/faster for folks further away. And it'd be amazing experience for folks close to stores.

  Can’t just walk into the Apple Store and outright buy a new phone without having to make and appointment and sit down with someone. Utterly ridiculous.

  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.

  Maybe this wouldn’t be such a problem if your Tardis didn’t look like a damn Apple Store
