  I think my iPhone is defective. My texts won't send so I was forced to phone someone at 8:45 am, yuck, and they told me it said "Unknown Caller". And I am having trouble getting the phone to turn off. I guess I'll have to visit the Apple Store again and try to get a new phone... @Apple

  @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.

  If this saved you $70 or helped you realize the Pro 2 is worth $70 more one ask: Repost the first post so the next person standing in the Apple Store staring at two boxes has the breakdown before they buy. Follow [ @RidiTechAI ] I break down the hidden comparisons, features, and pricing games that companies bank on you not questioning.

  The uncomfortable truth: Apple operates 500+ retail stores worldwide. Each one generates more revenue per square foot than any other retailer on earth. And most customers use the store for one thing: buying a product and leaving. Free workshops that teach photography, video, music, and device mastery never attended. Genius Bar diagnostics that are free on any device never requested. Trade-in valuations that take 3 minutes and apply instantly never checked. Price matching against Best Buy and Target never asked for. A 14-day return window for risk-free testing never used strategically. Free data transfer and setup declined and regretted at home. Education and military discounts worth $100-229 never mentioned. Device recycling for every old gadget in your drawer never brought in. Every service is free. Every service is available. Every service exists to make the device you already bought more useful and the next purchase more affordable. The former employee's last line: "I worked at Apple for 5 years. I sold thousands of devices. But the most rewarding part of my job was the services not the sales. Setting up an 80-year-old's first iPhone and watching her FaceTime her grandkids. Teaching a teenager iPhone photography and watching his photos improve in 90 minutes. Running diagnostics on a 'dead' MacBook and fixing it with a software reset for free. Giving a genuinely kind customer a free battery replacement that should have cost $89 because she treated me like a person, not a register. The Apple Store isn't just a store. It's a service center. A classroom. A repair shop. A trade-in counter. A recycling facility. Most customers use 10% of it. The other 90% is free and waiting." 11 secrets. Same Apple Store. Same glass doors. The products are on the tables. The services are behind the Genius Bar, inside the workshop schedule, and on the website you've never scrolled. Walk in this weekend. Not to buy something. To learn something. Fix something. Trade in something. Ask about something. The store was always more than a store. Most customers just never asked.

  @AppleSupport got a shocker of my life with Mac Book Air going blank. After visiting Apple Store Noida and initial inspection the laptop was found in good condition and looked like there was a problem with the logic board. Under Apple care mail was sent that zero cost is leviabl

  @apple, I am waiting for my refund check for the products I’ve paid inflated prices as you passed those tariffs down to your customers. Fortunately, I bought everything through the Apple Store and all the applicable transaction details should be on my account.

  @IrrelevantNerd @beautyskillz Digital movies are very different so no, it's not the same. This is long but it'll help people understand. There's two different versions of digital movies you can buy/get. There's the ones you get from Fandango At Home, Movies Anywhere, Microsoft Store, formerly the PlayStation Store, Apple Store, Google Play Store, etc. These are the ones you have a limited license to VIEW on those platforms only. When you read the EULA for those you'll see it tells you that you own nothing. You just have a license to view it on that platform. Meaning, if that platform goes away? You'll lose access and they have no real obligation to refund you or move platforms for you. That's what you agree to every time they do that. Movie licenses are subject to renewal, gaming licenses are one and done. Renewing the license every few years is what those third party companies do on your behalf. If they can't get it done they lose access which, in turn, means you lose access. The other version of digital movies? You DO own it. Fully. I'll explain it. These digital movies are movies you get directly from the studios that distributed it. Meaning, you bought the DVD or Blu-Ray and the digital code it came with, you used it. You got a code directly from their website store. Or, you got gifted a code or won a code from them or a third party that got the codes from them directly. With that? Once you redeem that code, that movie is yours to keep on one of those platforms I mentioned earlier. Forever. If a platform you bought a code and put your paid movie on goes out of business? They have an obligation to either find you another locker (they use this term for the other digital platforms they house the movies) to store the movie on, or they HAVE to let you download the movies to your personal storage. All of this is in their EULAs. I hope you read it all to get a better understating of the difference between movies and games EULA. A game is never going to get taken from you unless you do one of two things. You break TOS, or you call them and tell them you don't want the license any longer. Also in their EULA. Even if they no longer exist as a company you still own your games digitally. They'll leave you to download them or leave them attached to your username on your consoles. They will not shut down the usernames just because they don't exist as a company. They will keep the agreement in place. That's just how it works. Again, I know this is a long read, but it's very informative.

  @Derceto00 @2_Old_4_Gaming @RetroGamer_Daz Why do y'all say this? Where is it a rental? Please show me where a game has been completely removed after a certain amount of time from someone's library? It's NOT a rental! You are buying a license! That license CAN be revoked but so can your driver's license. Does that mean you're only renting your car if you break the law and they take away your license to drive? No. You are the owner of that license along with the publishers that you acquired it from. That agreement WILL NOT BREAK as long as you don't break any of the TOS. even if they close down forever. You still get to keep your games. I'm sick of reading this rental nonsense because it's simply not true and not how this works. "but what about the 500 movies Sony took!" Movies are not games! Movies you get from a third party EXPLICITLY tells you that YOU DON'T OWN THIS! What you're buying is a license to view it from that third party as long as THEY have their license to carry that movie renewed. There's never a time you can show me in the EULA for games where they can just arbitrarily take games from you and that you're only renting them. It doesn't state that. Movies have licensing agreements in place with platforms like Fandango, Apple Store, Google Play Store, Movies Anywhere, etc, where they can carry those movies on your behalf as you buy the license to watch them on those platforms. The EULA explicitly says this to you. The ONLY way a digital movie is yours forever is if you bought it first hand from the studios that made it. That means when you purchase a movie from their own website, the DVDs and Blu-ray codes that come in the boxes, or they gave you a code to use directly. You still watch them on those platforms but if one of those platforms ever shut down? They are obligated to move your collection over to another "locker", which is what they call it in the EULA, OR give you the ability to download the movies so you keep them forever. They HAVE to do this as it is in their EULA and that's what they agreed on with you as the purchaser. Games? They don't have limited licenses like that, typically. You'll run into a licensed game from Marvel or DC or Star Trek, Nickelodeon, or licensed music, etc, and those games have limited licenses physically and digitally. That's why a lot of those games get delisted or they have to remove the music just like GTA had to do a few years ago. Delisting doesn't mean you can't play what you've bought though. That's what I need people to understand. Delisting is not de-platforming. It's not the same thing. I have purchased delisted games since 2017 and they are still ready for me to play digitally. You keep them. They just aren't available for purchase for anyone else that may want them digitally. Physical games get delisted and moved from store shelves all the time too. Deadpool is a great example of a game no longer in regular circulation and you can only really find it used for high prices on eBay. Effectively that game is out of commission because of that physically. Digitally? You can still play it if you bought it before they delisted it. It's not gone forever. It's there. I hope you really take time out to read all of this and try to understand that You've been misinformed on this stuff and that digital gaming is not what you've been thinking. There's some drawbacks just like there will be with physical games. The true issue needing addressing with all digital platform is the refund, trade, and selling policies that Sony has to change up. They will have to change them to match Steam because that's their direct competition now. I do think they will announce changes to those soon.

  @Apple I’ve been having problems with my AirPods4 since I bought them. They keep losing connection all the time. I’ve been to the Apple Store several times, but unfortunately the issue is still there
