  @BookitWithTrent @PrizePicks Well I'd like to answer but both options say "decline" which leads me to think that there might be an issue with my phone so I'd take it to the Apple Store for a diagnostics check

  @TechWhirlUlt @Cartidise @Cartidise try an iTunes restore first the Apple Store will likely have to restore the device to run diagnostics anyway so u might as well do it urself and see if that fixes the issue

  2. Choose the right court and jurisdiction. • Small claims court: Often the most practical for modest consumer claims (defective product, denied refund, billing dispute). Limits typically range from about $2,500–$25,000 depending on the state (e.g., around $12,500 for individuals in California). Procedures are simplified, fees are low, and lawyers are often not allowed or needed. You may be able to file in your local small claims court if Apple has sufficient contacts there, though Apple may challenge venue based on its terms. fairshake. com • State superior/civil court: For larger amounts or more complex claims. • Federal court: Available for federal-question cases (e.g., certain intellectual property, antitrust, or securities claims) or diversity jurisdiction (parties from different states and amount in controversy over $75,000). Apple is a California corporation with its principal place of business in Cupertino, California. • Venue/forum clauses and personal jurisdiction rules apply. Apple sells products nationwide, supporting specific jurisdiction in many places for related claims, but contractual clauses often point to Santa Clara County, California. 3. Prepare and file the complaint (or petition). This formal document names the parties (Apple Inc. as defendant), states the facts, legal basis for the claims, and the relief sought. Use the specific court’s required forms/format. Pay the filing fee (can range from under $100 in small claims to several hundred dollars in higher courts). File with the court clerk (in person, by mail, or electronically where allowed). 4. Serve the lawsuit properly (“service of process”). This officially notifies the defendant and is critical—defective service can get the case dismissed. For Apple Inc. (a California corporation), the reliable method is service on its registered agent: • CT Corporation System, 330 N. Brand Blvd, Suite 700, Glendale, CA 91203. • Use a professional process server (or sheriff in some places). Do not rely on delivering papers to an Apple Store or Apple Park—these are generally not valid for the corporation. Obtain a proof-of-service affidavit to file with the court. undisputedlegal. com 5. Proceed through the litigation. Apple will typically respond (answer, motion to dismiss, etc.) within a set time (often 20–30 days). Then comes discovery, possible motions, settlement talks, and potentially trial. Apple has substantial legal resources and often vigorously defends cases. Practical Realities and Costs • Filing fees, service costs, and (if applicable) attorney fees add up. In higher courts you may face significant expenses; contingency-fee arrangements are sometimes available for certain claims. • Even in small claims, success is not guaranteed—Apple has defended (and sometimes settled or lost) product/warranty cases there. • Class actions exist for broader issues; individuals usually cannot start one alone without counsel. • Outcomes depend heavily on the strength of evidence and law. Many cases settle; few go fully to trial against a company of this size. Again, speak with a lawyer (consumer protection, product liability, or civil litigation specialist) who can review your specific situation, any contracts, evidence, and local rules. Legal aid societies, bar association referral services, or law school clinics may offer low- or no-cost initial consultations in some areas. Acting without proper guidance risks wasting time and money or harming your position.

  📰 News of the day — August 16, 2026: ✦ DefiLlama has postponed its mobile app launch due to phishing apps on the Apple Store: DefiLlama's founder revealed that the company delayed its mobile app release while addressing the issue of phishing apps impersonating it on the Apple App Store. After documenting a fraudulent app draining funds from a crypto wallet, Apple promptly removed it. The founder emphasized the importance of ensuring all fake apps were eliminated to protect users from scams before the official launch of DefiLlama's app.

  @ParkerOrtolani Once battery health goes down below 80%, you can take your iPad Pro into the Apple Store to get the battery replaced.

  A woman spent 5 years as an Apple Store Genius. She repaired, troubleshot, and configured over 10,000 iPhones. She now runs an IT consulting firm. She told me: "Every iPhone owner walks around with a supercomputer in their pocket that's configured against them. The default settings drain your battery faster than necessary, share your location with apps that don't need it, let advertisers track you across the internet, send your typing data to third-party servers, keep a detailed diary of everywhere you've ever been, and let strangers ring your phone 15 times a day with spam calls you could silence with one toggle." "I picked up my mom's iPhone last Thanksgiving and found 11 problems in 3 minutes. Her battery was dying by 2 PM because 47 apps were refreshing in the background. Her location was being shared with apps she deleted 2 years ago. Her photos were accessible to 23 apps that only needed the camera. Her storage was full of files she couldn't see. And her Lock Screen was showing message previews to anyone who picked up the phone." "She'd owned the iPhone for 3 years. She'd never opened the Settings app beyond changing her wallpaper." "The iPhone ships with over 200 configurable settings. Most people have changed 3: the wallpaper, the ringtone, and the Wi-Fi password. The other 197 are running on defaults Apple chose and not all of them were chosen for you." Here are 11 iPhone settings most people have never changed and exactly how to change each one: 🧵

  A little different from what I usually do👨🏾‍💻 After deploying the apps to both the Play Store and Apple Store, and while waiting for the frontend production team to catch up with me, I decided to spend some time on the other side of development. Currently testing the web application, going through reported bugs, validating fixes, reporting new issues, creating and assigning Jira tickets to engineers, and following up to make sure everything gets resolved properly. Not just building anymore… making sure what we build actually works. 🦅

  So I asked the Apple Store technician the same question again: "Do these settings activated by default really protect the user... or are they slowly wearing down the device?" He didn't have an answer. But every iPhone he checked that day had exactly the same 2 options ACTIVATED. Silently heating up in their owners' pockets.

  You'll make WAY more money if you stop trusting something because it makes sense IN THEORY Getting plenty of comments sounds great IN THEORY, but 99% of them are almost always tirekickers and don't indicate potential buyers Selling at top of funnel after using spray and pray content sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize top of funnel content is outside a funnel so its guaranteed to attract mainly people who would never pay you Shipping new product updates publicly sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize other people with more experience can now clone your offer in 1 hour and market it better (you are also just procrastinating instead of making money) Giving up after 20 DM/Cold Emails sounds great IN THEORY, until you learn statistically you will make no money unless you send 650-1000 Doing lifestyle marketing with Ferrari's and Penthouses and Private Jets sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize that just makes you look like a moron Making your entire goal retiring your parents sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize not everyone has poor third world country parents Hiring early sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you have no idea how to write an SOP, and nobody will ever be as good as you at your job in the early stages Depending the Apple Store to make software sales sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you are now dependent on a system that can remove you whenever they want for whatever reason (and you still have zero idea how to drive traffic yourself, make sales yourself, or build a customer acquisition system yourself) Earning all your income from YouTube views sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize there's a 21 year old selling ebooks on Instagram borrowing traffic who's lapping you in profit every month (and unlike you if he loses a YouTube channel he doesn't lose all his income) Building a landing page using a framer template/lovable sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you maximized aesthetics and destroyed your conversion rate (because you have zero idea how to write actual copy and now your site looks like a clone of every other landing page) Spending $200k on a ******* dance theory degree sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you just blew $200k you could have spent 5% of that on a mentor and hit $30k/mo in just 1 year Posting "Insane Value" on the timeline sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you are sophisticating the market and years from now you're going to see all the sh#t you charged thousands of dollars for are now common sense and available everywhere for free Reading 100 Books every year sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize most of the OG books teach the same fundamentals, and you could easily have absorbed all their most important lessons using Notebooklm over night instead of spending 365 days reading platitude drivel and irrelevant personal stories they put in between the actual value inside the book Being afraid to pay for high quality help sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize the broke guy who saved up the $600-$5k and invested in a good mentor is now making $30k/mo, and you're still under $2k/mo despite starting at the same time Posting mainly platitude drivel every single day to drive impressions toward your middle of funnel sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize everyone now thinks you're ret#rded because you don't seem to have an original thought about anything whatsoever (stop trying to be Kieran Drew, Dan Koe, or Justin Welsh) Not following your mentor's instructions sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize the only reason you're doubting yourself is because you don't have his/her experience, and because they already went through that self doubt and figured it out anyway, you not listening to them is the only reason you are not making money We solve every single one of these problems and bottlenecks in DPU btw (no audience required) Godspeed, Ian
