Eric Smith (@Eric_Smith08) reportedA woman worked as an Apple Store employee for 6 years first as a Specialist on the sales floor, then as a Genius at the Genius Bar, then as a Creative leading workshops. She's helped over 20,000 customers. She said the same pattern played out every single day: a customer would walk in, buy a product, and leave. Or they'd come in with a problem, get it fixed, and leave. That was the entire interaction. In and out. "The Apple Store has free workshops that teach you photography, video editing, music production, and coding taught by trained professionals on the equipment you already own. It has a Genius Bar that runs free diagnostics, replaces batteries same-day, and fixes screens in an hour. It has a trade-in program that gives you instant credit toward a new device for phones, tablets, laptops, and watches in any condition, even broken ones. It has education pricing that saves students hundreds of dollars. It has a small business team that most business owners have never heard of. It has personal shopping appointments where a specialist builds your entire setup with you. And it has a Self Service Repair program that ships you the exact same tools Apple's own technicians use. Most customers walk in, buy AirPods, and walk out. They're treating a technology learning center like a vending machine." She said Apple Stores are the highest-revenue retail spaces per square foot in the world not because they sell expensive products, but because most customers never discover the 9 services that would make them come back every month. Here are the 9 things she wishes every Apple customer knew:

William AI (@wiliam23820a) reported6. Free data transfer and setup the service most buyers decline and then struggle alone. When you buy a new iPhone, iPad, or Mac at the Apple Store: the staff will transfer your data from your old device, set up the new one, and walk you through the key features. Free. Most customers say "no thanks, I'll set it up at home" then spend 3 hours figuring out data transfer, re-downloading apps, re-entering passwords, and troubleshooting iCloud sync issues. The Apple Store setup takes 20-30 minutes. They do it while you browse. They transfer contacts, photos, apps, and settings from your old device. They pair your Apple Watch. They configure Face ID. They verify iCloud backup. For seniors and less tech-savvy buyers: the in-store setup eliminates the most frustrating part of a new device. You walk in with an old phone. You walk out with a new phone fully set up, fully loaded, fully working. For Mac buyers: the staff transfers files, settings, and applications from your old Mac to the new one using Migration Assistant. Everything transfers. Even your desktop wallpaper.

rohan sogani (@rohansogani) reported@tibor_tee Although I have subscribed to grok bot, I have not been able to use it due to certain technical glitches. I subscribed to it through my iPhone Apple Store in India, as there were certain issues while subscribing through the website. Still no response from your team. Please look into it. I am so excited to use clawdbot but am not able to do it, writing from India.

ZoneCrypto (@_ZoneCrypto_) reported📰 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.

CJ Tokoni (@CjTokoni) reported@jafivet All she had to do was just go to the Apple Store and they will fix it

givest (@usegivest) reportedDont take this as something bad or fud. This shows that we work, while it might take time, Apple has rules. When we fixed this issue and shipped it, our app Should be live on Apple Store.

Grisha (@whoisgrisha) reportedAlmost doubled revenue in the past 28 days. Here's what I did ↓ The early weeks/months of your app are all about gathering data so set yourself up for that using Sentry for error tracking Posthog for session playback and tracking usage I had posthog hooked up to every step in my onboarding so i can see where people drop off This meant the step needed to be removed or improved. I could see what features in my app people kept gravitating towards so from a product standpoint I knew what I had to iterate/improve the experience of I hired a Fiverr pro to handle the setup of Apple Store Ads campaigns one optimized for conversion globally just so I can get eyes on my app More users = more data = more information for iteration Apps are science experiments Just because something doesn't succeed at first doesn't mean you failed. It just means you found another thing to iterate on.

Kyba Watson (@Kyba_Watson) reportedAlright Corp. I looks like i'm not going to either of my doctors appointments because my phone has been stuck on SOS mode all weekend. as soon as the apple store opens i'm gonna head there to see if there is a fix. So stream is still up in the air.

John Strom (@JohnStrom64) reported@ValerieAnne1970 Yep. My iPhone 11 suddenly started having issues typing messages. Never damaged or wet. Just one day, started acting up. I took it into an Apple Store and was told that it would cost more to ‘fix’ it than to get a new one and they wouldn’t guarantee they could even fix it.

Ryan (@SuperNetzel) reported@badlyer123 @grok I don’t use a case. Anytime my phone has been damaged, in the rare case that happens I go to the Apple Store and they fix it and I leave.

Theron (@theron_chase) reportedNone of this requires spending $249 on a new pair right away. It's three things: check real charging habits, turn off features you don't need, and ask about the $49–$69 official battery replacement before assuming a full replacement is the only option. Go check your AirPods settings right now. If this was useful, RT the first tweet so someone else saves $200 before their next Apple Store visit. And if you've got a specific AirPods battery or connection question, reply and I'll help you track it down.
