    Resolved Apple Store question about logistics of returning and repurchasing iPhone

    Hope this makes sense. I'm in the U.S. and live near an Apple Store for reference. I just purchased an iPhone (full price, unlocked, not associated with my carrier) and will be reimbursed by my job for it. The iPhone arrived today but I haven't even opened the UPS box and am a bit buried in...

    With what would've been Steve Jobs' 69th birthday upon us, I share the gallery of photos I took at the closest of my local Apple Stores (Clarendon, VA (DC area)) on "that evening" and days following, back in October 2011. Myriad notes of love and tribute posted by Apple folks...

    Last Friday night (I was not drinking too many shots nor did I kiss anyone and forget) I was FaceTiming with a friend when suddenly the front camera on my 15 Pro Max went completely out of focus. I tried to gently tap the front of the phone to get it to regain focus with no success a few...

    Why Apple lost my sale on new MacBook Pros tonight

    That's essentially how my chat sales support went down this evening. What a pile of crap. Add this to other frustrations: 8 core, 11 core, 12 core, 14 core, or 16 core CPU? 10 core, 14 core, 18 core, 30 core, or 40 core GPU? 8GB, 16GB, 18GB, 24GB, 36GB, 48GB, 64GB, 96GB, or 128GB RAM? And you...

    iPhone 15/Plus Am I being overtaxed by Apple

    I’ve noticed a change to Apple Trade-In policies in Canada. In the past, when I received a trade-in refund, it consisted of the promised trade-in value plus tax. The effect was that I only paid tax on the net cost of the device, not the full retail price. This year I only received the promised...

    iPhone 15 Pro Max Exchanging iPhone 15 Pro Max on EIP

    I'm having an issue with my 15 PM where the right side of the screen has a reddish tint. It's very noticeable to me at night and in low brightnesses. I took it to the Apple Store and of course it wasn't super noticeable there in that extremely lit space. I can still do an exchange, but Apple...

    How to buy an iPhone on apple.com with Apple Account balance (gift card)?

    From what I understood I can use Apple Account balance on apple.com to buy products in available countries (mine included), but during checkout I don’t see it affecting the total amount to be paid. Any idea?

    iPhone 15 Pro Max Trying to get the iphone 15 pro max on release day!!

    I'm from Canada and missed the pre-order so I ordered from Best Buy and I still don't have an update. So I'm thinking of trying to go on release day to my local Apple store. Do you think going to line up at 5am is enough time to ensure an Iphone pro max? And has anyone waited outside a mall...

    Barton Creek Square Apple Store Temporary Closure

    I have an Apple Watch Ultra 2 on order, set for pickup on September 22 at the Barton Creek Square Mall Apple Store in Austin, TX. Oddly, this store has been shuttered since the end of last week due to what a phone rep stated as an "Emergency." Despite fielding multiple calls to support, no rep...

    Will there be a hands-on demo at the Apple Store for the headset?

    I was thinking to myself, will there be a hands-on demo at the Apple Store for the headset. There must be because the iPhone, iPad, and MacBooks have hands-on demos at the store. What do you guys think?

    [Australia] How often are delivery dates brought forward for M2 Pro/Max?

    I've ordered a 14" M2 Max(12/38) MBP (32GB RAM, 1TB SSD). It's not the standard 14" M2 Pro/Max and my understanding is that Apple adds some additional delivery 'padding' as it's classified as a custom order. Delivery date is saying the 10th of February. Has anyone had their delivery dates...

    iPhone 14 Pro Max Store Pickup New iPhone, Mail Current iPhone with iPhone Upgrade Program

    I selected the "pick up in store" delivery option for the iPhone Upgrade Program. I was hoping to mail the phone in, because the new phone is Christmas gift, but it seems like I have to surrender the current iPhone when I pick up the new iPhone. Is that accurate or do I have the option to mail...

    iPhone 14 Pro iPhone 14 Pro not available for order for employees?

    My friend offered to order my iPhone 14 Pro through his account, since he is an Apple Store employee and gets 17% discount. However, as he is trying to order, the website does not give him the option to order. The button is missing. I do not have this issue (German version of the Apple website)...
