    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...

    Tales from an Apple repair partner

    A very interesting post about the quality of Apple's repairs (via a 3rd party). I've been hearing more and more about this from various sources. I used to feel great about refurbished Macs and AppleCare, that's starting to fade...

    Online Apple retail store name badge generator?

    There used to be an unofficial site to generate an Apple retail store name badge as a wallpaper / image. I used to create cool iOS lock screen wallpapers with my RETURN IF FOUND info. Anyone know if the site still exists?

    New MBP, not in store?

    Certainly I couldn't any evidence of them in the Solihull store. What I did see was blank spaces where I assume the 11" MBA used to be. It appears to be a consistent feature of every new release - no demo stock. Seems we have to rely on reviews as the retail experience is becoming a joke.

    Can you buy an iPhone in-store to be shipped when it becomes available?

    Essentially, I've been told I can only sign up for the iUP program in-store, but the iPhone Plus 128GB Black is currently listed as shipping in 3-4 weeks. So, I'm wondering if I can go in store and still buy it, despite there not being any in-stock.

    Something I only recently noticed, Apple retail gift cards seemed to have dropped off the face of the internet?? Retailers like Best Buy and Target used to sell them (and still may in-store, I've yet to check) but I noticed that they're no longer listed on their sites. Perhaps apple only ships...

    Retailers offering iPhone SE pre-orders

    HI! As it turns out, I can't pre-order the iPhone SE from Apple because they require you to pay the past due account balance (I'm not responsible for paying that; the balance is insanely large due to personal things.) What retailers are offering iPhone SE pre-orders?

    So this story is incredible and it's a stark reminder that there are more good people than you think. I've attached the link so I won't rewrite the story, but basically an autistic child ran into one of the fancy glass doors in a Tennessee Apple Store. Because a special need can amplify an...
