Apple Store 4+

Since ios 18, the App Store is losing track of the updates. Upper right the account initials circle reflects how many app updates are available, and correctly counts down as each update is completed. But in the available updates section, as the updates are completing, the count down seems to skip a beat, so when they’re all done updating this number may still show a 1 or a 2 (upper right shows none). You have to manually slide the Updates section down to force it to check how many updates are available to clear the counter.

I replaced my 12 plus with the 16 plus and have had it for a couple of months now. I had to replace the 12 because of withering battery life and while the 16 does have a better battery life, there are tradeoffs. So the phone is just a lot glitchier and gets stuck a lot more across various apps. So be prepared to relaunch stuck apps a lot. The screen is less responsive to touch and can be problematic, case in point, I was trying to update to the latest software and I had to restart the phone because I kept “mistyping” the passcode and this was because the screen keyboard kept jamming. AirPods can oddly be too sensitive on this phone, don’t turn your head while speaking on your AirPods or move around too much (great for exercise!). Overall, seems like a rushed release of glitchy product as they tried to incorporate AI . . . All for a phone release with a beta version of AI and beta hardware. 😾

I recently purchased a MacBook Air M3 in July 2024, and my experience with the company has been nothing short of frustrating. After a rain incident, some water got into my laptop, and I rushed to the store for help.

Upon arrival, I was initially told that I needed an appointment, but thankfully, a kind staff member allowed me to see someone after noticing my distress. However, the technician took a long time to arrive and, when he finally did, his attitude was dismissive. He even joked about the model being an Air, not a Pro, before shocking me with a repair quote of 1,100!

I wasn't the only one facing issues—there were others in the store with similar problems, which raises concerns about the quality of these products. The lack of genuine customer service and the outrageous repair costs have left me feeling extremely let down. I expected better from a brand with such a strong reputation.

I hope the company improves its customer service and addresses these issues, as I certainly won't be returning anytime soon. I will switch all my devices to better companies my parents have samsung and we never have been through all this mess before i will not wait i will but my iphone and ipad as a trade in better company
