happy birthday!

rather try to gaslight and beat down on their consumers that it makes me want to vomit from disgust. It pisses me off that not only the "Geniuses" behind the "Genius" Bar spoke down to me, but also the fucking LEADERSHIP at that store, location of which rhymes with Urea.

#Apple fix your shit.

I don't understand how a trillion-dollar company can be so short-sighted that when presented with the fact that my phone is working again, they can't accept that the fix was literally what I had said and what UBREAKIFIX confirmed.

#Apple is so anti-consumer and anti-fixing that they would

I give the caller, "leader of #Apple store" a piece of my mind, whose name rhymes with "dreg".

> "IDC you tell me it's not a battery issue or how it's literally impossible to tell that that was indeed the issue. My phone is fucking working again and y'all lost a fuckton of goodwill today."

> tell them I went to a third-party store to fix phone
> confirm that it's a battery issue
> leadership asks me, "well how do you know that's what the issue was?"
> mfw the audacity to ask how i am sure it's a battery issue when my phone is fucking working again by replacing the battery

> TFW Apple store leadership calls me
> give them a piece of my mind

I don't care if it's policy to diagnose the issue using official Apple software to come up with a reason why things are failing. You. Don't. Have. To. Be. A. Prick.

#Apple sends me a survey, "How was your experience with Piss?" I rate the guy extremely poorly because he mansplained what a processor, battery, etc. to me, an engineer who works with computing devices for a living and refused to listen to me tell him that it's a battery/charging issue.

their store because IT SOUNDS SUS OK. But these guys, they were so easy to work with.

> come in, tell them it's a battery issue
> drop off phone
> leave for a few hours
> come back to pick up phone
> itsfuckingalive.exe
> pay $110 for the service

All within 2.5 hours.

I'm fucking flabbergasted.

Brother-in-Christ I know what the fucking problem is and I need you to just replace the battery. This shouldn't cost more than the trade-in value for this iPhone.

I end up going to the next option I have on my list - UBREAKIFIX, which is a hilarious name and one that has kept me from entering

When I finally got to my #Apple Genius Bar appointment, this guy whose name rhymes with piss tells me that "it could be that the processor is fried! I think we need to replace 80% of the phone to fix it, costs $500."

He proceeds to mansplain to me and ignore me when I say "it's a battery problem".

to the #AAPL store to get this fixed. I said, okay, let's do this, because at this point, my phone was coming alive for a few minutes then shutting off. This was at 10 AM and it would stop turning on and going to the home screen around 12 PM. Context: I had gotten my battery replaced 2 months ago.

up the data of my iphone, which contains 4 years of my relationship. Obviously, the latter is my fuck-up, but I figured I should try to save this device.

So, I go to the people who originally replaced my battery (Geek Squad) whom told me that they didn't have the parts to fix it, and I had to go

republicans use their power to do what they’ve always wanted to do - perv on little kids.

gonna become ceo of massive popular app then install all the chinese apps on all my devices that contain read access to all my production data. xixipi will be a real homie to me when china takes over the world!

they should have made an nft of it
