former Apple Genius here. this is NUTS. nobody in their right mind is going to do this when there are easier, less-expensive routes. I don’t believe Apple has gone out of their way to complicate DIY repairs, it’s just a complex process because the devices themselves are complex, a fact all the self-repair advocates conveniently overlook. 

“the road to hell is filled with good intentions”.

this terrible but well-intended idea should be buried under a mile of cement.  

so ridiculous. just a cursory review of Intel and TSMC’s recent attempts to run chip American fabrication, not to mention Trump’s stated desire to “get rid of” the CHIPS Act which was supposed to supercharge the American semiconductor segment, shows how completely insane this administration’s approach is. 

former Apple Genius here. the hours are very long, the pay is mediocre, the stress is high and the environment is chaotic. while that’s true all over retail, Apple is special and it’s pretty heartbreaking to know that the situation I lived through 15+ years ago is still happening.   

aw, that’s so sad! #thoughtsandprayers

given the harm she caused to the intended recipients, her sentence seems a slap on the wrist. 

delightful. NFTs are BS and Apple is protecting its customers and itself from this scam. 

F this guy, he sounds completely untrustworthy. 

I worked as a Genius for Apple Retail almost 15 years ago. So sad that the complaints we had then are the same complaints as now. 

so it doesn’t sound like “… he made an investment in Apple without any advice.” sounds like the guy who built his house advised him to.
