    iPhone 12 Pro Max Apple Customer Service

    I have owned an IPhone since 2007 and I am always amazed at the level of customer service from Apple. Just last week I had to make an appointment as I dropped my phone into my cup of coffee, and then off the table as I reached to grab my phone which shattered my screen ?. At the appointment I...

    Beware of trade in via mail

    This is kind of a rant so if that’s not your thing please do not read. I recently traded in a Series 4 for a Series 6. I wanted to do the trade in while in the store picking up the Series 6, but was told due to COVID they were not able to do that. Which in and of itself bothers me because they...

    iPad Pro iPad Pro purchasing fiasco with a happy ending

    Picture it. August 10, my birthday. Before I head out for the day to grab lunch with friends, I check online to see if any iPad Pros are in stock. I'm not holding my breath because I've been checking for weeks and there's been nothing in any of the Apple Stores in and around San Diego County...

    MP 6,1 Mac Pro 6,1 - 12core /D700 flicker issue

    So I’ve posted about this before but I’m running out of patience. I’ve had my Mac Pro 6,1 trash can since release. Ironically in the first few weeks of owning it I had a fault., naturally 7£k is a big chunk of money, so with it being so new it was replaced outright by Apple. This in recent...

    iPad Pro iPad Pro 2018 bending worse than previously thought!

    So let me preface this by saying I am a first time Apple Product buyer. I have worked on and owned older Apple products (tech guru) but never actually bought a NEW APPLE PRODUCT until now. On December 27th I bought the new iPad Pro 11" 256GB LTE model from AT&T (my first mistake)! AT&T took it...

    iPad Pro Over Five Hours Wasted Activating Data

    I'm so sick of explaining myself to different reps that I don't even want to get into the details but I just feel like I need to rant, even if nobody reads this. Feel free to not read it because it sucks. I'm warning you. Between yesterday and today, I have spent over five hours between T-Mobile...

    Do not buy a Mac Pro unless you're willing to wait for a long time

    I don't usually criticise Apple products but there is one I would like to vent out my frustration on the the Mac Pro 2013. You do not have to agree with me, so just hear me out. It will be a long story and an experience for those who hopefully won't have to go through the pain and disappointment...

    Apple customer service centers are replacement centers in India

    I have been to two customer service centers while phone was under warranty. At both the sites I faced extreme dissatisfaction and rather than solving issue the executives were focusing on selling me a replacement by paying around 70% of actual cost. The same issue got fixed easily when got it...

    My experience- Another 27” power issue

    For the past 2 months I’ve been experiencing intermittent shutdown issues with my iMac 27” from mid 2015 which is still covered by Apple Care. It first started when I noticed that my Mac kept powering off while I was away from it. Gradually as time went on (3weeks) id notice my Mac was turned...

    Incredible Apple Customer Service (Phone Replacement)

    TLDR: Apple (in the Cambridgeside Mall in Cambridge, MA) went way out of their way to help me during a small crisis and ultimately replaced my iPhone 7+ when I just went in to repair a cracked screen. This is a bit of a tale so bear with me... I dropped my 7+ yesterday while on the beach and...

    Apple's Customer Service, Lately

    I am a fan of Apple. I also have no problem calling them out when I feel anything is substandard or done better in some other fashion. (Just to get this out of the way). I help a lot of friends and family with tech related things that sometimes require assistance from Apple, to the point where...

    AirPod Customer Service Nightmare and why I'll never buy an Apple again

    I just needed everyone on here thinking that AirPods can be replaced to know my customer service story. It is long but I think worth the read. On Friday, I contacted Apple support chat to buy two replacement Airbuds. I had seen on Gawker that they were available if lost. Unfortunately, mine...

    Apple not honoring AppleCare+ warranty!

    We have 64G Iphone6S Plus. Purchased used in May 2016. Apple verified it's 'clean', verified that the AppleCare is valid and registered to our AppleID. 'We are good to go!' they said. We have all this in written documentation from Apple. The phone has worked fine for months. Last month it...
