Apple Store was such a big help with my dad. The tech that assist us to be sure the Iphone was not hack did a fantastic job! I was not upset that he had to assist other customers that came in the store. He did a fantastic job on being sure we were taken good care of. I just wish I had gotten the tech name. Apple Store on Fourth Street is a nice place to come inside to. There are parking meters nearby the store which are 30 minutes or 2 hours (suggestion: park at the two hour one). I have gone to this location many times including after I had gotten off work. I have gotten my Macbook fix at this location when I schedule an appointment with them. read more

Sales rep too lazy to explain product (watch) and said you can look at them in this screen. I would have looked at the screen from home! And she doesn't know the product features and told me the watch can measure blood pressures, which is not true and I confirmed that on the screen she told me to use. Don't the sales reps get product training? Or they just trained to spot who is a "serious buyer"! read more

Romeo and Marcella provided fantastic service! Little did I know that today is the launch for the latest iPhone and the store was at capacity. But I'm here to buy a computer? Just come on in! Purchased my air book from a good guy named, Romeo. He got me the educational discount, which included a AirPods. A nice woman, Mariana, got me set up. Great service and I was happy. In about an hour! read more

They were very helpful and very quick to be able to pick up my new MacBook Neo. I appreciate the locations that they have set up and the way they're able to manage where people need to go for service and support. read more

I recently picked up my new iPhone 17 Pro here. Depending on when you're reading, that could be the brand new one or years old haha. I also got my last iPhone here, the 14 Pro Max. I don't tend to upgrade every year. This Apple store has always been friendly and efficient and I really like the location. Parking here can be a bit iffy if going in the middle of the day on a weekend, however I usually try to go right near right when they open and have not had an issue finding parking. Better yet, bike or take an escooter, which I have also done. Some nice eateries and boutiques nearby as well as a Peet's coffee make this location tops. read more

Apple 4th Street - iPhone 17 Pro with Apple TechWoven Case - Mobile Phones Near Me - Berkeley, California

Horrible customer service. I went to pick up my new laptop and asked about a laptop case. Instead of assisting me, the Apple representative simply pointed in a general direction. When I went over there and still couldn't find what I needed, he pointed again rather than walking over to help. This isn't how you sell accessories--or treat customers. A little effort and engagement would have made a big difference in the experience. Finally the third time he went over there and told me it is out of stock. Also the accessories is so high up I cannot reach it if it was available. I spent thousand of dollars over the years and this is a big disappointment. read more

They have all the products you need here. They have a security officer outside at all times due to theft activities! The people at the genius bar are nice and was able to help me fix a speaker issue on my iphone quickly. read more

Jackie, had no acknowledgment that she made both our calendars disappeared she got rid of our calendars. read more

One star only so I could post this review. Staff NOT knowledgeable- you will get ripped off here. I came in specifically to purchase an iPad to add on to my cellular plan. I was very clear in what I was wanting to purchase. The Apple salesman sold me an iPad that was not equipped with the cellular option. I returned to the store and was told because it was past two weeks I could not exchange it or get a refund. I was also told I could not trade it in (losing 50% of its value) because the next version is not out yet. 100 percent NOT satisfied with the 4th street location. read more

What an unpleasant experience. I am used to being greeted at an Apple Store and asked how I can he helped. This did not happen at 4th Street. I had an appointment at the Genius Bar and just went and sat there. No one asked how they could help. Finally I looked for someone who seemed like they might be able to help me and, with effort, they finally raised someone at the Genius Bar. I needed help setting up my MacBookAir since the Apple computer environment is new to me. I did get that help. Then I was moved to a little table full of people with Apple helpers there. I overheard the person next to me asking an Apple Watch question that the "helper" couldn't answer, but I could answer. The place was incredibly crowded and there was inadequate air circulation. Not enough fresh air. Not good for employees or customers. I will not go back. read more

I bought a new Mac mini and left my old iMac to be migrated into it and then traded in. I went away for the weekend now just discovered that they failed to do the migration and the old one is of course gone Apple services now is very chaotic and devil may care. read more

I set up an appointment at the Genius Bar. When I got there I was told they didnt have the parts to fix it. I was told I could just drive over to emeryville and I would have an appointment there as they had the parts. Got over to Emeryville and they told me it would be two hours to get my phone fixed. My appointment was at 10:15. It's now 11:30 and from what I was told I will be lucky to get out of here before 2:00. I would suggest calling the store and making sure they have the parts to fix your problem so you dont have to spend five hours waiting. read more

I sat at the Genius Bar for 40 minutes and nobody talked to me. I talked to 2 people who said I would be checked in soon. A guy came in and sat down and they talked to him in 10 minutes. This was 30 minutes after my appointment time. I do t expect much from Apple stores but this was very upsetting. I will pay someone else to fix my screen and probably cancel my Apple insurance. read more

Just back from visiting this location. I asked about accessories for my iPhone mini and found they had nothing to fit my phone. I was not at all surprised...just checking. Although I can feel a bit annoyed by some of Apple's policies for sure, I have always had great help in making my purchases at this store. Today, the one helping me was delightful and although she was unable to fill either of my requests, I left happy. That's golden! My appreciation for all the help I have received at this store. read more

George and Jesse at the genius bar were incredible. I went in because I was having issues with my phone and the way that it was set up and it was probably something that I did but they stayed with me and they worked on it furiously and the issues were resolved. From the minute I came in from outside I was greeted by the security that stands out there that usually security would make you push back. These guys are really nice, the door was open for me as I came and I was immediately greeted every step of the way all the way back to the back of the genius bar. Thank you team for getting my phone back into shape. That was incredible service for the customer and the amount of items that you have for sale there left nothing for the mind to worry about. read more

I came here to upgrade from my iPhone 14 to the 16 Pro and get an iPad. I was initially worried about my trade-in value since my phone had a small crack, but Damian and James went above and beyond to help me get the maximum trade-in credit and find the perfect setup for my needs. When they discovered a piece needed for my repair wasn't in stock, Damian had it overnighted at no extra charge. The whole process took less time than I expected, with zero pressure to buy accessories I didn't need - just genuine expertise and care. Their service has earned a customer for life. Well done 4th Street Apple! read more

Really bad. I had problem with my I phone they couldn't fix it. They said that iphone 16 is having lots of issues. They took my Iphone 16 and send it for repair which will take a week and gave me 1phone14 loaner which is also not working. I asked my wife to return I phone16 which she bought on 24 of june2025. I bought mine in April 2025 read more

Purchased a new phone case a few days ago and a small chip fell off the bottom left. During the initial check in, a guy came and helped me out, leading me to believe the process would be a lot more strenuous and tedious but thankfully, and when I say thankfully I mean THANK YOU. Francisco, what a gem of a human being. Efficient, kind, and warm, took care of my situation in seconds. 5 stars for Francisco's customer care and service. read more

Highly disappointed in my service. I went into to fix water damage on my iphone and worked with an employee that had a bad attitude and smelt of weed the whole time we were together. Sarah H. said i don't know how im going to deal with you. while trying to fix water damage. So disappointed with your employee's. I was so taken back by her attitude that i left and will NOT be coming back to this store. read more

I just bought a MacBook Air and the screen busted immediately! After opening the laptop a few times the lines on the screen started. I took it to the GeniusBar assuming they'd replace bc it was a faulty product. Nope. They offered to repair under AppleCare. Fine, but the employee talked down to me by giving me the analogy " when you buy a new car and it gets dinged in a parking lot you don't get a new car do you?". Then they said there was a crack on the screen. I said where? She replied "well there are 5 layers(obviously) so I can't see it". Then I told her to stop talking down to me and she got mad and brought over the manager and left . I tried telling the manager Jen about my experience with previous employee and she put her hand up like 'zip it' and said we aren't talking about her right now, we are talking about the repair". I guess it was my bad to discuss a grievance about an employee. I told the manager I just bought this computer and felt it should be replaced. She got irritated etc etc and told me I could go elsewhere then. So I'm def going to a different Apple Store. I have been buying Apple products for years and years, never had any bad experiences until now. I'm astounded by the lack of ability to handle a situation as a manager should. I felt that the employees were talking to me like I was a child and when I called it out they didn't even understand at all. Oh to be young and have no insight how to converse with a customer. Well they can F off. I'll probably never buy apple products again bc if I drop $1400 for a sht product and get treated as if I'm the problem I don't need their products anymore. On top of the poor customer service, they didn't have the part and it would be 7 days to complete the repair once they got the part. I get it if it was an old computer, but to wait like that fora faulty brand new machine to be repaired is seriously bad business. Bravo idiots. read more

The lady that helped me was very knowledgeable and told me step by step exactly what I need to do fix the problem that I had been having for the last 23 weeks no joke. Unfortunately, it will be kind of a long process, but finally found somebody who knew what they were talking about and could actually give me an answer and step-by-step directions on what to do so to save the lease. I am very relieved at this point that I'm not going to lose everything on my phone! I am horrible with names and I wish I couldn't remember her name, but both my young son and I know exactly who she is when we go back to get our new phones! Wonderful service, and on top of that they were doing a demonstration about the latest iPhones and my son was very excited to be able to sit at the table with the the lady speaking and kept interrupting her to answer questions so I had to apologize to her for that, but she was not the least bit concerned or annoyed at all whatsoever. She actually was very impressed and enjoyed my son's questions at such a young age. read more

Usually much better customer service here. The young man who was assigned to help me try out the new AirPods was desultory and then dumped me when someone came up for about. I wouldn't have minded being temporarily interrupted but this was more than that. Not what I expected from past visits. read more

Had to replace my iPhone 12 mini so my first visit was to see and interact with an iPhone 13. Lady just pointed to where they were. That's okay. The second visit is when they displayed something in stock online. When I walked over, it wasn't in stock. The third visit I purchased a magsafe car mount and wasn't taken seriously; someone helped other people before me, or I heard employees pawning the task over to one another. Worst experience ever. read more

Update: They made it right. Alexander at the Genius Bar was super helpful in, as he said, "repairing the relationship".

Worst customer service knew exactly what I wanted came in and tried to purchase iPad with my grandmother they ignored us and had to ask manager to get assistance she told us to wait and ignored us whole time left to another store don't go to this store read more

[Review for Jose]: What did Jose not do well and what can he not improve on?! Give this guy a raise. The way he handled the Vision Pro demo experience was stellar. Other employees would be wise to learn from his 5* example. He explained everything clearly and provided instructions/guidance at a pace that matched mine. Even when I went ahead, he shared kind words to instruct me to take some steps back. "I love the excitement here. Let's head back a little to look at some photos you've missed." After the demo session, he was even gracious enough to answer my other Apple tech/hardware questions. He shared recommendations for phone and laptop trade-in/ alternative uses. Because of Jose, I have finalized my phone plans for international travel and also scheduled an upgrade for my MacBook. You're a rockstar Jose and I hope to see your name on the big screen today with your 3D Modeling passions! read more

The Apple Store on 4th Street was my go-to Apple Store when living in Albany (2016 to 2019). I got my MacBook Pro with touch bar in a space gray color, which I named Meson, and my gold iPhone Xs, which I named Neutrino, both here. I also broke the glass on my iPhone 5s, which I named Tachyon, at one point and had the screen repair done here. On all occasions, the workers were helpful and clear in their communications. I typically went with a parking lot north on fourth street a little ways where I had to pay for parking and I purposefully chose off times for my appointments to avoid traffic. Of the aforementioned items I got from the store, only the laptop had problems when I got it new. The touchpad made a clicking sound. If I put the screen of the laptop down, the clicking was not so loud. However, at night it reminded me of the pet hamsters I had growing up and the squeakiness of the wheel as they ran in the darkness. I ended up deciding to wait and see if it got better on its own. It did, but it took a few weeks. Now, a few years later it does not have the clicking sound at all. A different trouble I had with the same device, I could not get the computer to turn on no matter what I tried and whether it was plugged in or not. So I set up an appointment, tried turning it on one last time in the parking lot before the appointment, and it did. The store let me cancel my appointment last minute free of charge. read more

I have a 2021 Macbook Pro with a defective screen that has a black vertical line running from top to bottom. So I went to the Genius Bar. The screen replacement cost was $750. When I pointed out that I did nothing to damage the computer and that the problem was either with the design or manufacturing, I was told that the damage might have been caused by regularly closing the lid without shutting down the machine. This is obviously untrue and, if it were, it would be a massive design flaw. I was also told that the trade-in value for the computer was $0, despite it having a 10-core CPU and 16-core GPU, 32 GB of memory, and 1 TB of storage. Indeed, when I checked the trade-in value via Apple online, it was not $0. read more

Came in during a Monday evening to do a pick up order. I was immediately greeted as I walked through the door, then assisted. After that I was directed to the pick up order waiting area and didn't wait more than 3 minutes NO JOKE. My order was brought out to me and they confirmed the order was correct by verifying my ID. I was in and out of the store in less than 10 minutes. That is how a pick up order procedure should be done. Great experience whenever I go to this location. read more

I needed to erase my old phone so I could sell it. A kind employee helped me at the front door. Solved quickly.

I hope you're lucky enough to get Jesse to help you. I thought I had made an appointment online but never confirmed it. The young man at the front gave me a walk in appointment that was actually better than the one that was offered online. A short wait and then Jesse worked on my phone. He quickly diagnosed the problem and I was on my way. I had thought I was going to have to buy a new phone but no, I was lucky. Thank you Jesse! read more

I walk into the store and I'm greeted by an employee. I say I want to buy a phone I know exactly what I want. She says you'll have to order it online then wait and come back and pick it up even though they have it in stock. So they have the phone in the store the person is there helping me but won't sell me the phone and it's telling me to order it online which I can't do because my phone is broken Somehow this tech world is turned upside down and I'm afraid things will never ever be the way they used to be I just want to buy a phone and somehow I am unable to do that even though I am at the store and they have the product read more

Normally, I don't love reviewing big box stores but the people at this store deserve a shout out for their service. I've come in multiple times to get the charging port on my iphone cleaned and they've always attended to me quickly. The fact that they don't charge for it is a nice little bonus as well. Parking in the area isn't my favorite but generally, I can find a spot. read more

Deadass the worst customer service I've ever experienced. I work in customer service as well so it's not a point of "the customer is always right", but the workers here are rude as hell and glare at you for asking questions for help??? I was also barely approached by anyone, I was the one who had to come up to everyone to ask.. and they weren't even busy, there were 4-5 employees standing around just talking amongst themselves. I am a 20-year-old college student adulting for the first time... I have several questions to ask and understand about buying a phone and they did not help me once. Genuinely tell me why I went through 5+ people just to ask questions about buying a phone. The first guy who helped me was Bryan, who had decent customer service. I told him my whole situation and he redirected me to someone else. However, the next person, Jen, helped me ONCE, and walked away which is understandable as I asked for some time to discuss with my dad. When I was finally done, she walked around and made eye contact with me 3x but ignored me...like wtf. I had to walk up to people and ask for help again. What was annoying though was that I kept having to explain my situation with them over and over multiple times. The last guy who helped me, Johnnie or Johnny or whatever gave me the strangest and worst customer service interaction I've ever had in my life. He started off extremely unprofessional, trying to flirt with me???? He asked me personal questions and then moved the topic to the Apple Vision Pro, which he asked if I was going to buy. I just said "nah, doesn't seem worth it" and he said to try it out. I asked "oh, is it worth it?" and he proceeded to say "nah, honestly it's not, actually nah i shouldnt say that-- I mean, yeah, you should buy it".. where tf did y'all hire this dude cause is that even allowed to say when you're an Apple employee? On top of that, once my boyfriend came over to help me, he began backhanded-ly insulting my boyfriend. He asked him if he was buying a phone too and what phone he had, and when my boyfriend said no and that he had the 13 Pro Max, this dude johnny said there was so such thing and when my boyfriend asked about the price differences b/w all the iPhones, johnny tried to insult his knowledge. My boyfriend went to his settings and showed him his phone model, which was the 13 Pro Max, and johnny deadass said "well we don't sell it anymore". lol, after that, johnny asked him if he tried the Vision Pro, which my boyfriend bought and returned, but he told johnny "nah he didn't like it." johnny's response: "if you can't afford it it's fine, just say that." I genuinely think this dude Johnny has some fragile masculinity issues. After about an hour of me trying to pay for my phone, I called my dad to explain to him the reason why it was difficult for me to buy my new phone (I spoke it Vietlish so it was difficult to explain) and in the middle of taking a phone call, johnny tried to talk to me and tried to make a decision about my phone for me..? When I asked to give me a minute, he sighed and continued talking to me saying "OK I'm just going to cancel this then." I then looked at him ask said " give me a moment, I'm trying to talk and understand the issue here", Johnny literally rolled his eyes and said "I'll give you two minutes." ...yeah I wouldn't come here again. Clearly some employees were not trained on proper customer service. And if you're buying a new product, save yourself the time and order it online because everyone here seems very unwilling to help. read more

Excellent experience. I got a watch and Eduardo did a fine job getting everything going, including non-apple earphones & apps. Would be 5 stars if they had more people on the floor.

I was having difficulty erasing an ancient computer's disk that I wished to part with. An Apple Support tech on the toll-free line recommended he make an appointment for me at the Apple store. When I arrived, lugging my monstrosity, an employee named David rushed to my side, offering to carry it the rest of the way to the Genius Bar. I sat for awhile. Though I was on time for my appointment, it took several minutes before a tech came to help. The wait was worth it, for I had the most wonderful assistance from the exemplary, superlative, amazing, most patient, good-humored, kind Lily! She worked tirelessly to resolve my problem. She persevered when all hope was lost. She came up with a solution and saved the day. Also helpful was the ever cheerful, superb, top-notch lead technician, Jacquie. If I could give them each a gazillion stars for their excellent efforts, I most definitely would. All this for the grand ol' price of free! And free recycling too. Kudos many times over! read more
