Clean and easy to get to location. Staff is friendly and quick to help with purchases.

UPDATE: I escalated the incident to a senior advisor in corporate apple support, and after explaining the issue to him, he was able to get me a replacement phone. He agreed that the claim of liquid damage based on a visual photo of a part was subjective, and no liquid contact indicator had been triggered. After about 12 hours of my family time wasted over Easter weekend and spilling into the following week, I was finally able to get this resolved. But it shouldn't have had to come down to all this. Raphael / Rafael and the technician who "repaired" (more like damaged) my phone should be terminated for incompetence and lack of integrity. At the very least learn to communicate better and recognize when the cookie cutter script from the company training manual just isn't working for the situation. I went into this service appointment thinking about signing up for the Apple credit card since I manage apple device purchases for my family and extended family (a dozen folks and multiple devices per), and I came out of it thinking I might finally pull us all completely out of the Apple ecosystem. read more

Great apple location, much more attentive than the ones in San Francisco. Went in for a screen protector and was out in less than five minutes. Your mileage may vary. read more

Do not shop at this location. They will lie to you about fixing your product and instead charge you for a new one with no reasoning.

Very bad experience on my visit, today most of the staff didn't treat me well, they look at you badly, they are racist and classist for speaking Spanish read more

I've always been a fan of Apple products, but I definitely didn't have a good experience during my last visit to this location. I went in to return an accessory, and the employee I worked with kept questioning me about why I wanted to return it and honestly tried to make me feel bad for not wanting the item. It was so awkward to say the least. The accessory wasn't even pricey, but he made it seem like I was trying to return a used iPhone lol. I usually expect service here to be speedy and professional, but this interaction felt really unnecessary. If you're just looking to do a quick return, hopefully you get a different rep than I did! read more

Best Apple Store by a mile if you have any issues whatsoever service with a smile, they've never let me down yet

Smooth transaction. Placed order when we were at lunch, and I was given an estimated time for pickup. Order was ready before ETA, and everything was communicated efficiently via text/email. At pickup, there was minor hiccups and a lot of sales talk trying to get us to buy more stuff. Didn't seem to genuine, just wanting to get extra sales. Overall still pretty efficient pickup process. read more

Apple Burlingame - Computers Near Me - Burlingame, California

Brought my MacBook in because the battery was draining quickly and it needed to be replaced. (Already annoying that I couldn't just click in a new battery like I did with my prior laptop.) Waited a half hour despite my appointment. Finally told that "good news, we have the battery" but I would have to leave my laptop there for 3 to 5 days. I said why that long and they said they had other repairs "in queue". So I said "well I live 5 minutes away, so why don't I put my name 'in queue' and you just call me when you have time to do it and I'll bring it right in?" Response "well it could be 2 days." Me: "OK, that would be fine." Tech: "You have to leave the laptop here." Me: "So it just sits there waiting while no one works on it?" Tech: "yes, that is just how we do things." Me: "And how is that good customer service?" Tech: "I can check another store but that is all I can do." So I took my laptop to the repair person a block away, he ordered the battery, it will be here tomorrow and he will replace it in 30-45 minutes. Good to know next time there is no reason to be at the mercy of Apple's dumb policies. read more

I've shopped there many times bought many products because I love Apple. My old Apple Watch needed a new batteries so I took it there. They said they have to send it out , no problem... So I gave him the watch filled out all the paperwork and then I walkedfour blocks to my car and they call me saying OK we need a payment ahead of time. Can you come back and pay it? I said no problem... I go back there and I go to pay with Apple Pay because I only have my phone with me and I was gonna use Apple Pay... Oh sorry sir we don't take Apple Pay!....what?? You invented Apple Pay... Oh, it's an out service that we don't do it. We need a physical card... Give my damn watch back to me. I'm not doing this cause I'm not walking four blocks back to my car or something you guys should be able to do... Apple Store not being able to take Apple Pay ridiculous... But the people there were nice read more

Super great experience buying and having them install a screen protector. Friendly and excellent installation. Had good advice on other products. read more

When the store opened I was first in line. I claimed that I needed help because I was not really good with techi things. A man who I believe was the manager from way he talked to employees refused to help me with my brand new I phone. I explained that I just bought the phone from my carrier at XFINITY. He kind of snidely said congratulations. Weird guy. I'm 80 and all I needed was for someone to help me set up my phone as far as security. He kept asking me if I had my passwords and I kept saying yes! Then he says loudly "no we will not help you because everything is self explanatory." All I needed was to be sure my phone was set up securely. I had to ask a friend to help me which doesn't say much for Apple. That's twice people have been rude at that Burlingame store. I also heard this from two other lady friends as well but I needed help so I went back. Never again. Apple has changed. read more

I hate to be that guy, but I'm going to have to be. I spoke to nearly the entire staff today one by one. Each told me something different. I was early for my genius appt. I understand they are busy, but one lady said at 5pm oh we can check you in early in about 5 mins. Well she was busy after that 5 mins so I went to someone else. He said check in around 5:30pm. Then one guy said check in at 6pm. Then I THOUGHT I had checked in with one guy who told me to just sit and wait. I sat til my appt time watching as people were being helped all around me. Then it was after my apt time so I went to verify with one Asian dude with a grey wave hair. Just completely ignored me. Then checked with someone else to verify I was checked in and he said no you're not checked in. Unreal. I had been there for nearly 2 hours at that point. Then 40 mins later I was finally helped. The system is kinda broken. Help first come first serve please! read more

Had an appointment for 10:05am and wasn't seen until 10:40am. After that wait, and knowing that I had made an appointment for a defective camera on my iPhone, they told me I had to drive to Hillsdale because they didn't have the parts needed. My iPhone is brand new and under warranty so they should have just replaced it but refused to do so. What should have been a simple swap for a phone turned into an entire day ordeal of me driving all over the peninsula. This will likely be the last iPhone that I purchase and I'll definitely never return to this store again. read more

Going to the Apple Store is always painful for my wallet however, the service I had yesterday was excellent and it was all thanks to Lemuel! Lemuel was patient, kind, and took the time to explain everything to me even with my many many questions. He was personable and professional and made my experience great. Thank you Lemuel! read more

Apple Store Burlingame is amazing! I received a new iPhone 17 Pro at Apple Palo Alto at Univercity Avenue, spent there over 2 hours to set it up and left the store with phone still not working. 8 different people supposed to work on my phone, leaving me waiting and promising that the next guy will finish the job.Terrible management of the store! Next day at the Burlingame store, despite being late for appointment, at the end of the working day , with the help from Toni and Stephen the phone was activated and working! in 20 min! What a difference! Thank you Stephen and Toni for a great job! Leo Swanson, a thankful customer. read more

I had an excellent experience at the Apple Store in Burlingame, thanks to Ayman and Ronnie. I couldn't figure out why my child couldn't receive Apple Cash payments from my phone. I decided to visit the store and get help. Ayman and Ronnie quickly identified and resolved a rather complex issue: a myriad of the parental settings and payment options across 3 different devices (my phone, and child's iWatch and iPhone.) Both were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and friendly throughout the process. Their expertise and customer service were top-notch. I highly recommend this Apple Store and especially Ayman and Ronnie for their exceptional support. read more

My son's iphone had a severely damaged screen. I have TMobile 360 coverage, but since it's under Apple Care, I had to go to Apple for repair. I set an appointment for Best Buy through the Apple website. Best Buy didn't have the parts, so they sent me to the Apple Store. My experience at the Apple Store was smooth. All the employees were super nice and helpful. They took me in as "walk in" and repair took around 90 minutes as promised. There's easy parking in a lot and on the street. Sometimes gets busy, so you might need to circle a little. Next time, I'm going the Apple Store first, if the phone within the first 2 years and it's still covered under Apple Care. No need to go the the carrier for insurance repair. read more

I like the store , the staff is very friendly and professional they know what they're doing for the big issues, but there are some holes. I thought getting my email situated would be easier. Someone suggested that I get a new phone then rescheduled me for next day because they were too busy..So went to the next store it took an hour to basically get the same results. So leaving a little confused, I went home and within 20 minutes I solved the problem myself. But I'll be back for future problems if they should occur read more

The workers are so helpful and friendly to address any questions. Thanks Dustin and Gianna for your great help!

This review is for Teddy. He helped my brother get set up with his new school laptop. Was very helpful and knowledgeable and let us know which laptop would best suit my brother's needs. He was very friendly and helpful right off the bat :) When we were done he wished my brother safe travels and good luck this semester. Thank you Teddy! read more

Was not met not treated with friendly customer service. Have been a loyal apple customer for years and clearly their level of customer care and customer satisfaction is not what they are motivated by. More so to constantly try to upsale and talk you into newer product. read more

We went around 6ish pm, perfect time to go. Shout out to the whole team at Apple. Super nice and welcoming. Appreciated DJ for being so patient in explaining simply the process in buying, transferring data to my new iPhone! Also staff member Wil, was great too! Would recommend making any Apple purchases here. In fact, we're going back today to have my roommate purchase his iPhone from this location. Thanks for the seamless experience!! read more

I've been waiting with an appointment. Employee told me he would check me in in a few minutes. Never did. There are 8 employees standing around and talking. Store is practically empty. 2 customers. read more

The worst customer service experience I've ever had at an Apple Store, which isn't that high of a bar to begin with. All associates do is just sit around and talk amongst themselves while customers standing around waiting to be helped. All repairs take twice as long as originally quoted so be sure to free an entire half day if you need anything repaired. Just terrible. read more

This is my first time using Discount Plumbing for a water heater replacement. Elmer came to give an estimate, and the price quoted was very reasonable. The technician , Josue, did a wonderful job-he kept the job site clean afterward. I'm happy with the work and highly recommended Discount Plumbing. read more

I went in for help with a backup drive issue. I had to leave for five minutes to feed the meter, as parking is a nightmare in Burlingame. Apple staff assured me they would keep an eye on the computer as it was running a check that would take some time and had to remain hardwired in. I came back and my brand-new cable and power brick were both gone, although at least the computer was still there. No one knew where it went, and initially they were not helpful at all. Either someone stole it, or it ended up mixed in with other Apple hardware they use for testing. After I made about ten phone calls to Apple HQ, the store did eventually replace the items, which I appreciate, but I had to be a very squeaky wheel. Lesson for them as well as me: Even if an employee says they'll watch your stuff, don't take your eyes off it. And the employee shouldn't offer to do so. read more

This is the worst apple store experience ive ever had every time i come here to buy anything. Who knew buying a phone could feel like a pyramid scheme/dealing with a car salesman. Please read the fine print and ask all the questions possible before making a purchase as sales are final on literally the second you sign you can change your mind a moment after even when they disclose to you that something so obviously assumed like data transfer cant be done. All the mean while you just came in a service repair but now was upsold a whole other used phone because the techs were incompetent, im a mechanic i can hear bullshiț when its spoken and thats what i got from the fake ah apple tech that helped me. Go to att first and explore all your options before going here and when you finally do go here be prepared with all the questions like a lawyer cause this place has schemes on you with their faț salt n straw fingers read more

I'd never bothered to look at the rating for this store as I've usually had good support at this location and others. However, I just had the worst Apple support experience in decades as a customer. There is a defect with iPhone 15 line that causes the NFC chip to become disabled when the phone is wirelessly charged in certain newer BMW vehicles. Apple has sent out a service bulletin to all stores that states that the phone must be replaced and cannot be repaired. Now, im not surprised to see it's so low. Apple phone support looked up and found the issue mentioned in the bulletin. They offered to replace my phone by mail or that they'd make me an appointment to get replaced at the Burlingame location. I chose the option of going to the store. That was a mistake. The staff member that assisted me first was perfectly nice and did what he could. The problem was the lady that claimed to be a manager. While three separate phone support agents immediately looked up and found the service bulletin, the manager refused to do so. She insisted that there was nothing in the case notes and refused to help. She insisted I had to wait hours for a same day repair for a problem Apple explicitly states is unrepairable. I quickly tired of her laziness and unwillingness to help and left. Called back phone support and now Apple is sending me a replacement phone by mail because the phone is unrepairable. The phone support team was fantastic throughout this. The young man who first helped me in the store was perfectly nice too. In general, I've been very disappointed with apple's repair services and AppleCare. I used to have Verizon's extended warranty plan and anytime a phone so much as hiccuped, they'd send me a new one overnight. I'm going back to that. I won't be going back to this location. The ones at Hillsdale and Stonestown are better. read more

There were so many things wrong with upgrading my iPhone at this store. I should have gone with my gut instinct of going to Hillsdale. The store rep tells me my phone won't be activated and sure enough I loose the service on my existing phone. The worst customer service. read more

This was one of the first Apple stores I ever went to back when they first opened and it's awesome to see the transformation this store has taken over the years. Amazing design. With covid restrictions, if you need something fixed, you gotta make a reservation. They are busy, and had to book my appointment a week out. My AirPods Pro had been acting up pretty much since I bought them when they first came out, but didnt think twice about taking them in until my friend told me they had a recall on them! My pair had crackling noises and the pro features were useless. Ppl complained that background noise was an issue, so I took them into the store to have em checked out. The staff was super helpful and they were able to test my current pair and they in fact did need to be replaced. AirPod pros carry a two-year warranty, and they replaced them for free. The new pair is night n day better compared to my og set. So long story short, if you have AirPod pro probs, best to bring it it and have them test them. I'm a sucker for new apple products. While I was in there I also swooped up an HomePod mini. Turns out they aren't seamlessly compatible with Spotify yet, and can't airplay to the home pod from my laptop. Bummer but at least they have a 14-day return policy. Overall, the experience here has always been pleasant, will continue to shop here for my apple needs considering I hate waiting for things to ship lol read more

I did not have to wait long. I was greeted immediately. I would definitely go back when necessary.

There was a time when you bought an Apple product, not only were you walking out the door with a product that was cutting edge and designed beautifully, but you left with confidence knowing that your loyalty and spend was going to be rewarded with world-class service. Over the last two months I've had a couple of issues with two fairly new products, a 14" MacBook Pro and a pair of AirPod Max's. Total cost of this gear, close to three grand. In both instances, the resolution was to send both devices back in at exorbitant repair costs, $700 for a jammed key, and $300 for AirPods that wouldn't pair anymore. Other resolutions included buying an external keyboard (just spend more money) or "maybe you should buy AppleCare next time." And I get it. At the end of the day there's a transaction, there's warranty coverage, etc. But I think there's something to be said about customers, like me, who have supported apple for a quarter century, before it was as big of a company as it is now, when they looked at issues like these and took care of them with confidence. And that made it worth it. But now we get faulty hardware at ridiculous prices. Repairs that cost almost as much as new devices. It's just a different Apple. I know at the end of the day, my experience is just one voice in a busy world where people don't have time to listen to other people's problems, and that I'm fortunate to have the means to purchase Apple products. But I feel insulted. And nobody gives a fuck. Certainly not Apple. read more

I upgraded my Jurassic iPhone 5S to an 8. When the 8 came out last year I knew I wanted to get it, but had to wait due to...I'm poor. I finally did last week after the price dropped by $100. I've always had good experiences with the staff at the Burlingame store. It was no different last week. I knew it there would be a wait, but it wasn't that long. After checking in, I was told I'd be helped when the next Specialist was available. After about 15 minutes Teddy asked me what I wanted and I told him the 256GB 8 (oh, yeah). He first asked him if I had backed up my date onto iCloud. I sheepishly said, no. No problem, he did it for me. We sat at one of the long tables in the back--and kudos to Apple for the redesign--where he began setting up the 8 with my profile (i.e. fingerprint ID, passcodes, etc). The whole process took less than 20 minutes and then he recommended I charge my new phone there. While waiting, I also picked up a case. The Burlingame store is my go-to store. And a hearty thank-you to Teddy for making this process so quick & easy! read more

Very helpful visit. I made an appointment online the day before to try on the Apple Watch 6. I am undecided between the 40 and 44mm faces. I am petite, and worried that the 44 inch would be too large for my wrist. The watch face isn't too large on and is easier for aging eyes to read texts. I like the gold color, but the silicone band does not come in pink, which is a nice color match for the watch frame. Not sure which I'll choose. read more

I love having a store on burlingame Ave. it's so convenient and everyone is so nice. I was able to easily pickup my online order and return an item. I just wanted to give kudos to Jeanny (sp?) for helping me with my complicated order and for walking me through the potential differences between the iPhone Belkin and the Ottor box screen protectors. And also the watch bands. Thx for the outstanding customer service!!!! read more

Worst service (if you can call it that) EVER! . A Mgr named Sven walks around with his head where the sun doesn't shine, while trying to look important. He's a joke! Anyway, spent over 1K on a new phone & was harassed to the point of embarrassment there. Once I purchased the phone, service turned off like a light switch. They only care about the purchase.. Amateur staff & watch out for the older Karen. She's a nasty witch! Avoid her like the plague. Take a peek at the many other bad reviews & you'll see what I mean. Go elsewhere! read more
