Apple Business Connect: You're either a Shark, Shark bait, Or Shark s***. Today, Apple takes a MASSIVE bite on Yelp with its release of Apple Business Connect. Some several months now, I've made Apple Maps my go-to for places, both on the map, and for contact info, hours, pictures and RATINGS (!!!) (In case you missed it, you can recently add your own photos to an Apple Maps listings and help the Apple photo service wean itself from the likes of Yelp, TripAdvisor, OpenTable and others -- AND YOUR PHOTOS WILL ALWAYS BE THERE WHEN YOU GO TO THE LISTING under "my photos"; how many times have you wanted to find pics from a restaurant you visited, only to find them buried in hundreds of yelp pics?!) Now, businesses can actively take ownership of their listing "card" and be the source of the info instead of having to submit edits and corrections like us regular community-conscious folks concerned about accuracy, which must then be validated by moderators, and in apple world, no revenue gained by correcting info). The process (as you would expect from Apple) is simple and free. For us users, the experience is elegant and accurate. Now in Wallet, Messages and Maps, the listing cards features the beautiful and accurate content chosen by the owner. Wow. Check out La Colombe Coffee in Fishtown, Philadelphia, PA (my home town!) for an example. HERES HOW. Browse to Apple Business Connect Log-in with the AppleID you use for your business, and in a few simple steps, verify and claim your listing, and then take control of details, header images, logos, hours, list special deals, add reservation options and much much more. Action buttons include Ordering, Reservations, Tickets, Showtimes, Chat, Menu, and of course Call and Directions. If you have many locations, you can work through listing management agencies like Reputation, Rio SEO, SOCi, Uberall and Yext to have multiple listing cards managed. HINT (AND WITH A VERY HARD DOUBLE WINK) Apple reads and considers each and every feedback you submit to them about their products and services, even for ones that do not yet exist. If an idea makes sense, especially if it is detailed, and well-prepared, groundbreaking and amazing, THEY WILL DEVELOP AND RELEASE IT. I am not kidding. This is not a joke. Seriously. PERSONAL NOTE Next month I celebrate 15 years with the Yelp community and have worked tirelessly as an ambassador for restaurants and the folks who enjoy them, so you can imagine my keen interest in the "Business Listing" use cases and epics both for consumers and business owners. If you're a follower of mine, you have seen my frustration over the past year with the YES (yelp elite squad) committee's secret oversight and yelp's recent whitewash of business content to feature only 5-star content. Yelp put armies of snowflake moderators on the rolls to read each and every review and then suppress those which aren't gleamy. Elites are voting with Publish buttons on other platforms. Savvy yelpers puzzled by the strange lack of critical reviews on may also begin to look elsewhere. I'll for sure be promoting this tool with business owners and restauranteurs in my circles who are tired of the yelp kerfockery. Anyone have a red "poop scoop"? read more

Apple Enables App Subscription Scams -- No Refunds, No Accountability I was charged $129.43 for the "InStories" app through Apple's App Store, which falsely advertised a 7-day free trial. I never even opened or used the app before Apple charged me immediately after download. Despite canceling immediately and submitting multiple refund requests, Apple denied my refunds and refused to take responsibility. The developer of the app said Apple makes all billing and refund decisions, but Apple just shifts blame back to the developer. This bait-and-switch is happening to many users. Just check Apple Support forums, Reddit, and the Better Business Bureau -- there are dozens of complaints about this exact scam. Apple's customer service is unhelpful and evasive, refusing to investigate or refund despite clear evidence of deceptive billing. They profit from these charges but won't protect customers from fraudulent apps on their platform. I'm also suspicious about the legitimacy of this Google Business listing/location for Apple. Large companies like Apple often have multiple or misleading Google profiles, making it difficult for consumers to find the right place to get help or leave feedback. If you're thinking of buying apps or subscriptions through Apple, beware. Apple's platform is allowing scammy apps to bill you unfairly, and they don't offer proper support or refunds. This is a serious consumer protection issue that should be investigated by the FTC and state attorneys general. Just as fake this is , for this account is with 52 reviews, with amount of products they sell all over the world and this being their main address , location, you can see how none of this is authentic. This account probably gets deleted and someone starts a new one over and over again. Not sure why its aloud. read more

I'll spare their parents the embarrassment of naming names but Apple's Friday Night Baseball coverage is beyond amateur hour bad and for the life of me, I have a hard time reconciling that one of the planets premier technology companies would actually put their name on this abomination. The announcers and field reporters shriek, howl and giggle like a high school yearbook committee as they prove definitively that their knowledge of the teams and players is public relations superficial. Major League Baseball should honestly care about how their product is being damaged by this buffoonery but there are probably too many dollar signs attached to actually wake them from their monetized slumber. I'm sure they would say that the elusive younger viewers who they desperately want have to be constantly engaged and mesmerized by exploding graphics and overwhelming ADHD commentary. Have at it but for this fan, the product remains unwatchable. AppleTV remains a resounding disappointment. Game over. One star. read more

I have an 16 ProMax that has a problem syncing messages and a microphone that is sometimes choppy. I've spoken with 4 or 5 people at tech support and finally a senior tech said the phone needs to be replaced. I live about 40 minutes from their closest store in Portland, OR. I spoke with an unpleasant manager who said they would not hold a replacement phone for a day. That I just have to drive 80 minutes and pay parking and make as many trips as necessary until they have a replacement. What a jerk! He said it was company policy, so I sent a letter to Tim Cook about a month ago and never got a response. I'm looking into the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 to replace my crappy 1Phone. I'm told I won't be plagued by continual software updates like Apple has. Tim read more

Pretty cool office complex. Visited for a meeting, but toured the different areas of development, meeting spaces, other rooms and displays while meeting with other industry colleagues. They have a store connected for employees and can purchase apple team wear. Kinda near for souvenirs if any one really wants an apple T-shirt or hat. read more

Bought a Apple gift card as a birthday present from apple.com. Gift card never received. Called Apple, on phone and hold for 30+ min. Finally agreed to email gift card to other email address.. It never arrived, as promised, not in spam folder. Called Apple again next day and asked for refund, since eGift card never sent/received (apple knows it was not activated).. Was given run around, asked again for refund. Refund never arrived. Apple just lies and gives people run around, putting on hold several times 30+ min hoping they go away. read more

Their products are over hyped, over rated, over priced. They underperform. There are often many problems with the Mac. The computers have many bugs, and there has been no significant upgrade in years. Support is poor - often third world, usually time consuming, and often they do not get the issue resolved. Their politics are horrible by the way (we notice). The main thing this company does well is packaging - a bright new shiny package, for a clunking machine with poor support. read more

We lost everything in the Eaton fire. I have an iPhone 12 with a known factory defect that makes it impossible to hear calls. Apple support sent us on a wild goose chase to have it fixed by Best Buy and T-Mobile despite it being a factory defect acknowledged by Apple. Apple has refused to help us and the senior support agent was beyond rude and insulting. We are homeless and without a working phone. I am disgusted by Apple's treatment of us at our most vulnerable. I will NEVER touch another Apple product again. read more

Apple Shipping I purchased the Apple iPad Air 4th Generation and it was handled very smooth using my Apple Store application. They sent it well in advance of the date they promised. Apple Updates I'm giving them Four Stars as their products require constant updates. Now they changed the connections from the Lightning cord. I purchased the adapter and I downloaded my music and photos from my MacBook. I got the iPad with 256 gigs so I could move everything from the old MacBook. Apple products can create additional expense. Apple Features I like the iCloud sync of my notes, calendar, email and everything on all my devices. I now have five devices. My new iPad Air holds all my music and has a great sound. Conclusion I found you're either an Apple fan or not. I've come to the conclusion I'm a electronics addict. I hate the frustration of trying to get the device to do what I want. It's a challenge with Apple products. I'm hoping the challenges are keeping my elderly brain in shape! Recommendations I'm recommending Apple on line shopping. They have safe contactless delivery. They texted me every step of the way. My iPad shipped free standard delivery. It appeared to be sent overnight! Get the free Apple applications. I'm recommending their free classes that have resumed in stores recently. Learn as much as you can to stay current. My 93 year old Uncle has always used Apple Products. He just bought a new iPhone. I hope I can stay technologically active like he does!! read more

Apple use to have the best customer service. Lately it rivals the U.S.P.S. , TD Bank, and Spirit Airlines as the worst in customer service. I spent over an hour on the phone with Apple trying to learn about the new iPhone and make a purchase. I was so frustrated I hung up and tried again this morning. After calling their 800-275-2273# I asked to speak with a customer service manager about the crappy service I've been receiving lately. After being put on hold, I was transferred to sales. Once again I said I wanted to speak with a customer service manager. I was put on hold. 14 minutes and 11 seconds later, I was asked what I wanted so they could transfer me. I hung up. Apple SUCKS!!!!! read more

Just got apple TV online. Its not easy to do so when you don't have apple products. It made me sign in again yesterday on my samsung tv when it worked fine the day before. It then locked me out of my account and said I would need to wait a day for someone to email me that I can reset the password which worked just fine the day before. Don't have that issue with my other streaming services. If you make it difficult for your customers to do a simple password reset then close apple TV down. You look stupid and I will not be recommending apple TV to anyone. I will deter anyone to get it. Get your crap together! read more

I love the lore. I love the products. I have been an apple evangelist since 1994. I have had an apple sticker on my car for decades. I damn near worshipped Steve Jobs despite his human shortcomings. Now that you know who I am in relation to Apple... I am absolutely disgusted to my core with their support of the gside in P alestine. Until they stop it I will be sure to tell everyone I know just how I feel about Apple and what they're doing. read more

Apple has failed to warn its customers of a serious glitch in their service. 1) Anyone using an iCloud email on their iPhone for back up is at risk of losing access to all their data and contacts. 2) If they lose or damage the phone... and the stored password for the iCloud email on the phone ... the iCloud access will NOT CONTINUE on the new iPhone. .. if you forget the password or trigger a freeze after a few tries. In other words.. USE a NON iCloud email for your iPhone/ Apple account access... to make sure you can reset a password for your account. Because your stored rarely if ever used iCloud email will not be recoverable without the phone when damaged or lost AND the iCloud password being stored/ forgotten. They will NOT help ID you. They will keep years of data stuck in cyber space.. and have done to many including employees. 3) Customers have now, no iCloud password or the original iPhone. Even a new apple iPhone transfer will not include the last iCloud acct. 4) They will set up a new one and you will lose your first set of data. Lots of people are losing their data, if opened with an iCloud email. The customer service reps tried to help a few times taking hours and days of supposed wait time for security and tickets etc.. and one finally admitted it happened to one of them!!! Can't get back into their own account. 5) Blatant Consumer Indifference. Their email response to the NYS AG was so bad. It was dismissive, irrelevant to me, and showed no company name, no company address, no contact phone. Just a pic of an Apple? are you kidding. All to make sure no one calls the compliance people for assistance. Then it in boiler plate form, referred to a link suggesting using the email to reset... despite that email being an iCloud email which makes it ABSOLUTELY USELESS if iCloud email password is stored and now can now not be accessed. So it was a useless reply from an unidentifiable person. Apple DOES not care to respond in a helpful way to the NY AG. Typically that matters to a compliance person in a company not wanting to offend a state consumer protection office. Not Apple..... Nothing to worry about.. this is APPLE! 6) The only solution I can see is for Apple to have a class action for Trapping data, and not adequately warning consumers for all the frozen iCloud accounts. This happened two years ago and I do not plan to let my data go into the black hole of Apples too big to care nightmare. After this... I am back to our NY AG for an escalation. After that, onto the BBB. After that.... I will do it all again. And after that and before three years.. I will sue in small claims court where a local judge and mediator can decide if Apple wants a default judgment or to send a lawyer. I don't care how large and looming their company is.. ATT was forced to pay millions for not giving customer service. I want my data back and I don't want to hear they are helping "protect privacy". I am not trying to break into my own account. I can prove I am me in a hundred ways. Spend your money to Verify that I am me.... I have all forms of ID, the same phone number, and a the other dead iPhone in my hands given to your store to fix...I have a ton of references that I alone am me, and they could easily verify it but do not care to bother. They replied to the NYS AG with No Name, and No Phone.. What arrogance. read more

2nd Time Apple ID Account Hacked, Resulting in Subsequent Hack of Apple Devices Tied to Apple ID Account - Update - Part 3 - see prior posts I accessed my hacked Yahoo account to identify whether any additional Apple ID account information was generated by the person who hacked my account. Lo & behold... I found an email from Apple Support requesting I contact them at the phone number listed for my area via link: support.apple.com/en-us. I was surprised with the email response from Apple which must have been in response to my online posts, and not in response to the letter I was directed to submit to their Cupertino, CA corporate office since I specifically requested in my letter to only correspond with me by physical mail or telephone due to the extensive nature of the hack. On Friday, March 14, 2025, I phoned the Apple Support Desk at (800) 275-2273, accompanied by my daughter and a computer specialist. We initially spoke with representative - TC and sought provision of the information requested in the letter mailed to the Apple corporate office which consisted of: 1. All account activity tied to my Apple ID account which at the time they received my letter on January 3, 2025; I still had access to. 2. Provision of the full hacker's phone number ending in 31 in my Apple ID account that replaced my phone number, so that I can provide this information to my December 2024 police report for identification of the hacker. 3. The content listed in the iCloud account I did NOT create, for the Apple ID account I DID create. 4. Any identifying information tied to the fraudulent phone number ending in 31 listed in my Apple ID account. After TC placed us on hold to check receipt of the letter, she returned to the line and stated there was NO record of receipt of my letter to the Apple corporate office, despite my having proof to the contrary. She then conveyed that she was unable to provide us with the fraudulent phone number that was replaced by my phone number in my Apple ID account because the hacker now owns it. We pointed out how ridiculous that is since the Apple ID information requested resides on Apple's network and is in the custody of the Apple network group. We requested transfer to a supervisor. We next spoke with an Apple Support Technical supervisor who conveyed that none of the information I requested can be disclosed because Apple must protect the identity of the hacker who hacked MY account. After the shock passed regarding the response provided, we stated - "Apple wants to protect the identity of the hacker who hacked my account? The response was, "Yes." The hack of my devices now has an additional wrinkle involving a physical phone call recently being made to my appliance contract provider requesting cancellation of my coverage. This is now the 2nd time someone has hacked 2 different Apple ID accounts belonging to me, tied to 2 different devices, and I am now even prevented from creating a new Apple ID account to use the hacked devices, and Apple takes NO responsibility for the lack of security on the network they control, or a resolution for correction of access due to the hack. Since installation of any software on Apple devices requires customers create Apple ID accounts, I have now been prevented from using my devices due to my inability to create an Apple ID account since December 2024. Apple should just admit their network is NOT as secure as they purport it to be; cease functioning in the state of denial, and FIX, or at least address the issues! There are two widely reported news stories evidencing Apple's security issues: 1. During the 2014 Labor Day weekend, a huge leak of nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence, Rihanna, Kate Upton, Kaley Cuoco and almost 300 other celebrities had somehow been remotely accessed and shared via their iPhone accounts. Although Apple denied fault on their end; analysis of Kate Upton's phone showed use of both iBrute and Elcomsoft Phone Password Breaker software to acquire her iCloud credentials and access her information. 2. An April 21, 2022 National Public Radio (NPR) news story by Ronan Farrow regarding the Israeli NSO company's Pegasus software that can not only retrieve all information from any iPhone, but can also highjack the iPhone and camera and perform real-time surveillance without the user's knowledge. The article states that use of this software was believed to have contributed to the murder of Washington Post reporter - Jamal Khashoggi which resulted in an exodus of employees from the organization. To be fair, the Chinese and Russians also own these types of technologies. I in no way believe my data warrants use of this type of technology, but let's stop pretending that the Apple systems are unable to be hacked when evidence clearly exists that show otherwise. I am still unable to create new Apple ID accounts tied to my 2 hacked Apple devices. I receive a variety of errors, and the Apple Help Desk was unable to correct the issue. read more

When I purchased a new MacBook with a phone call in August I was promised, and agreed to, a certain price. The sales contract they sent mirrors that. Each month they charge me an amount well in excess of what the contract states. Since then they, and their bank(GoldmanSachs) have continually harassed me with dunning emails and texts that my account is overdue, which affects my credit rating. After 5 months of fighting a large corporation I am exhausted, so they win over the individual again. read more

My 16 Pro Max got wet. The keyboard did not work properly and mis-typed my password several times. I have been locked out of my Apple Account. I cannot send phone for replacement to Apple Care without first gaining access to my account as to turn off the "Find My Phone" feature. The lock-out period seems to be 5 days. Nobody can shorten this time frame, which is in itself ridiculous when I can show up to an Apple store with an ID. Anyhow, without my phone available I am unable to access my health portal, finance apps, banking apps, or pay my bills due to the 2 party verification. This is absolutely absurd. This may have been OK a few years ago before everything required 2 party verification, but this makes it impossible to do ANYTHING without access to ones phone. I now need to go buy an Android just to have a phone and hopefully keep my same number, but 15,000 pictures and all of my contacts will be gone due to this doo loop of account recovery. Every time I attempt to look and see my remaining time to reset my password I have to start a new clock. Apple products are great, their processes are absolutely STUPID! Why nobody can fix this problem is beyond me. read more

This company has no spine. They just bent over for an angry orange baby. Time to not only ditch Apple Maps (which was awful anyway), but time to let go of the iPad, iPhone and MacBook. So shameful.

Being a PC guy, I don't normally interact with Apple, but when I do it has been horrible. My kids use Apple products. When I recently ordered a laptop protective case from them, my iTunes account was locked out, after unlocking, I placed the product in my cart showing delivered by Thursday and after check-out, the shipping delivery became the following Monday. I went to MyUPS to change the delivery location to where I will be next Monday, and Apple prevents changes to delivery location for a case that cost less than $100. Had to have the item FEDEXed for another $100. Don't order from Apple on-line! And why did I put my feedback here? No way to submit feedback via Apple Store - only a bunch of phone numbers. read more

Got charged forApplications that I never approved or ordered. Did not notice charges until they ate through a gift card and started charging American Express. Charged one 29 times and another 5 times. Tried talking with Apple Care and got no where. Sent a letter to Corporate and got a return email to talk with Apple Care; email was also sent with no return. Will start looking for another source for Computers and phone. BYE BYE read more

Been doing upgrade programs for years. Have the approved Apple Card,.... Apple store cancels it? Refuses upgrade process- refuses their own card and has the worst glitchy non working order site. Shame on you Apple. Get your stuff together. Pre approved purchases are just that and getting up at 5am and have nothing work,... and everything go bad is beyond frustrating. Bummer is Apple has and has had this problem for YEARS All their money and they cannot get things right. At all,... year after year after year. Get your stuff in order, Apple. It's been way too long fir a fix. I enjoy Apple when I'm not prohibited from purchase,.. after I am already approved,.... Poor tech and bad tech support for their own purchase system. read more

First off, why is it virtually impossible to find the apple headquarters in Yelp? not I have also filed a complaint with BBB. I had an iPhone 12 Pro Max & traded it for a 15 Pro Max around Oct 2023. Apple continued to charge $13.49 a month for Apple Care on each phone for a year (totaling $161.88). Apple applied free unsolicited apps for 3 months then put the onus on the customer to cancel the subscriptions never requested. Why? I have paid for Apple Arcade @ 6.99, Fitness+ @ 9.99 & News @ 12.99$ per month for 9 months & have never used the apps (totaling $269.73)! All totals exclude taxes! When I caught the error tonight I called. Apple first only agreed to refund approximately $70.00 for the apps, required proof of trade for the 12 Pro Max then agreed to refund the $161.88. Apple expects me to lay down and give them $200 for free for an un-used product! This is greedy & predatory. It's no better than a Pay Day Loan system. Apple appears to think their customers are ignorant! This is a tech company and they can't figure out how to improve that aspect of their app? I smell large chunk a of BULL! It's PURPOSEFUL and Apple is banking on consumers forgetting to cancel. I'm sure APPLE has had thousands of focus meetings on how to swindle money from consumers legally! Why not set up your system to offer 3 months free then auto cancel as a cut does not approve the subscription? Customers would be prompted when access is denied. That is YOUR responsibility Apple, not your consumers. You're a MULTI BILLION dollar company and shaking down middle class Americans! This $200, YOU owe me, does not hurt you and YOU will likely write it off on your taxes; where as for me, it's gas, medication, grocery and bill money! Regardless of your stupid policy, you should offer leniency as you are capable of seeing the apps were never used! I am thoroughly disgusted & ashamed to acknowledge you treat loyal customers in this manner! I WILL FIGHT YOU TOOTH AND NAIL! I WANT EVERY SINGLE RED PENNY OF MY MONEY BACK from you catfish scheme! Apple, you're giving weak character & thirsty vibes! DO BETTER! read more

First I would like to state that I love Apples products. Been using them since late 1970's. Earlier this year I purchase an AppleWatch for myself. Loved it as well. It has great features for health, safety and emergencies. I decided on get one for my wife. In hindsight it was a horrible decision. First my wife's old iPhone did not support Apple Watches. So I upgraded her to an iPhone 12. Everything seemed OK except that the walkie talkie feature would not work. So we contacted apple support for help. After MANY hours on the phone with Apple the new iPhone bricked. Locked itself from too many attempts to get the walkie talkie to work. This was all done while doing what apple support told me to do. Of course it was all my fault according to apple. The phone was refurbished and we were unable to find its serial number. So....Ordered ANOTHER iPhone. This time an iPhone 14. Finally got ready to pair the Apple Watch with the iPhone. Only to discover that the Apple Watch was also locked!. It was all my fault according to Apple. This was after literally DOZENS of hours on the phone with Apple. I was promised return calls that never happened. Finally after TWO WHOLE MONTHS of battling Apple I gave up. I sent the Apple Watch, still brand new, unused and entirely paid for, back to Apple HQ. Surprise! Never heard back from them. After spending a thousand dollars and dozens of hours trying to correct it, APPLE RIPPED ME OFF! Apple Products are awesome. Apple Service is mostly 'peopled' by AI I am sorry to say it truly sucks. read more

I purchased a brand new Apple 12.9 ipad over a year ago, since then I have spent over 400.00 replacing the charging dock, and screen. Based own what the repair shop said. In order to replace the charging dock, you also have to replace the screen. Contact Apple after the charging dock went out, 2 days after the warranty was up. They refuse to fix it. Know the new screen went out. and I can not afford to fixit again. The repair shop own March Lane, had originally gave me a year warranty but said the vendor drop it to 90 days. My point is, Apple is not a vert good company to buy products from. Because also my Iphone 13 over heats and Apple will not replace it. read more

So disappointed. I have been talking to them for 2+ years and my iphone is still not fixed. All of my videos do not work for some reason. It says this iphone does not support them.. but my previous iphones work for the videos. I have talked to product support to try and figure out WHY it does not work. And they can not give me an answer.. they just say that they have never seen anything like it before and that I lost all my videos? Okay? They always give me same directions to wipe off my phone and replace it with the backup.. it still does not work. It is a mistake on there system and it should be fixed!! Horrible customer service. read more

I had over $1800 in fraudulent charges from Apple .com/bill. I don't even have any Apple products. After calling Apple to get a refund they informed me that they would be refunding me ~$1700 and it will take up to 30 days. Why I asked? Because they weren't going to refund the sales tax. How does that make any sense at all? The customer service rep sounded like she was almost laughing on the other end of the phone. I'm leaving it up to my bank who said they will be refunding me every cent that was fraudulently taken. Words cannot express how much I truly loathe this company now... read more

To whoever reads this, the Apple Cash does not work I have an Apple phone I have an Apple pad everything is good, but the Apple virtual card sucks. I need some compensation. I couldn't even go to work today because I didn't have gas. I have money in my account but every time I want to use the app, it says declined but it works everywhere else sometimes i've been on the phone with these people for an hour and a half and I asked for compensation didn't want to give it. I asked for stinking hundred dollars. they told me to do this they told me to do that they told me to go to settings they told me to do this. They told me to do that. Nothing works what I need is a good attorney to do a class action lawsuit against them through the Apple Cash and I'll be a millionaire billion dollar companies playing with me if somebody's reading this from Apple you can get a hold of me read more

M2 MacBook Air ordered at 5:13 a.m. PT on July 8th with an original delivery window of Jul 18 - Jul 25. On July 13th the delivery window moved to July 25 - Aug 1. Apple initially refused to cancel my pre-ordered unit, saying it is being prepared for shipping. I told them fine, I'll just refuse it when/if it arrives. What has happened to Apples customer care? I felt like I was talking to "Vinny" at Peach State Photo back in 1998, when trying to cancel this pre-order. "You ordered it, it's coming, what's the problem? Ba-da-bing!" read more

Apple Scam- Black Friday discount on their website turned out to be a scam. Nevr got a $100 gift card when I purchased a MacBook. LAMO customer service refused to help. They should fix their broken website. How can you trust them if they can't program a website? Rep called me and went over the process and admitted both their customer support is not up to par and the "gift card" is a charade. You pay the $100 and they discount your order $100. How is that a special deal? read more

A Certified Complaint letter from me was delivered to the Apple CEO on July 19-2024 regarding a $3 issue with iTunes, Apple Case ID: 102348071442. Spent no less than 4 hours on this issue. Spoke with multiple Senior Advisors on July 16-2024 who were not able to resolve my $3 issue. I have written negative feedback twice, emailed the CEO and have received no response. Apple Senior Advisors think nothing of chewing up 4 hours of my time for a $3 issue. They need cost justification training. I own 4 apple products. I will switch to a competitor for replacements. Apple has provided the worst customer support service I have ever received! When the CEO or his office does not respond to a certified complaint letter there is no other place to go when the top is of no help. read more

Let me start by saying your online customer service department is essentially worthless. I placed an order online for some products, using my Apple Store balance to cover the purchase. This was an accumulation of gift cards that I had logged into my account. The funds were enough to cover the purchase and I patiently awaited delivery of the items. I happened to log in to the account to check the status of the order only to find that it had been canceled for no reason or notification (no email or text). I logged in and started a chat with the customer support person. They validated all my information, then told me that the order got canceled because my credit card rejected the charge. ?????? Wait, I didn't order on my credit card, I used a positive Apple Store balance to cover 100% of the expense. The CS rep continued to state that it was something to do with my credit card, but couldn't tell me anything more. I pushed back and tried to explain that it was paid for with my Apple Store balance and NOT my credit card. I also explained that my address and credit card on file were all valid, but again that shouldn't make a difference since I paid with my Apple Store positive balance. This went back and forth for over 30 mins until the CS Rep just ended the conversation. Very frustrating as I wanted to understand the problem so I could fix whatever might be the issue, but I really don't know what the issue is. I checked with my credit card and they said that no charge was ever sent over for approval AND the card that I have on file with Apple is in fact valid and active. I would recommend that Apple work with their CS Team to become better at trying to help customers AND not just hang up on them when they don't know how to get to an answer. read more

Worst mistake I made was switching from my Android to an IPhone. Apple is a bunch of crooks. I've had nothing but problems paying out of the ass for their shitty service. I'm canceling. I requested a refund from a purchase and they denied me. read more

Do not deal with Apple's trade-in program. In an Apple Store I presented my Generation 7 iPad and was told by a store manager that it was in "mint condition" and offered me $110 for a trade-in on the spot if I bought the new iPad Generation 10 I was looking at. I went home to consider this, then called Apple with some questions about the Generation 10. The sales representative asked me some questions about my Generation 7 and told me the trade in value would be $110. I purchased the iPad 10 over the phone and was sent the trade-in kit to send in my iPad to receive my trade-in amount. I then received an email from Apple saying the trade-in value was revised down to $25 because their inspection showed a "bent device without evident screen lifting." Like a fool I accepted this offer. But then I got to thinking about it and did some research online and found dozens and dozens of complaints from people who had attempted a trade-in of their iPad only to be told the same thing - "bent device without evident screen lifting." Google that phrase and you'll see what I mean. I called Apple and was given the complete run around, basically saying they had to go with the decision of the inspectors - in spite of "bent device without evident screen lifting" being the default response one gets from Apple when trading in an iPad. As a loyal Apple customer since 1986 (yes, you read that right), I will give serious thought to the purchase of any further Apple devices, and certainly will never trust their trade in process again. In short: I feel cheated and my situation dismissed out of hand by Apple. read more

An OS update caused my ipad to stop working and enter support.apple.com/ipad/restore screen. I followed the process to recover but kept getting an error 'The iPad[device name] could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (4013).' Mind you: there is no physical damage to the device. It looks brand new with no marks or scratches. It has never been opened. After spending hours with support I was presented with one choice: spend $281 to send it in for repair. This is essentially buying a new iPad, not support. When I explained this is a lie to call it support when it is essentially a new purchase, I was escalated four times. I figured, "now I am getting somewhere". I then asked if destruction of people's devices without any consequence was something Apple found acceptable, the 4th level technician said "No" and when I asked how Apple would know whether this is occurring he insisted that Apple would never want this to occur. And so I asked how Apple would know if, as he indicates we are out of support options? He then hung up on me. I advise everyone to avoid Apple products. They are great when they work, but Apple takes no responsibility for updates that destroy your device and does not even have a way to identify when this occurs. They ignore that it occurs in fact. I am now going to sell it for parts to avoid greater losses. The funny thing is, I was sooo enthusiastic about getting the device. It is very sad when a brand falls from grace like this. read more

I bought a "clean up" app for my Apple I Phone 13 for $59.99 and installed it. After 24 hours, it was still cleaning my photos and there was no way to exit the app or this function. I asked for a refund immediately. I got a response, via text, that they needed more info so I supplied all the details. I got a response that the refund was denied. I appealed and they let me add more details but, 24 hours later, it was denied again. I then navigated their menu and actually talked to a live adviser who basically said "tough luck". I told her that I was on a fixed income and she did not care. I said that they could charge me something but not the full $59.99 but she said that nothing else could be done. I threatened to write Tim Cook about the entire situation and she, actually, chuckled. I have emailed twice, and written an actual letter, to Tim Cook with no response. Beware if you install an app from I Tunes and it doesn't work for any reason. There is no refund policy. read more
