Went in yesterday to pick up a new iPhone and all three associates that assisted me were super friendly, personable and customer friendly. Service at this location is far better than some of the others in the area like Pentagon City Mall. read more

I don't blame this specific Apple Store or their employees for my dissatisfaction. In fact, I have lived in DC for over 10 years and have had many good experiences at the Georgetown Apple Store. My issue is the multiple hoops you must jump through to get in contact with the actual store. For example- last week I called in to see if the specific screen protector I needed was in stock. I was told (by an online sales rep) that yes, it was in stock and no, I didn't need an appointment to pick one up. Well, I travel 50 minutes via public transport to the store only to see an enormous line of people. Once there, I was told that the product I want is being recalled and I would have to book an appointed (for the next day) to shop at the store. It's not their fault, but it is SUPER frustrating. I've now booked an appointment at the Version store to get my issue fixed. It's not ideal, but at least I won't be lied to. read more

Amazing staff and everything is always in stock. Always love going to this Apple Store.

Came here as a walk in before the 5 o'clock crowd, which I highly recommend coming before unless you have an appointment because it gets really busy. Every apple worker is very friendly and super cooperative. The actual Apple Store is by far one of the biggest I've been to, very spacious even when it's busy. This is also the only Apple Store I've been to that has a bathroom I can use which is extremely clean! #SCORE It's also in the heart of downtown Georgetown, so if you need to kill time or a quick bite to eat then you have plenty of options in walking distance! read more

Apple Georgetown - This Apple Store is HUGE! - Computers Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Y'all suck, how you gonna "fix" a laptop and return it completely wiped? Whats the point of fixing it if I'm starting from square one??? Very disappointed read more

Me and my wife love our new iPhones (iPhone 6s & iPhone 6s plus) - but to get them it was a pain! We booked an appointment in the Apple Store in Georgetown and we get there first thing in the morning to stand in-line for 30 minutes!! By then I gave up on the apple watch and almost gave up on the phones! Next time I will order the phone to my house... Apple - i think you guys can do better than that.. read more

Apple Georgetown - Our new iPhones (: - Computers Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I've been vacillating about joining the MAC and iPhone revolution for some time now, so I made a trip to the Apple Store to check out the goods for myself. The spacious store has stations set up on either side of the room, where you can try out the latest iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air. There was at least three of each type of device on display, so I didn't have to wait in line to play around with any of them. Each time I thought of a question, there was a friendly employee within earshot who was willing and able to answer my question. The staff members gave me in-depth answers to the questions I asked. It was evident that they were knowledgeable about the products and were genuinely interested in providing excellent customer service. Best of all, they made no pushy sales pitches, which has always been my biggest turnoff when visiting other electronics stores. Clearly, the Apple store is not just your regular run-of-the-mill electronics retail store - it's an experience. While I didn't make a purchase during my initial visit, I can truly say that I was won over by the incredible products and service. I walked into the store a PC diehard and walked out a MAC lover. read more

Disappointed with my recent visit to this location. I had pretty good experiences here in the past (going back about 6 years), but the quality of service seems to have declined. The Apple products themselves are still good. But the customer experience at this store isn't what it used to be. Some of it might be related to COVID19 though I also sort of doubt that since it's now late summer 2021. Almost everyone in DC is vaccinated. Almost everyone was in there without a mask. So that's not it. There were 2 main issues. The first is what looked like a general lack of available staff. I was surprised when I had to spend some time and effort to find someone to "help" me, and by help I mean I wanted to simply purchase something, giving Apple about 100 dollars with a transaction that takes about 90 seconds. There didn't seem to be many employees around and the ones I saw were either busy or sort of oblivious. Some of them were borderline rude. Apple should consider spending more money to hire better people since customers are going in there and often spending over $1,000 on a phone and often over $2,000 or even $3,000 on a computer. Some customers go in and spend north of $4,000 depending on what they're purchasing. I'm also planning on buying a new Apple computer in the near future. One that costs above $1,700 . I might go to a different location. A certain quality of service is expected when products are so expensive. read more

Cult of personality. Apple is trendy enough not to need strong customer service. I came for service on a bricked Apple TV and was helped in about 20 minutes. There were people everywhere though apparently few qualified to help me. I have a few Apple devices but do not buy into the cult. The store is probably great for the converted, which I am not. To me, it was light on service with more shine than substance in the products. read more

Hard to be happy about spending $109 to get a cracked iPhone screen fixed but I was the least sad one could be after doing so at the Georgetown Apple Store. Made the appointment online (first appointment was 3 days out which isn't ideal but better than waiting in line for hours). I arrived and was promptly greeted by a host who directed me to a waiting area at the back of the store. The representative arrived and asked me to come back in an hour. I walked over the Baked and Wired, had a cappuccino and a cupcake, and by the time I was done lounging in the coffee shop, an hour had passed. I walked back to the store, was greeted by the same host, and directed to the back. I waited maybe five minutes, paid by credit card and was given what looked like a brand new iPhone! They were able to repair it without issue. Great service with a good online and in person experience. read more

Make an appointment online first (or over the phone) if you expect to get prompt service. This store didn't seem to be staffed well and the wait was several hours just to have an iPhone issue analyzed. I think they can do better than that. Hire more people, train them well, and have staff on hand to assist with the less complex issues. In a perfect world, customers would think to make an "appointment" hours or a day in advance, but life happens. read more

Amazing staff. Amazing store. Amazing team player skills displayed when I went to purchase simple AirPods. Everyone was SO eager to assist me and my family. read more

Honestly if I could give the customer service here a zero I would. Worst customer service in DC. Was told to take my questions to another store and they they have spent enough time with me. Absolutely terrible and Apple does not care. Needs a total changing of employees . Go to Carnegie. Worth the extra time and effort. read more

Good luck if you try calling them on the phone. They also seem very understaffed in the store. Apple makes insane profits - hundreds of billions of dollars over the years - and they can't reinvest a tiny fraction of that into customer support? read more

This Apple Store is my favorite in DC. Tucked away just off the main strip of Georgetown, it's a huge Apple Store with every Apple product you can think of including a large genius bar to help you with any need. The staff are friendly and very efficient. I've never spent more than 5 minutes there from the time I walk in, buy something, and walk out. read more

Apple Georgetown - Computers Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

See all

There was a lot of fuss when Apple unveiled this store, not only because of the storefront's huge windows and large glowing logo openly rebelled against Georgetown's strict building uniformity codes, but also because it was DC's first and only Apple store. Saving we Washingtonians from having to venture out into the 'burbs for all things Apple awards you your first star, Apple store. And being a true flagship store, wrestling with the neighborhood commission to redesign a beautiful store, featured in regional architecture blogs for its flow, energy, and natural lighting gives you your second. Allowing patrons to bring their bikes into a store in what is easily one of the least bike friendly parts of town gives you your third. While hiring knowledgable, courteous Washingtonians with an eye for customer service awards the fourth. And the fifth star?: apparently Apple stores are our nation's largest chain of internet cafes. Few things ease weary feet like visiting an Apple store and surfing the web on a computer you'll buy "when you get your money right." May as well give this five stars, folks, unless you want to trek out to Tyson's or Crystal City for an Apple store. read more

Apple Georgetown - Computers Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Surprised I was able to secure genius bar appointment by walking in on a busy Sunday night. This has never happened. The store is big and spacious, and the Genius Bar section is in the back of store, and you can secure appointment there. It was odd because when I looked online it said the Genius Bar was booked all week, yet they had appointments when I had just walked in. Although the Genius Bar offered some solutions to our defective Apple problems which required getting screens and displays replaced for the cost of $150-$259 for iPhone and Apple Watch (the watch screen apparently cost more to replace than iPhone phone screen and defective microphone which is crazy!), I was impressed that they were able to run diagnostic tests that was not available on their website to determine the issues with the phone. However, with the prices Apple is charging to replace screens and parts (minus their recent $29 replacement battery charges), I have determined I do not want to spend any more money at Apple due to their ridiculous repair prices which cost as much as trading in your phone for another overpriced item that may or may not be faulty after a year. This place gets a whole extra star for its clean bathroom!! To get there, go through the door at back of store, go down an elevator to basement. read more

Bottom line, we were ready to buy a new iPhone, but they let us walk out empty-handed simply because they didn't want to manually transfer our phone content to the new phone in-house. Here's the rundown: Entered immediately ready to buy an iPhone, full-price, no sales help needed. Easy sale. The only catch was it was for my older in-laws, who have zero familiarity with iTunes (which sucks anyway), iCloud, or how to do the iCloud back-up that Apple will mislead you to believe is the single solitary way to transfer content to a new phone. It isn't. They can do it. Further, my in-laws laptop was hundreds of miles away, so even if the preceding was no factor at all, they still couldn't DO a backup. "You can do it at home, then come back here for the trade-in." Did you not hear me say their laptop is hundreds of miles away? We aren't driving back here afterwards! "But you can buy more iCloud space for 99 cents." I know that. "That's a recurring monthly charge, right?" I asked. "Yes." Ok so it's not really 99 cents. "And it's automatically recurring after a year, right?" I ask. "Yes, but you can cancel." Folks, I came to buy a phone, an expensive one, not commit to repeat trips, not to have my in-laws sign up for a storage subscription they don't need, and not to have to cancel later. I'm sure Apple is perfectly fine with them forgetting to cancel later on, but I digress. I know they can transfer phone content in-house manually (especially for a half-empty 16 gb phone!) because they've done it for me several times on phone much larger. But they don't even bring up that option. So I asked. "We can but it takes a long time and we have a slow connection." It took 20 minutes for my chock full 64gb phone, so it's doubtful it would take even that long for a half-empty 16gb phone. "It would be faster for you to do it at home then come back here and do the trade-in." Did you hear me mention their laptop was hundreds of miles away? No, it would be faster for YOU if I went home and did the work and then came back later. I also noticed it was 45 minutes til closing time. So we left empty-handed. So disappointing. A sale doesn't get much easier than that. read more

My son has a Mac book pro and the stupid telephone support messed up a simple wipe out hard drive and re install Monterey os. School starting coming Monday and laptop does not boot up. Long story short I had no appointment and a lady name Christina not only made my day. But in fact took me to the Genius Bar area. And she re installed the OS. And got it back to factory settings right on the spot. Kiddos to Christina. Thank u Christina. read more

Yup, it's a standard Apple Store, but in Georgetown so it comes with extra dose of snobbishness on the side. The wait is terrible. Don't even try to ask any questions. No sales rep will ever be available. It's always crowded. In summer, people come in for the cool air. In winter, people cram in for warmth. If you are thinking of driving here, forget about it. The traffic barely moves in Georgetown. If I must buy things Apple, I would rather buy things online than to have to come into this store. read more

I scheduled an appointment online specifying it was for a cracked screened. Took time off work to get to my appointment. Once I got there after waiting for a few minutes the "genius" told me they can't fix screens today because one of their equipments have been out of order. When I asked couldn't you have emailed me and saved me the travel he responded "we can't email everyone" He was very rude and dismissive and not once looked up from his iPad during our whole conversation. Seriously ? You are a tech company and in the age of communications you can't inform your customer their appointment time can't be honored? Very disappointed and displeased with the whole interaction. read more

I needed a new phone and had already researched online to know what model I wanted. I walked in and walked out with my new phone in 5 minutes. Service was quick, professional, and friendly and they didn't try to upsell me on more storage or a more expensive model. Great, easy experience! read more

I wouldn't recommend this place at all I waited here almost half an hour got nothing solved They do discriminate people on how they look Last time I came with my boyfriend he was wearing suit and tie and we got our problem solved ASAP with no trouble today I came and they did discriminate me as how I look which I was wearing sweatpants and hoodie If you want a better service go to pentagon city Apple they are the best and Tyson's corner Apple store Georgetown Apple sucks plus the manager guy if you reading this you should better learn how to be nice to your customer and fix your attitude read more

My Genius Bar assistant Vanessa did not even pretend to try to resolve the technical issue with my phone not charging and therefore not turning on. She didn't even try a force reset, simply stating that there had been water damage. She was extremely rude during the entire interaction, being dismissive when I asked if perhaps rice would help, just repeating there was nothing she could do for me. Lo and behold after cleaning out the charge port and letting it dry, it worked the next day. When I called Apple to complain, I learned Vanessa had lied on my report, stating that I was offered a deal of $299 for a replacement in exchange for the parts. I was offered no such thing. Apple offered nothing for the burden of having to return a replacement phone I had bought based on incorrect advice. read more

When I first walked in, Speaking with the rep at the door was unpleasant. There was no welcoming--rather, a blunt "what do you need." I was then told to find someone at a table and that they would help me. Once I got there, there was no welcoming, just awkwardness. About 10 min later, the person I was told to see told me "did you need help? If so, go to that table over there". I made it to the other table and the associate approached me to ask what I needed done today. I told him I'm here to pick up an online order. He gave me a big sigh and told me to go to another associate. Then, I went off on him. Nonetheless, I finally got my product and left. I just wished it didn't need to escalate to that. In conclusion, if you can go to another Apple store, I'd highly recommend you do that. Or just go in for quick trips. Anything else that requires customer service and beyond, try and go to another store. read more

Dear Apple Store, I just took an hour and a half out of my day to pick this phone up. I spoke to not one but two of your employees trying to pick up this order. However, as we both stood between two long tables that had GENIUS BAR signage behind each, we, me and your employee, stood helplessly looking at useless screens. My screen was broken and thus useless. Her screen could do nothing for her even though she was holding my ID and I had given her my phone number and my Apple ID. Somewhere in that building was my replacement phone that I had ordered over a week ago. And yet both of us stood there looking at useless screens, and not one but two of your employees telling me they were powerless without my "Repair Number," which I obviously couldn't access since I didn't have a @#$@#$@# phone. I mean there we were a bunch of humans who for millenia could just exchange two things with zero problems face to face and yet thanks to Apple and what they have help wrought upon us . . . oh well nevermind . . . To add ridiculous insult to the ridiculous absurdity of it all was that my broken iPhone which I couldn't back up or access since I couldn't UNLOCK it since half the screen wouldn't work decided right then it was going to erase itself and reset . . . thus losing all the data I hadn't saved. So here's my proposal. You mail me the phone I ordered in person in your store and for which I returned but couldn't actually receive because of this ridiculous technology that makes idiots of us all as we stand under stupid signs that say GENIUS BAR, and I'll figure out how I will dump APPLE's ecosystem from my life forever and ever and ever . . . Of course, as I was about to send this, I see the address is "donotreply@email.apple.com." Seriously, you all suck. Thanks and Sincerely, read more

I received above and beyond treatment from Brandon the Apple Genius or tech. He Ironed out an issue with my Apple care plan for my 10.5 inch IPad Pro. I've been to many other Apple stores and the service I received was soso. Not at this location Props to Brandon for fixing my Apple care problem. The staff here is solution oriented and goes the extra mile even when the store is slammed. read more

I had a great experience but.... The young black man sitting next to me was greeted by a white technician who asked him for his ID before he would even start explaining his iPad and iPhone issues with him. My technician was a black woman, as am I, regardless- she didn't ask for my ID. The young black guy across from me definitely felt embarrassed for having to show his ID, when he (and I) had just seen MANY other customers work with technicians without having to prove that the devices were his. I imagine he had to wait for at least an hour to get them fixed and then come back to pick them up. Either ID everyone or no one, it's just fair. I spoke to the manager and hopefully this issue will be resolved soon. read more

I made an appointment and the rep said he couldn't find it, I argued with him about it for about 5 minutes until he looked up my email. Found it. Said it was to see a tech and the battery change is a separate appointment, what a bunch of crap. Obviously their store hired college students that don't know what the eff they are talking about. Horrible place. Avoid if you can. read more

The management staff at this Apple Store are amazing!!! I scratched and broke my 3 week old Apple Watch! :( I decided to go to the Apple Store for assistance. Upon arrival I was told that they where unable to assist since the Watch was purchased elsewhere. They recommended that I contact Applecare. I explained that I was set to deploy in a few days and wouldn't have access to the Applecare services. The genius rep spoke to the manager and indicated that they would swap the Watch no more questions asked. Both manager and genius rep where amazing!!! They where extremely helpful!!! The management staff have earned my business for years to come ! Many thanks!!! read more

Apple Georgetown - Genius Bar at Apple Store - Computers Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Needed to buy a new iPhone after dropping mine down the stairs and destroyed the display. Wanted to make sure I could back everything up to my laptop, but had a malware/spyware/adware issue causing to to repeated reboot, I guess. Brought to second laptop as back just in case. After initially getting bounced around to different trying to figure out what needed to be done, I spent several hours with Tico and Lito and got a new phone, Otter Box, and screen protector, got the one laptop cleaned up, and got both updated. There were more issues than I realized, but these guys went above and beyond to get me all taken of in one visit instead of having make new appointments! Yes, I was here for a about 4 hours, but when I left, I was all set! No repeat trips needed! Thanks! read more

This store has good apples. Everything was going great until the screen cracked. That's when Derek, the best Genius bartender I've ever encountered, came in with a swift and efficient explanation to what needed to be repaired, and what it was going to cost and why. I believe the wonderful experience and service that is Apple is exemplified by Derek and the like. Pros the speed of Genius Appointment The deep understanding of issues and questions The design of the back skylight is aesthetically delighting Derek. You should ask for him if you are going to the Genius Bar for questions and issues. Cons Parking. read more

One star for really long waits (my wait one time took 3 days!), and bad customer service. Staff is mostly friendly only when a customer wants to buy something. I came to get my MacBook fixed after some of the keyboard keys got stuck. The keyboard was basically unusable. The "Genius" employee assigned to my case didn't even touch my MacBook, or look at the keyboard at all before he concluded that my MacBook had to be shipped out for repair and that it would cost $500 for accidental damage. Staff is friendly at the door but generally disinterested or disengaged in every other department. read more

Unfortunately as much as I love apple products, I had a bad experience at the Georgetown apple store. I tragically lost my MacBook Air of 5 years to a water bottle spill and had to urgently buy a new laptop to continue working remotely for my job. It took four trips to the store over the course of five days and a total of about 7 hours in the store and on the phone to do a very simple data transfer from my dead laptop to an external hard drive and to buy a new laptop. I got a different response from every single person I spoke with about what data could or could not be transferred and how which resulted in extreme delays in getting access to my files from the dead laptop and me losing an entire week of work. I really hope that they will improve the consistency of messaging and training of genius bar staff. In addition the level of knowledge of the staff selling laptops was very sub par. Also, Apple stores are only located in exclusive historically white neighborhoods which begs the question why am I spending my money to increase their profits at all anyway? Good qst, I need to reflect more on that and reclaim my comfort with non Apple products. read more

I came to buy 2 new iPhones. Got to the store at 3. It's now 6:30. After 3.5 hours I am told that Verizon is having glitches with Apple. So I won't be going home with what I needed The worst part. Somehow my phone no longer works. I got a lot of apologies but fuck you. I hate Apple. Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave read more

Excellent customer service! Friendly, greeting many times. This store was able to resolve an issue I have had with Apple for 30 days in less than 30 minutes. Bree from Texas was incredible. Her attitude, her energy was on point. She found a way to be fast and still thorough. The manager who assisted was excellent as well. All future Apple interactions will be through this store! read more

I have been to this Apple Store multiple times before, and have usually experienced the less-than-average experience. Whether I had issues regarding my iphone or macbook, the staff, and at times the manager even, were very inflexible to work with. However, I felt the need to write this review after realizing the "genius" that helped me was completely incompetent to work there. I had issues with my macbook before, so after hearing it was the same issue, I just asked her to set up my OS, so I can at least use it for the time being. They had done this the last time, and it worked pretty well, and I was not ready to get a new laptop just yet. The lady (I clearly remember her name) said sure, and she started re-installing the software. After sitting there for about fifteen minutes, she suddenly aborted the installation and told me that my laptop did not have the capacity to handle the installation. It was weird, because there were no error messages that popped up, but she just shut the laptop and said, "You're options are to get a new laptop or send it to our repair for a couple hundred bucks." I'm no computer expert, but it felt like she did not want to put in the effort of installing the OS for me, and kept on telling me about the buying options. I said ok, and I came home, looked up instructions online, and managed to install the OS myself. I am writing on the laptop that the "genius" told me was gone for good. If the staff here are not willing to help out customers to the best of their ability, why work there? read more

I love Apple. I'm the girl playing on my MacBook air, answering my iPhone, reading a book on my iPad, and using a MacMini as my TV. I should own stock. Things I don't love? This Apple store. I won't be back, and not because of the products or the people that helped me out, but rather because of the manager. I would rather make the drive to Tyson's. I was an hour early to my Genius Bar appointment. All I needed was a new power block for my iPhone charger, and I had done this whole song-and-dance yesterday (including wandering around for two hours waiting for an appointment) and had gotten a new cable, only to get home and find out it was the block that was the problem. I understand how appointments work so I asked if it was possible to get it taken care of early. The girl with the iPad checking people in said sure, she could take care of me. Sweet. She wasn't able to, but got a Genius to process the appointment quickly even though I was an hour early, just to help me out. And all of you reading this are wondering "Why the 1-star? This sounds great!" It does. Until the manager walked up to the employee and started berating him in front of me for taking the request from iPad girl. "Why did you do this? There is no such thing as a quick swap out! You should listen to me when I tell you something." Then, add some glares directed my way. Thanks. Way to ruin a great experience. iPad girl, you rock. Genius guy Mike? Thanks for helping a girl out. Manager? You suck. read more

This place is worse than the DMV. Seriously. Since when do you need to make an appointment several days in advance for basic customer service? All of the people who work here are really unhelpful and always appear to be way too busy to even answer simple questions. My friend had a simple phone issue that needed to be looked at and she made an appointment, so I figured that I since there were no open appointment slots on the morning that my Mac Book Pro stopped working, I could just ask her 'Genius' to troubleshoot my laptop. During my friend's appointment, they didn't even really listen to her issue and immediately started to try and sell her random things and weren't relevant. They wouldn't even look at me when I asked if they could try and troubleshoot my laptop for 5 minutes. Ugh, miserable Mac Store. Really wishing I bought a PC right about now... read more
