The store is minimalist and modern like all the other Apple stores. Street parking or Apple has a parking space you can use. The salesperson we encountered was not really warm and welcoming. She was more like what do you want and pretty dry. read more

Received superior and friendly service from Mandy. Had a technical question about our account and with a little research she resolved our issue. What stood out even more is that she asked for my first name and remembered that throughout the visit. Made me feel special. read more

I came here with my daughter because her new AirPod has some noise with the left one. We walked in without an appointment on a Wednesday noon time, and the guy at the door put us in a line with scan the QR code, we waited for likely 10 mins then some rep came to us. He tested the AirPods and then admit that there is problem with the left, but they can't exchange a new one as they don't have inventory for the right ear, so end up we only got the left pod exchanged. Not sure how that going to work with the pairing process. Just find it interesting that Apple Store's inventory is run by ear, not the whole set.. i guess you learn something new everyday in this world! read more

Calvin is the ulti-Apple'r! He quickly and thoughtfully helped me recover information from my phone I bought from T-Mobile a few days before. Essentially, I had to go to my pre-purchase ICloud memory to recover a folder that did not carry over from my IPhone 13 to my IPhone 16. A consummate professionals and great team remember! Thank you Calvin and Thank you Apple Store for keeping your world-class hitting and training! read more

This place is AWFUL!! Do not go here. Find a different store. You will be here for hours just waiting to get some help!! Horrible experience. Horrible customer experience read more

The only reason I am giving this ridiculous company and specific place at 801 W. North Ave., in Chicago, Il., 1 star, is so I can get my review in. All in all, Apple is so overrated, it has ridiculous rules that make it almost impossible for new customers to get help in purchasing their items. Last year, about 2 weeks before Christmas, I walked into this particular place, there were only 2 other customers besides me, and there were about 6 Apple attendants, I was told I had to wait, because I did not have an appointment. Well guess what Apple, my time is money too, and it just so happens I wanted to buy 10 Cell phones and all their accesories, but I ended up going to Boost. Which turned out to be much cheaper with the same quality of phones and much better service than Apple's. So, Apple, get a life, I threw away all the apple cells I had, thanks for nothing. Thanks for reading my comment. read more

Beautiful store, anchored in an eclectic neighborhood surrounded by shopping, restaurants and theaters. This store seem to be organically connected to its surroundings like a flower or a tree. We were helped immediately upon entry........Had an appointment to replace an Apple Watch. We were checked in and the waiting began....... We waited for about 15 minutes and we were helped. A simple replacement with a friendly Apple genius.....Has been one of the best experiences in an Apple store........Looking forward to returning. read more

I've had a couple of experiences at this Apple Store recently. The service was excellent both times. Staff are all very relaxed and patient. Also, willing and able to access other geniuses when needed. They are a great help with decision making by finding out how you use their products and matching to the specs of device options. Special thanks to Mandy from my last visit. read more

Previously treated well, return visit treated just AWFUL. I went to this business for a repair on my son's Ipad.Told I needed to repair the charging port, ask for a factory reset, and then to return to them for a restore. Did what was asked and came back. THEN the new tech said she could not help me at all without damaging the Ipad. I explained what the past tech said. She said she knows better. I explained that not only did the past tech say this but also Apple support. She refused service. I asked for a second opinion. She said "go ahead" and gestured to the others working there as if I should just approach someone at random. I was not rude or impolite. I asked her if we could focus on solving the problem. She said sure. And stood there. I waited. Nothing. I then asked if she could find someone to help. She called a manager. The manager told me I did not understand the difference between a disabled account and a locked account. I have an emailed that shows the account is "disabled." He says he stands by his word. I call my boyfriend and put him on speaker phone. After hearing a MALE voice who says the EXACT thing I did they do what I asked. Restore the the Ipad. I then ask the manager why this fuss? I was calm and polite. He insisted I didn't know the difference between locked and disabled. He says he stands by what he said. What? This man should NOT be a manager. I couldn't believe it. 2.5 hours for that? Awful. read more

The many apple loyalists are busy with the various service techs . I had a small problem with my personal phone and brought it in the store to get it resolved. Jade helped me through it after making an appointment and giving me the exact time time to come back to the store. Which was very convenient to shop around in the Lincoln park area. read more

Apple Lincoln Park - Inside an Apple Store, three people are seated at a counter, with two of them looking at their phones. The wall behind them features digital displays, one showing the Apple logo and another displaying an atomic symbol with the text 'Genius Bar.' The store has a modern, minimalist design with a gray wall and a section of the ceiling visible at the top. - Computers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I have been struggling with my daughter's apple ID and I had an appointment and was attended ny Toby who solved all my issues and was so patient and efficient! Thank you for not making me feel like a complete idiot! read more

Had the worst week ever between my iPhone and customer service from Att. My phone stopped working out of the blue and I was in so much trouble because I use my phone for work and have urgent client needs that require 24/7 phone access. Worked with Tommie and Carlos on Friday and I am SO thankful for them. I was being charged fees and dealing with a failed phone and they were able to resolve it all and get me a new phone. Thank you so much for your help! If you wouldn't had helped me I would have been switching to Android for sure. Apple is lucky to have you both. read more

Definite improvement, hey four stars is good, five is great. Wonderful service today all the way around. Everyone was very helpful and polite. From check in to picking up my order, to set up and upon exiting. After my initial check in, Andrew greeted me for me to get my order assembled and offered to help set up the new phone, I told him that I have set up others, and he said there were a few changes. Knowing that I didn't have anything else on my schedule, I decided to get the process going. Just the right combination of his doing the update with my assistance going along so I'd be comfortable with the new phone. As my old phone backed up and we got the new one going we talked about the new watch, my business and getting a business account set up. some about his other work and so on. After a while as it was apparent that most of it was all in process he was off to assist another. However, he did say to ask Nella who was in the area if I had any other questions. She did check in with me, all was good. As luck would have it I'd have a question and didn't see her, but nabbed someone else walking by, it was a quick ask and answer, he also asked if there was anything else. As I left, the same greeter made sure she wished me a good rest of the day. A high five to all. read more

First time visiting this Apple Store but this is certainly THE WORST Apple Store I've ever visited. Picked up my iPhone 16 here and purchased the screen protector where they applied it for me. The guy did a sloppy job and there were dusts trapped inside of the screen protector. He refused to redo the screen protector and said he could give me refund or give me another screen protector so I can put it on myself. He asked me come back to the store when the dust turned into bubble so someone else can reapply the protector. It truly was an unpleasant experience read more

Super busy in the middle of the day for whatever reason. Everything is slow and there's not enough workers to get through customers efficiently. Not to mention everything is overpriced. A basic setup with large wooden tables where people can sit or stand. At least it's cool inside so you're bot burning up while you wait. read more

Apple Lincoln Park - Outside - The image shows a modern Apple Store with a large glass facade displaying the Apple logo. The store is located on a busy city street with pedestrians walking on the sidewalk and vehicles passing by. Bicycles are parked outside the store, and nearby buildings are visible in the background. The scene is captured during daylight hours, with a clear sky overhead. - Computers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I was sent to the Apple Store by a Verizon store associate to get my (Verizon-purchased) iphone reset before a trade in. My old phone was having some issues maintaining a charge, and the Verizon store associate didn't seem confident in trouble-shooting. Enter Kyle at this Apple Store. He patiently and diligently tried a combination of efforts, which ultimately worked. My old phone is now ready to safely trade in. Kyle - you rock! read more

This review is for apple overall customer service. there wasn't a spot for it on here, but my item was delivered from here so I chose this location. Today, I placed an order over the phone with a friendly Apple representative and received a receipt for one price. However, when they charged my account, the amount was $70 more than what the receipt indicated. I called customer service to inquire about the discrepancy and was met with an extremely rude representative who couldn't or wouldn't explain the difference. I even offered to send her a copy of my receipt, but she refused and simply said, "That's just the way it is." She mentioned I could get a refund, but it would take 5-7 business days. When I requested to speak to a manager, she declined. Later, I spoke to another representative who was helpful and arranged for a senior advisor to call me back. When the senior advisor joined the call, they said there was nothing they could do and blamed the issue on taxes. I questioned how that could be possible, as the receipt I was sent included taxes, and yet the final charge was still different. They didn't provide me with an updated receipt, and even after I did the math myself, it didn't add up. When I asked the senior advisor to recalculate the purchase, the total matched the original amount on my receipt, but they insisted there was nothing more they could do. So, just to clarify--Apple thinks it's okay to send a receipt for one amount but charge a different amount without informing the customer? This is their policy? Apple needs to check their system because it feels like they're overcharging us without explanation! read more

You can expect top tier service if you ever visit this location. I came to get my air pods repaired and the first visit it literally took over a hour and i was close to getting a brand new pair because of my warranty but my second time the young lady fixed it in 20 minutes. read more

I don't really expect to get phenomenal service from a major retailer but wow! I scheduled my appointment with the genius bar to get a phone looked at because it wasn't charging. I arrived at my appointment a little early and the check in process was confusing. They have so many workers walking around that do different things that I didn't know where to sign in. I waited a little longer than I would have if the first person I spoke to had directed me to the correct place to check-in instead of trying to make a sale off me. The second person I spoke with said she would check me in and took my information. I waited an additional 10 minutes past my appointment start time and spoke to a third person. The person didn't see that I was checked in so they checked me in and told me I would be next up once a phone specialist came up. The phone specialist came up and she was very friendly. She inspected our phone and was able to solve the issue. It was as simple as dirt collecting in the port but they recommend coming in so you don't risk breaking your phone by cleaning it yourself. Since I was in the Apple store my husband and I thought we'd go ahead and buy the newest Apple Watch. I checked it out earlier while waiting and liked some of the new features. Little did I know you have to book a shopping session. The guy we stopped said he would take our information and book a session. The only time he had was 45 mins from now even though they had 20 workers in the building a few of them were standing around chatting. No big deal because I was getting hungry so we decided to book the appointment an hour from now. He only took a first name for the reservation and no other information. He said he only needed that information. After so many people giving us the run around we decided test out if the guy was giving a higher estimate so we left out building and entered through another door. We spoke to another employee and they gave us a 15 min estimate. We decided to just go to lunch since we had the other appointment booked and were hungry. When I arrived back at the store I spoke to the gentleman at the door to check in for our shopping appointment. The guy was very friendly and patient but he couldn't find our reservation. I gave him the name we left and he proceeded to ask for last name, phone number, etc to locate us but the first guy didn't even ask us for any of that information. It seemed like the first guy just wanted to get us out of the store not expecting us to come back so he just took a first name. We ended up having to wait a little longer for a new appointment. When the sales specialist came to us they informed us the watches we wanted were completely sold out. They only had the cellular watches available that were at minimum $100 more but you could get it without the phone plan. Truly visiting the actual store was a waste of time. I'm happy the phone got fixed but I don't see the benefit of buying Apple products in store. I interacted with six or more employees that day and most of them seemed to brush me off. I'll probably stick to online shopping to save myself a headache. read more

This is certainly a busy place, so I was not too shocked that they were late in getting to me. Since my tech expert took a lot of time with me, I wasn't bothered about the lateness of the appointment. I have to admit, I was surprised that I'd have to send my laptop out for a battery replacement. For this reason, I'll probably go to the bigger store in the future. read more

Apple Lincoln Park - Computers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

forty years buying apple products and have never been treated so dismissively in an apple store in my life. tech was polite but zero help, clearly didn't know what he was doing, told me to call apple support instead of actually troubleshooting, said he couldn't set up my new phone without iCloud even though i did not request a data transfer. just so much garbage. could have ordered to be shipped to my door rather than waste my time picking up. came home and set everything up myself in 20 minutes. apple always had such nice concierge service, which is why i like going to the store. if this is the standard now, forget it. either way i will never go to the lincoln location again. read more

Me and Apple are besties. I buy all her new toys. But is my love for Apple reciprocated? When I'm in Chicago on business and find myself at 20% far away from my hotel, will she take kindly to me and let me charge my phone using a display charger? ..... YES! THE ANSWER IS YES!!! I knew she loved me back :) anyhow, thanks for saving my a** today now I can go get Pequod's Pizza before I head back to my hotel! read more

Bought MacBook Pro for $3k computer 4 years ago stop working. Mother board goes bad. Want another $700 and lost all my data. So would you be happy? The MacBook itself was okay a bit slow at times was just okay not worth the $3k price. Debating going back to windows. read more

Happy to say my experience visiting Apple Store at 801 W Noth Ave was a positive one. Upon entering, I was met by Mari who was wonderful in helping me get a new SIM card. Then Jania worked to unlock my phone which was crucial to receiving calls from a hospital re sick relative. I'm sure all of the employees at that location are great but my commenda tion is for Mari and Jania. Thank you both! read more

I appreciate Sam from the first moment I walked in. He greeted me, checked on me, and helped me. While I sat down and waited for other Apple specialists to help and they were literally standing there the whole time. Mind you Sam set my appointment for 12:30p.m and you would think they would help.....Nope! Customer service first read more

I loved my experience on my last minute visit to the Apple Store Lincoln Park! My phone froze/stopped working. I went to the T-Mobile store. They told me to call Apple. Um my phone is broken. Oh well ok. I called Apple from my son's phone and was tied up with them for over 2 hours with no solution. I tried to make an appointment for the store but wasn't able to. Later the staff at the store told me I could only make an appointment on my phone. Sooo the big circle run around I just went to the store last minute. They have an operation out front that is very well run. It was organized for check in and different areas to wait. They were only seeing people with appointments. Oh no!! The girl took pity on me after hearing how hard I've tried to get assistance. They squeezed me in! They were very accurate with wait times, had tents for shade and offered bottled water since it was blazing hot. I was very impressed. Once inside, the guy assisted me with knowledge and precision. He was able to work his magic and got my phone to magically start working and I was on my way! I was very happy to see that Apple was taking our safety very seriously while remembering fantastic customer service. Thank you!! read more

Apple Lincoln Park - This photo was taken close to closing time so it doesn't look busy at all. Earlier there were people everywhere! - Computers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

It was a reasonable wait on this weekday afternoon to buy a charger. Waited at a table for a tech to help me out. They knew I was there for a charger. Had to wait for two people to get their parts, and others for walk-in carryout orders. All n all, everything went smoothly. Would go back at this same time if I ever needed something specific. I tried Target first and the employee said they don't make the charger for my computer anymore and he had to order it online to get another. So he really didn't know going to the Apple store was the best solution to this answer, as I needed a charger now. And I got one. read more

Service at this location has gotten steadily worse. Last time I was stuck babysitting some employee who was totally unprepared to do her job and this time after waiting around to be help for 30 minutes we just up and left. On top of that half the stuff isn't charged so you can't even browse products while you wait. Go to Michigan Avenue and deal with the parking. read more

They need more training and improvement in customer care terrible customer service experience

even without a comparison to the downtown store this has just been the most confrontational and least helpful store EVER. I've had to go there 4 times in the past 5 years and everytime was a dreadful experience except 1 thus the 2 stars. Nothing gets fixed or replaced here. I would have never gone back had they not given me a call saying there's new management and better training. I was literally told by multiple people both from genius bar and the IT team in this store, that they run separately from Apple support (phone/online/app). They do not take their notes into account whatsoever and what they do in store is up to them (whomever is helping you at the time). I would just go to the downtown store from now on. The location may be convenient but the experience is everything but. read more

They are set up to help customers and maintain social distancing ! There are tents and pre screening outside ! I ordered something online for pick up and didn't even need to go inside the store for pick up . They scanned my receipt , checked my ID and had me to sit outside ! Easy Peasy! read more

BEWARE of this location !!! I unfortunately had my wallet stolen on Friday & my credit card was used at this Apple location for 7000.00 !!!

Watch out !!!!!!!!!! read more

08jul24. my friend who speaks only spanish was just there to see if anyone can help him with his phone. they did not help him. they said we need an id. so he gave him the copy the he was given from the state, he just renewed his id. the manager said they cannot accept it! it is a legal document! such itiots! they want his passport! now he needs to go home and get it.who walks around with their passport in their pocket??? waste of time! this is why i will never buy an i phone! worst service ever!!! read more

Interesting to see an Apple store not filled to the brim. While I have jumped ship from the Apple ecosystem just a few years back, a recent visit to help my father in law get his iPhone battery fixed gave me many reminders of why I decided to leave. Similar to many past experiences, getting service never seems to be easy. Genius bar always slammed and we waited 40 minutes for our reserved appointment. Also Apple care never seems to cover what needs to be fixed. Why bother paying for service? While waiting, I browsed around the store a bit. Not much has changed. Some upgrades to laptops, iPads, and iPhones. Yet still waiting for the next big innovation that used to excite me around Apple. Maybe one day... Anyhow, this location is pretty convenient to get to via transit, but parking in the nearby area can be a bit of a hassle. Be prepared to pay $2/hr to park it on the street. While this location appears to be well staffed you'll still find yourself waiting and waiting. In all the waiting and reflection I did, I did seem to notice all of the staffs kicks are kind of low key fire. So I guess this had that going for them. Apple please bring back the ol' exciting innovations and products... and better service please. K thanks. 'Til next time. read more

Do not go to this location even if it's closer to your residence. The staff is rude no integrity have a lack of urgency no compassion or concern about you. They are ALWAYS talking amongst themselves and get an attitude irritated if you ask them any questions. There's apparently at least 7-9 sales associates but only a few technicians working. It's ALWAYS a 2PLUS Hour estimated wait time no matter if you make an appointment or not. The overall service would be a negative -10 Zero‼ read more

The floor associate made me feel dismissed and not respected in the Apple store. Upon greeting, he excused himself to talk to another employee. At first, I thought he was discussing my concerns about the Apple product, but instead he was just catching up with another employee on life events. I felt pushed to purchase Apple accessories & disrespected with the products I owned. I will not recommend coming into this Apple location. read more

I just ordered a brand new iphone to be delivered to my house. The driver did not speak any english and they asked me to confirm delivery by signing off on the device. I asked him to switch to english so I knew what I was agreeing to in english. He stated he spoke no english and could not change the documentation. This is terrible. Hire drivers that speak english since I just spent over 1000 on a new phone. Do better. I just found out by calling the store they hire uber drives. I will never purchase anything from this store again. Misleading consumers on what they are signing off on. read more
