I have an appointment for 6pm but I still have to wait because this place is crazy busy. While I was here they had a workshop on how to produce music using Garage Band. Who knew? They have all sorts of workshops on a variety of subjects. It just depends on the day. Although it would be very distracting to take a class there because there is so much chaos. All I needed was a new battery. It took hours. I never knew how attached I was to my phone until I had to leave it with them for two hours. It seemed like an eternity. When I got back the phone still was not ready. They told me to come back in 30 minutes. So I walked back to my car and put my shopping bag of new goodies in there and moved it closer to the store. I for back and the phone still was not done. I was told another 10 minutes. I waited and perused the store, looking at all the new devices. Knowing what's coming now, makes me feel highly inept and lacking the skill set for devices of the future. The mall is closing all the other stores had already pulled down their gates and I was still waiting for my phone. It finally came out shortly after 9 PM. By that time I've been waiting up and on for about an hour and 20 minutes. My suggestion is if you make an appointment make it for early in the morning or first thing so that they're not already backed up. My phone works beautifully now because the battery is fully charged and will last all day without having to recharge it. If you have an appointment to do any kind of repairs, be prepared to wait. If they say an hour plan on too. I remember it's two hours without your phone. So take a book or something to read because you're gonna need it. read more

I ordered my new Macbook Pro for pickup at this location since it's closest to home. Placed the order online in the morning and received an email stating it was ready for pickup a few minutes after the store opened. I arrived about 30 minutes earlier than my scheduled pick up time, but figured I'd ask if I could pick up my new MacBook anyways. I was greeted by Kelly who checked me in and informed me that being there early wasn't a problem. Kelly walked me over to a table where I could sit and informed me that my MacBook would be out in just a moment. Less than five minutes and another Apple employee emerged from the back room with my new MacBook Pro in an Apple bag. I spent less than ten minutes in the store and Kelly waited with me while my order was being pulled from the back of the store. Painless experience albeit I am very rarely inside an Apple store despite the fact that I use quite a number of Apple products. Store was very clean, staff were very attentive, and I was able to pick up my order well earlier than scheduled. I was here on a weekday, but I imagine that the store is probably busier during weekends. read more

Should be half star but there is no option This is the worst service you can get in America Everything takes hours They never have solutions other than upgrading your device Thats why I have Samsung Galaxy Unfortunately my other family members are not that smart 2 hours to tell me nothing they can do 3td world company read more

No wonder this location only has three stars -- the customer service is terrible. I ran in at 7:59 PM, completely out of breath, just trying to quickly run in and buy a phone charger. The security guard even nodded for me to go ahead, so I hurried inside. Already inside the store, an employee, Lorena, abruptly stopped me and said, "We're closed, ma'am." I checked the time -- it JUST turned 8 -- and politely asked if I could please just grab a charger as there were still customers inside and the registers were open. Again , I was already INSIDE the store. Having worked in retail myself, I understand the frustration of last-minute customers, but it was still one min before closing time when I had walked in. Instead of being understanding, Lorena repeated several times -- rudely -- "We're closed, ma'am," then walked away. When I asked for her name, she ignored me at first, and only after I asked again did she respond with "Lorena" and sarcastically ask if there was something she could help me with as she knew other customers were around. Uhhh well Yes, actually -- a charger would have been great. It took her longer to tell me "we're closed" three times over than it would've taken to complete the sale. This experience was so disappointing, especially since there aren't many Apple Stores nearby. To be treated like that -- with zero empathy or professionalism -- is not what I would expect from an Apple employee. I'll be sure to tell my friends to avoid this location, because customers deserve to be treated with respect, not dismissed. I've attached a photo solely so you can see the time stamp as I was walking away it was 8:01.. read more

Very good service. I had to return an iPhone, and they went out of their way to help me get the phone I wanted. Brandi, the manager was great! read more

Worst Apple Store experience I've ever had. I made an appointment, arrived early, and still waited about 45 minutes without getting real help. Employees kept moving me from one place to another saying "a few more minutes," but nobody actually helped me. What made the experience feel even worse was how ignored and uncomfortable I felt as a Spanish speaker. Every time I tried asking for help in Spanish or asked if someone spoke Spanish, I was basically brushed off and passed around again. It honestly felt humiliating and disrespectful. I understand being busy, but no customer should feel dismissed or looked down on because of language. If you mainly speak Spanish, be prepared to feel frustrated and completely unsupported at this location. I've owned Apple products for years, but this experience seriously changed the way I see Apple Stores. I left feeling disrespected, angry, and extremely disappointed. read more

Apple knows it has society in a chokehold so I guess that means they don't have to provide any type of customer service. I made an appointment to make a repair for my computer and over the course of that, I had to come in 3 times.... Each time incredibly unpleasant. You have to stand around awkwardly looking like an idiot waiting for someone to approach you. They absolutely need to have a designated check in zone rather than make it a weird free for all with workers scattered throughout the store. One time I waited 12 minutes for someone to even acknowledge me and then I stood there awkwardly for another 5-10 minutes waiting for someone to actually take my computer from me. These stores are chaotic, unwelcoming and really need some organizing. Employees should make effort to acknowledge everyone as they come in- even when they are helping someone else in the moment. A simple "hi we will be right with you" would make a huge difference. read more

This Apple Store sucks wasted half of the day, trying to recover information on a phone, they're not talking or engaging with us, when we go home, we call Apple support and the lady hang up on us do not recommend this location at all they make you wait and sit and they don't do anything to help or make a solution out of anything. The only thing that's good about this location is you can get an iPhone that's it read more

Wow, all these bad reviews... I guess people come here to leave their frustrations. But don't let that scare you. I had a good experience when I had to replace my iPhone charging block when it suddenly stopped working. I didn't have an appointment so I waited about 10 min. to speak to a Specialist. The whole interaction took about 30 min. While I waited, I was listening to the class they were hosting on Apple Intelligence. Amazing stuff! read more

OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE from Steven & Amy! Each took care of my complex situation and they both worked together and I walked out very happy. Both are knowledgeable and listen to you to understand what you need/want. Be sure to ask for them next time you go there. read more

My iPad was running out of memory and I went in to see what my options were. As I walk around the mall a few times a week I know that this store can be super crowded so I went mid-afternoon the first time. I had to wait a couple minutes but not long and was sent to the back where Chian helped me. She answered all my questions, was very patient and nice and gave my some options as to ways to upgrade my iCloud or possibly buy a new iPad and told me how it was to be done. I told her I would think about it and came back the next day. I had to wait about 5 minutes and the person asked me what was needed and took me over to a table where the one employee was helping one other customer. When Graham came over he was very, very helpful, has a great sense of humor and lots of knowledge and was able to answer questions and help me choose how to upgrade, which meant turning my old iPad in for $149 credit toward the purchase of a new one. He then took me across the store where, thank goodness, there was only one other customer at the table. Adrienne was an incredible help so that I could transfer all the data from the old iPad to the new one and making sure the old one had no more data on it. It took about 45 minutes with her but that was no problem as I expected the whole procedure to take at least an hour from the time I walked in to leaving and it was a bit over that. Like Graham, Adrienne had a great personality, was fun to share things work and was equally as helpful in making the transition from one tablet to the new one. I've read where some employees are rude or not helpful but all three of the people who helped me, especially Graham and Adrienne, where 5star in both helpful and their personalities! read more

I went here despite all the negative reviews because my sister said it was better than trying to get to the one at The Americana. She was right - parking was easier and we were helped immediately upon walking into the store. Our transaction was seamless and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Young Tristen (25 years old...it was his birthday) and Sam K were extremely knowledgeable and effective in the extent of their technical knowledge and ability to dominate the machines and resolve all issues.

Steven at the Apple in Sherman Oaks mall is truly lovely. Patient, helpful and kind. Thank you for all your help Steven!

I stopped by this Apple store today inside Westfield Sherman Oaks mall while my wife was shopping. When I walked inside, a worker greeted me and asked if I needed any help. I told him that I was just browsing while my wife was trying on stuff. I looked at their MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, iPad, Airpods, Apple TV, watch and there different iPhones on display. They even had their VR headset and you can make an appointment to do a demo. I went over to their little Arcade area and check that out as well. The staff here are very friendly and ready to assist if needed. They also have 2 security guard in the front of the store. read more

If I could give the store zero star, I will give you zero star even -5 star staff a rude robotic lack of knowledge liars manipulators I brought my phone with manufacture, defect brand new phone instead of replacing it they pushing you to repair it because they know it's junk. They promising an hour and 20 minutes four hours later. It's not ready giving you runaround managers are neutered they don't even have a say in anything. They all depend in an iPad. I wouldn't recommend nobody to step in their store. They're gonna waste your time like they did me in five more customer that was raging at the store for the same exact situation if you need anything from Apple do it online don't even approach the store. They are a joke of a location disrespecting the customer lying to them on ETA. How low can you go Apple? You're going down in all areas just to sell us product and to give us lousy service under staff, uneducated, staff rude I have no idea why you guys still in business. read more

I broke my phone, found out I didn't have apple care, and was helped by Chiane and Valentina (I hope this is her name, if not started with a V). Valentina went above and beyond to help me get in and out of the store battling my non functioning phone so I could get to work. She made a bad situation a little less bad anticipating road blocks and finding ways around them. Side note- super glad I brought my computer to try to work while fixing my phone it turned out to be a huge saver since my phone wasn't functioning. read more

The staff was polite and respectful. The store policy was completely unaccommodating. They wouldn't help me carry my heavy equipment to the car or hold my equipment for 30 minutes while I got lunch. this is my local store, but this is my worst experience. do better. read more

Had an appointment, waited close to an hour before helped. No greeting, felt like the guy couldn't be bothered. Was no help at all. Couldn't do anything for my iPad. Was told to just go to a repair shop and get it fixed. Very disappointed. read more

Hallelujah Brad saved me today! I walked in with a sad Mac problem. I told him my fairly newer model of my iPad had crashed and wasn't charging or turning on. He said l, "Mind if I try something to it to check it out?" I replied, "Of course, you can try whatever you want." He pushed the "up volume, down volume, then pushed the power button for an extended time." It booted up instantly! He said if it happens again then bring it in since the waiting line to get it more thoroughly diagnosed for more underlining issues is over an hour. I thanked him with the biggest smile and skipped on out of there. Brad is my hero!!! read more

I have NEVER had a good experience with the Genius Bar, there. I'm going to stop doing business with them. they couldn't transfer the data from my old computer to my new MacBook Pro, they screwed it up, and had no answers for me, then with my new iPhone 17 pro max, they kept my phone overnight, after I told them it was my only phone, and after 24 hours, not only couldn't they complete the transfer, but had no idea why it was unsuccessful. they were nasty, ruder, and did not follow directions. my friend loaned me her phone- sge went home, and I was without phone. they were told not to call her -rhey called her 4 times-never emailed me. I am DONE with this store. I'm going to the Geek Squad. they are the new Genius Bar, and I've and knowledgeable as can be. the Genius Bar are no geniuses. I am done. read more

What a wonderful shopping experience. I was a little apprehensive about coming to the Apple Store because another location I found the staff to be a bit aloof and not helpful. However thanks to my AMAZING & kind hearted salesperson ADRIANNE I had a wonderful experience!!!! She was super helpful, very well educated in Apple products and especially the MacBook Pro that I was purchasing. In addition, she offered excellent suggestions and listened to my needs very intently. She even introduced me to the newly created business department and I was able to save a little money as a business owner thank you Armand. I am so grateful that Adrianne helped me and made me feel very welcome and comfortable with my purchase. Whoever the manager is should know that they are running a great store. read more

Absolutely DO NOT go here for repair if you need a quick fix. I was told 3-5 days and when I called checking on status they changed to 7-8 days. I also get the feeling people don't show up for work or they're understaffed. This will be the last time I go to this location for a repair. The sad thing is these bazillion dollar companies simply do not care because they know we have limited options. It's like they laugh at these complaints. Just look. Not one of these reviews is responded to. They probably don't even read them. They just don't care. Still, do not go here for repair like I mentioned. read more

Horrific customer service. And they don't give a damn. They think they're the only game in town for their products.

Had truly one of the best experiences here with a sales team member named, Amy. I didn't catch her last name but it was around 5pm and she was helping me with an iPhone upgrade. She was really knowledgeable about all apple products and was really able to guide me get some more items with my upgrade. I ended up getting chargers and air tags and a phone screen and case. Just super friendly and helpful and walked out of the store feeling grateful and excited about my products. It was super quick and easy. read more

I ran in to get a new iPhone 17. No one had to sell me anything, I was in a hurry. The guy who helped me was fabulous but he has been there quite awhile. Once I was moved over to the area where you wait for the data transfer to take place what was supposed to be 40 minutes turned into more than an hour and the one person helping people left for a break and the next guy was tied up with a customer forever. It was like pulling teeth trying to get assistance. Finally the person helped. He was knowledgeable but meanwhile I'm back at work and all my Contacts are fucked up, my IT department can't help because they don't have authorization on personal devices and tell me to go back to Apple. No appointments are available and I'm not looking forward to this. I've only had the phone two days! read more

Pretty uncomfortable experience. Came in to buy a phone but the people on the floor don't know anything about their own store or product. Was trying to get a payment plan with my Apple Card on a prepaid line. They CAN indeed do it but they have to call a number and get activated. Because it take a little longer they don't wanna help. Instead I was told that if I can't pay in full or finance another way that I can't be sold a phone. APPLE can and will always find a way to sell a phone, so I left because the workers were being rude and doing that thing where they just repeat some line on their tablet. Once I got flustered they started putting stuff away and calling over other workers to surround the area. I left and called corporate just to double check because I was gonna walk away with a phone from that store. Turns out I could just buy online with the plan and just pick up, and the people just DID not want to help me. I came back in called the manager over and confronted him about the experience, and the lack of knowledge or want to help from everyone in the store. He seemed super disinterested and when I pointed out the "loophole" he's like oooh yeah then just do that. Like bro, your and your stuff are supposed to know that then. Basically just buy online don't go in store with there want to be tech nerds. They really just be hiring anyone. The first guy that did nothing was some old white guy with Disney pins and his back up's were all pre-balding teenage looking nerds read more

No, absolutely not! Apple is a Bytton switch technology operation. They sell you something later on the day. They cannot fix it. Only if you play there to do this it really is monopoly. You know we all love their products because they're easy to use, but they really are using us and squeezing our bals to do what they tell us to do when it comes down to service. read more

Incredibly attentive & knowledgeable staff..efficient & well managed from the moment I walked in, without an appointment, to the moment I left read more

Horrible experience honestly waiting too much time for help. The associate wasn't focus on me hi helping others at the same time and using his own phone for personal text. No customer service at all. Talk to the manager to have a solution and he sent me back again with the same associate Bad bad bad don't come to the store. They're HORRIBLE ......... And I leave the store with no solution read more

I was in the store at 11 a.m. and I have made an appointment earlier but the clerk (with lots of rings in her nose) told me that she didn't have my reservation. I'm an older lady and she obviously didn't want to help me since was not a purchase because I bought IPod 2 hearing aid on Thursday April 24 and I had a couple of questions. The place was quite empty, only a few people but she didn't even hear my questions, and insisted that I should call a number because "We don't give instructions on Health", I said that they gave me instructions Thursday when I bought the IPOD2 and she was nasty and wanted me out of the store. Please people if you need to buy Apple go to Best Buys that has a good service, PLEASE. THIS WAS A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Maria read more

THE WORST EMPLOYEES EVER! They don't care about you. They'd rather chat amongst themselves, and when you do manage to get someone's attention, it felt like they'd rather be anywhere BUT help you. I was there to get an item fixed and all I heard was "we cannot help you becuase when we test it, it works." Well, when I show you that it doesn't work as expected in front of you, that should override a machine. I got bumped to a manager - some guy who was both condescending and rude. He was White, just below 6 ft, and with a constant scowl. All he did was back up the other employee and offered no other solution. I left and called Apple and they were able to resolve the issue to my satisfaction. THIS was the level of service that I rely on from Apple. Whomever is responsible for hiring at this store has a terrible track record. From the other comments on Yelp, it seems like this is a consistent problem at this specific store. Notice that most people don't complain about the products. Apple products are THE BEST. However, the people meant to represent them in stores leave a lot to be desired. There was a survey post-visit. I indicated that I could be called to discuss the situtation, but no one called. I guess that sums up this store's philosophy on customer service. read more

They do not care about you at all, employees are probably only there to get sales. The worst customer service, they told me that they were not able to replace my broken phone, even though I had apple care they said they do not do replacements at this store that I would have to wait 3 hours for my phone to get fixed , when I had arrived back to the Bay Area I went to my local Apple Store and they replaced my phone right away with no issues, 3 other customers that were sitting at my table also left very unsatisfied and upset due to the same issue, Therefore don't go to this Apple Store !!!! read more

The Apple Store is chaotic. I wasn't sure who was available so I walked up to someone. The first person asked me to wait. She was slightly rude. She came back and was slightly more friendly. She turned me over to someone else. The second person helped me and then walked away helping another person. She asked me to wait then proceeded to help more people. . I was there to buy a new iPhone. I walked out. I will never shop there again. They were no help and the customer service sucked! read more

I am SO angry. I bought a spare iPhone 13 pro charger and cord during the fires. I decided to return it but they were closed that day per fires. I didn't go back until a couple of weeks later and they told me I missed the return window of 2 weeks. Okay, fine. I figured I'd simply have a backup cord and charger. Except I DON'T because they sold me the WRONG cord! It's useless. Terrible service on every level. read more
