My Apple Store of choice for every upgrade. The team is always prompt, helpful, and the order‑ahead pickup couldn't be easier. I've bought three generations of iPhones and plenty of other Apple products here, and the service has always been excellent. 7 years ago, my left AirPod died just a week out of warranty--and they still replaced it for free. That kind of customer care sticks with you. Five stars! read more

Unfortunately I've had to come to the store and visit the Genius Bar a handful of times over the last few weeks due to some issues with 3 phones in my household. Fortunately all but one time i had dealt with great staff who were knowledgeable, had great energy, and were willing to help. I wrote about one bad visit in my recent review. I want to give huge kudos to Claire, Mohammad, and Grant for their help and good spirits during these frustrating visits. It does not go unnoticed and is really appreciated. p.s. Cliare is a superstar. We worked with her on 2 separate visits and she was so helpful and transparent. Not to mention she called to follow up (since they had to send an escalation for situation). Now that's customer service, she went above and beyond and always with a great attitude. read more

Not sure why the low ratings. The customer service at this store is amazing- the staff is friendly and patient. They actually seem like they like working there bc they are also friendly to each other. In addition they are knowledgeable and don't try to force you into buying tech you don't need or won't use. read more

We visited the Apple Store on Sunday, May 3rd in the afternoon, to upgrade our phones. We're a family of four. The customer service was excellent; three staff members assisted us, and each provided outstanding support. The process was smooth and efficient. They also offered spatial audio sessions, which were an enjoyable addition to the experience. We felt entirely at ease and well accommodated throughout our visit. read more

The last time I left here it left me a bad distasteful memory that lasted very long. For that reason I am bringing the original 4 star to 3. Otherwise it would be at least a solid 4. Pre pandemic, I was here to have my battery changed out from my phone that was aging. I paid to get it change here at the time it was $30 due to them knowing the batteries are faulty. After the battery change it actually got worse. Went from holding charge for 1/3 of the day to holding charge for 30 mins and die out after 8 hours or something of charging.... That is the reason why I became upset and went with android instead. Basically threw my $30 for nothing. Now considering to go back to apple for various reasons that include of employer. So, the good service, I had the other day was seeing plenty of availability customer reps walking around and were all willing to answer the questions I had pertaining to my purchasing decisions for the new 17 phone. They didn't come off as pushy salesmen so that's what I was pleased about. I had spoken with at least 3-4 reps and they were all equally informative one after another, I was able to gain new information and they even show me how to navigate to find the information I'm seeking. I've taken down their comments and considering the available options and packages. read more

It has been a few years since I've been to an actual Apple Store for anything, but my visit to the Apple Store in Stonestown Galleria was an incredibly smooth and efficient experience. I came in to pick up an iPhone I ordered online, and the entire process--from check-in to leaving with my new phone--was well-organized and hassle-free. One thing that really stood out to me was how well the staff coordinated with each other. Each step of the way, I was guided by an employee who clearly communicated what was happening next. Whenever I moved to a different station, the staff members would inform the next person about my situation, so I never had to repeat myself or explain what I was there for. This level of teamwork made everything feel seamless and effortless. In the past, I remember being sent to a table and left waiting until someone from the Genius Bar became available. This visit was completely different--every employee had a specific role, and the handoffs between them kept everything moving quickly. I was able to check in, trade in my old phone, transfer my data, and set up my new device, all within 30 minutes. That's incredibly efficient for a process that could easily take much longer. The store itself maintains the same modern and minimalist Apple Store aesthetic, and while it's functional, I do think better seating would be a nice improvement. Other than that, the location is convenient, and parking is easy since it's inside Stonestown Galleria. Overall, a fantastic experience that left a great impression! read more

Yajaira was so good, Genius Bar was down and she helped me with my question without them. Great experience!

Brought in a MacBook for repairs. Unfortunately didn't have the serial number as the keyboard was damaged and wasn't working (could not pull it up) so was unable to make an appointment online. Checked in and was told there would be a 45 minute wait. Sat at the counter for just under 2 hours. A lady seated nearby sharply complained of being made to wait, yet the technicians said she'd only been there for 10. Finally made the polite ask and was seen afterwards. These people do not know how to keep track of appointments and I guess they want to be yelled at. It seems to be the only way to get service here. If you can possibly avoid having anything to do with this store, take whatever other option is available. read more

Honestly the worst Apple experience ever and I've been loyal for decades. Dropped my watch off for repair. There was no communication when it was ready and no one answers the phone. Spent 1.5 hrs on the phone with general Apple support only to find out two different agents also couldn't get anyone from this location on the phone. Finally after my call was escalated (after 90 mins) from general support number, they say it's ready. Mind you, we never got in contact w the store bc no answer. Like I said, they never contacted me as they promised they would. The general manager of this store has some improvements that must be made. Service is nonexistent. read more

Clean, safe, and friendly employees that are there to help. Overall apple stores are very helpful and are there to inform you on the current* products. The caveat is if you're looking for information on a slightly older products/models you will be out of luck as most products that apple and the apple online store carries only the most current models (apple employee told me). A product from last season is considered obsolete. Not trying to throw shade at apple, I respect the hustle, but the difference between a m3 and m4 is probably insignificant to 75% of the consumer base. The older models are cheaper and still very relevant but I doubt an apple employee will tell you that in store. Its almost feels like going to a car dealership these days. They could suggest you an alternative apple product/generation but I doubt they would since they wouldn't personally profit from. I'm assuming it's commission based. Do your due diligence before coming here. Most of them are as less knowledgeable than the worst Reddit forum. read more

Busy on a Tuesday night but the Apple folks are helpful. You just have to assertively approach a rep for help. Very enjoyable experience. The winners for me were the Apple folks. Nice and knowledgeable, especially the folks at the counter. Kudos! read more

Shoutout to one of the bar workers Gunner for being awesome. He was really patient and helped me fix my MacBook!

I met w a Genius Bar tech at the table and I needed to purchase a cable before I continued to charge my phone. I left my bottle of water on the table and told a neighboring customer lady that I'm coming back. I came back w my cable and my water was gone. The lady said I tried telling them you're coming back and they insisted on needing to clean the table. An employee asked what's wrong.. after telling her what happened, she said, "Oh" and just looked at me. WTF?!?! I was annoyed but chose not to get riled up. I thanked the neighboring lady for speaking up for me, wished her a good day and exited. read more

I've been to the Apple Store at Stonestown for years. I had my iPhone 13 Pro battery replaced. I picked up the iPhone 16 Pro last year and recently, I picked up iPhone Air on 09/19/2025. The pickup process was incredibly smooth and quick, and I was able to leave the store in less than 10 minutes. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at this Apple Store. read more

Apple Stonestown - iPhone Air 09/19/2025 - Computers Near Me - San Francisco, California

Apple Has Lost Its Innovation!! From the first iPhone to the iPhone 6 or 7, I always stood in long lines in front of stores on launch day. Whenever I had free time, I would walk into an Apple Store and play around with different products in amazement. But recently, for me (and for others as well), Apple is no longer exciting or innovative--it's just another smartphone. Yet, Apple employees still act and speak as if they are part of something revolutionary. Sometimes, I even feel a bit sorry for them. Of course, creating something new every year is not easy... but making something so similar every year doesn't seem easy either! read more

I really hate that this is the closest Apple Store to me. I've been with Apple since the very first iPhone, and until my most recent experience, this store has never disappointed. The Genius Bar technician ordered my replacement iPhone and told me it would be fine that I was out of town for the next nine days. I returned to find out the store got rid of the phone because I didn't claim it within five days. I asked to speak to a manager upon return to get it resolved, and never have I met someone so unqualified to be a manager. I can somewhat understand if the store won't honor old policies they've used for customer resolutions, but the manager's approach to the situation was sad. Rather than acknowledging their mistake and apologizing, she simply stated they made not mistake and had nothing to fix. Even if you're not going to resolve the customer's issue, a simple apology and acknowledgment of the customer's frustration is Customer Service 101. Having working in management for years, employees make mistakes and guarantee customers things they shouldn't, but it's evident that this manager lacks the social graces to know how to fix an employee's mistake of telling the customer the wrong information. I wasn't seeking any financial compensation and was just trying to leave the store with a working phone that I pay for AppleCare to cover, but the manager provided zero flexibility at resolving the situation. It's crystal clear that Apple was scraping the bottom of the barrel when they placed this manager in charger here. The fact that she completely deflected and absolved themselves of any mistake speaks volumes to the manager's character and qualifications for the role. In the end, the technician under her was the only one able to find an even remotely workable outcome. The manger said I would have to wait another 3-5 days or make a 3 hour trip to the nearest Apple Store with my phone. The technician offered to overnight the phone from the other store and have it for me the next day. It's his ability to come up with a solution that somewhat addressed the problem as to why this rating is a 2 instead of a 1. That technician should clearly be the manager of this store based on his ability to actually address customer concerns. read more

Boy, their customer service is completely absent when you go to this store. Let me tell you what happened. First of all don't ever expect to get their automated phone robot to ever let you call the store. It will transfer you over and over to customer support who might be able to help you, or not. And don't even think a chat will get you to the store, they can't do it. So after an exasperating amount of effort once you get through to the store, I was told that someone would call me back from the Genius Bar, within the hour, that never happened. In the beginning when I made my appointment with the Genius Bar, it seemed like it was going to be a pleasant experience. The tech was downloading the app into my new phone and he would periodically check in to see where it was in the process, and then he stopped. So after spending an additional 1/2 hr on top of the 1-1/2 hr I had already been there, he ghosted me. I tried to get the attention of one of the other techs who avoided me. Someone finally came to my rescue and told me that I could have gone home a long time ago. Bad experience that I have repeated time after time at this store in Stonestown. Much wasted time on my day off. Spent the whole day trying to load my replacement iPhone. Just plain awful! read more

Super friendly staff we were just helped by a african american young lady who was super helpful , kind, welcoming and friendly. What I notice that turned my experience all the way off is how the Yt security guard switch his stance and walked to the side of the store we were on and started at use in the store. I'm not only disgusted but wish they get a new security guard that does not profile. It makes the experience distasteful and unsatisfying. read more

The Apple Stonestown store is the most inefficient store with staff who aren't interested in helping customers. Even when one purchases a new product, no one wants to lift a finger to answer questions and just want to steer you to the internet. Very sad sales culture. Have found much better service at other stores but this location is most convenient to me. They don't value loyal customers like myself who have purchased over 10 Apple products. This young generation doesn't have good inter personable skills. read more

Worked with Jay. Good attitude and very helpful. Helped resolve the problem. Excellent Apple ambass

Staff is wonderful, but the store could use improvement. I hate how the Genius Bar forces you to sit facing other customers. An old couple was bickering right in front of my face, and I couldn't just change seats while waiting for the Apple Genius to return. Their stress became my stress. Their corporate dedication to the Apple aesthetic is over the top. I can't imagine it's very safe to have a fire extinguisher hidden behind the wall with a door with no handles, without obvious operating instructions, or even a symbol indicating the fire extinguisher is inside, for the folks who don't read English. I'm satisfied with the service but critical of the store itself. read more

Most of the staff here are super chill and understanding, but there was one guy Juan, I think that's his name, he was just straight-up annoying to talk to. I won't go into details in case he sees this and remembers me, but the way he acted was just rude and unprofessional. He sounded irritated the whole time, and unlike the other employees, he didn't have that friendly, helpful attitude. When I asked a simple question, he looked at me like I was stupid, kept cutting me off, and just seemed annoyed for no reason. Like, if you don't want to be at work, why even clock in? Apple's customer service is usually great, but this guy really needs to fix his attitude. Would appreciate it if management did something about him because he's making the store look bad. read more

My Stonestown Genius Bar visit a couple of months started promising but ended dysfunctional. I found an iPad that at home that I bought and never used so I went to get it added to my iPhone. The guy who helped me started promising, and then he slid into unprofessionalism by giving me shade over the number of saved passwords I had. MYOB! Of course the unused iPad had that famous apple obsolescence so I decided to buy a new model iPad but was misquoted the price and even with the trade-in I felt I was bait and switched on the price. I kept getting handed off and ended up with a masked young woman with slightly malevolent engery as she hoovered over me her impatience it was sharp. Of course, I complained to Apple and the manager of the store called me. But before he left a message, he made a theatrical intake of breath like he was so tired & over it HA and told me what I already knew: There was no manager or supervisor on duty that day but it was obvious. Typically I patronize downtown San Francisco, Apple Store and there's always a manager or supervisor on duty and the employees toe the line. I will never make the mistake of visiting Stonestown Genius Bar again. read more

I came to get my phone battery replaced and was told my phone would not be ready until the next day. My appointment was 3 hours from closing and the expected service time was 2 hours. Not sure why they told me they had to keep my phone overnight, but I said no. Came back next day, early morning. They asked a bunch of unnecessary questions to essentially warm me up to the major upselling they tried to do. I came to get my battery replaced because I don't want to buy a new phone. If I wanted to buy a new phone, I would say so. Just replace the battery and cut the bull. By the way, battery replacement was estimated online to take 2 hours. They quoted me 3 hours. It was not finished until close to 4 hours. read more

OUTRAGEOUS THIEVERY: I have almost 10,000 songs in my music library; songs that I downloaded from CD's. Yesterday I tried to play a song and it would not play. Every time I tried, it failed to play. Finally, I was able to gain access to my own library. Today, I received an email from those thieves telling me that I am "getting" a 3 month subscription to Apple Music which will only cost me $10.99 a month beginning in October. Imagine how I felt being told that I have to pay this whorish corporation to listen to my own music. I called them today. No apology but they say they will cancel "my subscription," the nerve is staggering, I despise these people. read more

First of all, the good news. Sales person (Stephan) was excellent. But after we bought a new phone, things did not go as well. We were moved to a table with 3 other folks, who had also purchased new devices, and one person supposedly helping all of us. We asked a question of the person 'helping' us (Clare), and she got offended when we challenged her response. You could actually see her freeze up. After that, she spent most of the time on the other customers and pointedly ignored us. One other Apple person, David, eventually replaced her, and he was very helpful. BTW, there were NO name tags for anyone. In some cases, we had to ask. No name tag = no accountability. it really feels like, once you have spent your money, you are not important. Perhaps another Apple Store does this better? read more

This review is for Vanessa, she was very kind and helpful to my questions and concerns. I had to wait about 20-30 mins for a walk in for a battery replacement and 2 hours for the repairing. But Vanessa made me feel good about the whole experience, happy she serviced me! read more

Always friendly clean responsive. Noad at the Genius Bar was Great on 10/09/25 with my MacBook pro that I had dropped and broke. Good technical advice, and best - he watched as I went to the sales person for the new mac, and saw that there was a miscommunication about the possibility of a data migration - and he saved me from losing all my data! They wouldn't have done the migration if he hadn't been watching and following up on what was happening. He is hearing impaired, but he is a Great Tech Advisor! Highly recommend him and the store. read more

Worse customer service EVER! Rude, unhelpful, all about the upsell. I've had better experiences on used car lots!

I purchased a 2021 iMac with an M1 chip in August 2023, and it broke just a year and a half later. For such an expensive device, I expected a certain level of quality, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. The repair technicians informed me that the logic board was malfunctioning and required repairs--after only a year and a half! I had to pay $530 for a repair on something that should have performed much better. I barely use this computer; I only have the Microsoft Office Suite installed--nothing else. To make matters worse, the repair person who returned my computer was completely disrespectful. When I asked about the cause of the problem, he simply replied, "We don't know. We only know it's broken. If you want to know more, that's a better question for an engineer." This happened at Stonestown Galleria. read more

Just came here to asked if they do battery replacement for iPhone XS, one employee had to make it difficult of getting "annoyed" okay then. But heading to a worker.
