I want to PRAISE CAM for his expert help on getting my AOL email account working again! It went down about 2.5 months ago and I struggled trying to get it running again, but couldn't. Today, 3/25/2026, Cam had it working in about 15 minutes. Thank you so much Apple Store and specifically CAM!!!!!!! A very satisfied customer, Dorran McBride read more

4/25/2026 Things went pretty well. I knew what I wanted. I was greeted and allowed to view the iPhone I was going to purchase online. I like it. Good reviews in the phone. No help was needed even though I was approached as soon as I walked in and the gentleman was ready for the sale. No complaints I recommend this location arrive early before the afternoon rush. Time to upgrade. read more

Crowded but good. Long wait when I brought my iPad in for possible repair. They ended up replacing it, and pickup was smooth. For the record, hate the mall. But glad there's an Apple Store to take my glitchy devices to. read more

Yikes is all I can say! I never go into the store and now I see why. Scheduled a battery replacement that I am paying for. Upon arriving instead of checking me in the rep canceled my appt. I sat there for 40 min before checking into to see what's going on with my appointment to learn it was canceled. Get it together! Your Apple for gods sake! read more

Went to get an Apple TV remote looked at. I was referred by AppleCare to go to the store. The remote is missing a power button. My ATV was out of warranty so it was $49 for service part w/90 day warranty or I bought a new one for the 1yr warranty. read more

They were able to update my full phone with a computer. I hadn't been able to update 4x's due to not enuf GB. I needed a new phone but wasn't willing to spend $1000 right now. So this helped. read more

Absolutely useless group of individuals. Spent an hour watching those idiots come up with the most outrageous "solutions" that all ended with us buying a new phone after buying a new one just last year. Empty promises and luck of knowledge and costumer service is astonishing. Better yet couldn't have even unlock the new phone after we bought a new one WITH NO TRADE IN FOR A FULLY FUNCTIONAL PHONE. :) Go elsewhere would recommend the Bellevue location. Worth the drive read more

They refused to help me pair a set of earbuds to my iPhone because the earbuds were not AirPods. Then they tried to get me to buy some of theirs. The issue was with my iPhone not the earbuds. Terrible service and the business is full of grifters in my opinion. Worst Apple Store I've ever seen! read more

On 6/24/25,, I purchased a 13 inch iPad Air at the Apple Store in the Tacoma Mall. After getting home and watching some more videos about pros and cons of iPad Air's versus iPad Pros, I decided the 11 inch iPad Pro was a better fit for me. Today, I returned to the Apple store in the Tacoma Mall to exchange my 13 inch iPad Air for an 11 inch iPad Pro. Unfortunately, I forgot to write down the names of the employees who helped me the night before and today, but both were very professional and helpful. They were also very patient in answering all of my questions, and I had a LOT. Normally, I set up my devices myself, but because I'm staying in a home with spotty Wi-Fi, I asked for help doing that in the store. Le Roy helped me with that. Because I was going from an iPad Air 3 to a new iPad Pro, which was a significant upgrade, Le Roy educated me about the differences and showed me how to use my new iPad Pro. He also showed me how to use my new AirPods. I had questions about some of my other Apple devices that Le Roy answered as well. In addition, I learned that Apple stores have free classes available daily re: how to use various devices. Although I am a resident of Idaho, I was so impressed with the service I received at the Apple Store in the Tacoma Mall that I will be making a point of purchasing all of my Apple products here in the future. Highly Recommended!!! read more

I had a great experience at this Apple Store. Braden replaced the battery in my phone quickly and also revived my iPad which had not had IOS updates in five years. He was very friendly and tech savvy. I went back to the Apple store today and Roman fixed my mother's cell phone in 5 minutes. She'd been trying to get her carrier to fix it for months with no luck. Customer service at this store is outstanding. read more

I recently visited the Apple Store at Tacoma Mall- which I haven't been in a while. I needed to purchase a new case for my iPhone. The customer service I received was beyond what I remember it had been at any Apple Store. I worked with Jonathan, Michael, LaRoy and Lydiana on two separate recent visits. All of them were exceptional in the service they provided me! I learned a lot about the new devices I was purchasing and they even told me about a few services they provide that pertain to business development. I really enjoyed the procreate tutorial class that I dropped in during lunch time! It was led by LaRoy and I believe Jonathan also leads those classes as well. Thank you for the awesome customer service! read more

Good experience for a bad situation. The wife broke her brand new phone and it was going to be almost 700 dollars to fix it. Unfortunately it was a total loss,but the staff were kind, caring, and helpful. read more

It's an Apple store and does what an Apple store does. I came here with my husband looking for a computer bag, didn't find one. They give them away with new purchases but we didn't find out until a year later and instead of giving us one, they apologized for not helping us. Thanks, Apple. I came by here again to buy a charging cord and then realized that I had other options so I returned it, which was easy. I did get to buy it with my iPhone which was cool and took a couple of cool pics. So, it was a fine store for what it was. read more

Had a very unpleasant chat with the manager regarding battery issues on my iphone 15 pro, he essentially told me after running diagnostics that my options were to trade in and buy a new phone or limit my phone usage. My applecare would only cover if my battery health was 79% or less... it was at 80%. Stuck around to speak to someone different and Ali was amazing! She reran diagnostics and found i had a system stability issue read more

The Apple Store all the employees doing great job . Very clean store . Specially Oscar take care me lot . So I feel he is so professional and nice deal with the customer. read more

The Genius Bar was very helpful with the issue with my watch, but can't say the same for the manager... I've had quite a few watch replacements and they were unable to assist me in further inquiries regarding watches. Will see if Apple support can assist me. read more

had 2 trade ins that I was charging and they finally powered up. The guy who was helping says "I'll be with you in just a second". he continues with his current customer for 20 minutes then takes another one right after when Im sitting at the charging table. horrible customer service. ask another associate to take me or the other customer. read more

I love Apple Tacoma Mall. The people are friendly and the services are excellent. I've had the opportunity to visit all three of their departments: Sales, tech support, and education. Stepping into the store for the first time can be a little harrowing. There is very little signage, only employees tasked with guiding customers. The sales department, where all their products are on display, is at the front of the store. The Genius Bar (their tech support) is on the last row of tables, and their Forum, where they teach free educational classes called "Today at Apple," is on the cubes in the back (in front of the giant screen. You can't miss it). Some Pro Tips for visiting an Apple Store: 1. Let someone know why you're there. Virtually everything is appointment-based, so it's best to make reservations online before coming in. If you don't have an appointment, they'll do everything they can to get you seen in a timely manner, but know that they receive a LOT of traffic. They have digital queues that keep track of who you are, what you want, and where you are in the store. Brevity is key when talking to the folks with iPads - they just need a name, and whether you want sales/tech support/education. They'll get you where you need to be. 2. If you already know what you want, order online. You can pickup online orders in-store, and it'll save you a ton of time if you do some research beforehand. You can also use the Apple Store app on your phone to pay for accessories in-store without having to talk to anyone. 3. Know your Apple ID. Your Apple ID is your key to all your information. If you're upgrading, you'll need your Apple ID. If you're repairing your phone, you'll need your Apple ID. They don't have many ways to change your password if you don't know it - your data is YOUR responsibility. 4. Attend their Today at Apple sessions. Today at Apple is the name for their free classes. They teach sessions on a wide variety of topics, from "Getting Started with iPhone" to Photo Walks where you actually leave the store with the teacher to practice taking beautiful pictures on location. I've loved my experiences with these classes - you always pick up something new. 5. Be kind. Assume positive intent. The staff genuinely wants to give you a great experience, and if you're kind, they'll bend over backwards for you. read more

Stopped by to purchase a MacBook Air. Checked in and was told somebody would be with me very soon. Waited and waited and waited. Finally left and went across the street to Best Buy and bought it there for less than the Apple Store wanted. read more

Eli from sales was attentive and had answers for every question I had without having to look anything up. Also gave me options for the best way to purchase and didn't push me at all to make a same day purchase. Glad he was able to help me today read more

Wonderful customer service, quick and easy-in & out in no time! Everyone I encountered was friendly & beyond helpful!

This store needs help. You make an appointment online and they are prompt to getting you seated at your appointment time, but then you wait a very long time. We waited almost one hour for someone to acknowledge us. In total we were in the store for over two hours. When we finally were helped our options for our iPad were not clearly explained. Less than a year of using it and something failed internally. She could not offer any sort of reasoning as to why that would happen. Of course the warranty expired a week prior. When we were given options we ended up purchasing a new iPad of the same generation, but she took the old one. She never said we would have to give them our old one when we signed or the reasoning behind that when we still paid over three hundred dollars for a new one that is the last generation. Customer service is very off here. The thing that makes zero sense is the requirement for masks in this store. Everyone must have a mask on, but you have people sitting, touching displays, and kids playing on all of the chairs and no one is sanitizing anything. If you are looking for an Apple store and this is an only option good luck to you! I'd drive to Seattle next time. read more

They fixed my Mac for free after trying EVERYTHING to download the new IOS on my computer. Even after calling Apple, they said to take it in. It took them a few days but they were able to save my Mac. Thank you Apple Tacoma !!! read more

No amount of words can explain how impressed I am with the staff and service I received at the Apple Store. My issue started Wednesday night when my iPhone 13 Pro's screen went completely black on me. I was so stressed out when realizing how much I relied on my phone. It felt like my whole life was on my phone and I couldn't access any of it. Thursday morning, I went into my local T-Mobile store for assistance and I left there so disappointed as she said to contact the Apple Store or file an insurance claim. Then she had the nerve to try and sell me the 14 but I would still have to pay the remaining balance on my 13. I was appalled that to her that even made any sense. SMH. At this point, I contacted the Apple support number. I am not even going to lie after reading reviews I prepared myself for a bad outcome. I have to laugh because from the very first encounter it was nothing but pleasure and helpfulness. We troubleshooted together and once we reset the phone with iTunes, I could not remember my password. Well then all kinds of issues started. I could not log into my emails because of the stupid 2 step authentication processes. When you don't have a phone to send that code to it doesn't work. I ended up setting an appointment up which was easy and they accommodated me to make sure I got same day appointment for after I got off work. My in store experience was AMAZING!!!! From the time I walked in the reps were so nice. U have to give a huge shoutout to MELVIN for his assistance. He was a genius at his job. He knew exactly what to do. He was patient with me since I relied on my phone to save passwords and use face recognition to open everything (I know now this is big mistake to rely on this feature). Anyways, you live and you learn. End of the story is I could not have done this without the help from Melvin. I had Apple Care thank goodness as it saved me from paying hundreds of dollars. I will definitely sign up for the insurance after this plan expires from my carrier. Once in eligible for upgrade I won't be buying it from T-Mobile instead I will check out the Apple Store first. I am so thankful to your help with fixing my phone within a couple hours I was walking away with a new screen and working phone. Your amazing and don't let these reviews discourage you from doing your job properly! read more

Ok so here's thing with Apple stores in any mall location, the experiences are really based on what your expectations are. So here's a few lessons I've learned to help you be prepared: 1. If you go on a product launch date, have an appointment and don't expect to casually browse. 2. If you need something fixed, have an appointment first and also be prepared to wait when you arrive for your appointment. Also, maybe do you own homework on what may be the issue so you can properly explain it. 3. It's a retail store so expect a retail experience. Listen, I love as much as the next fan boy but this still is a retail store. Not every employee is there to make your dreams about apple products a reality. But that's okay but if you happen to find the few employees who are passionate about their products then you'll get a really awesome experience 4. Not every "available" employee is actually available. These stores tend have specific people do specific jobs. That being said, if you get redirected by an Apple employee to another employee, section, etc then don't take it as they aren't being helpful. You should take it as they are getting you to the right person. Also- tell the people who greet you at the front what you need versus just roaming around and then trying to find someone who looks available. Overall, most of these stores (including Tacoma) are exactly what I expect it to be. A retail store that sells products I personally enjoy. Keep the 4 lessons above in mind and you should be ok. read more

The best store ever! I came here to buy an iPhone a month ago, staffs there were just exceptional. They were super patient and understood how parents felt. Staffs here explained to us all the details about parental control and helped us set up the phone for our teen perfectlly. PLUS! I lost my airpods there and I went back to look( after a month:)). Guess what! The store manager, Ramsy, I think, took his valuable time to look for us and found it. I cannot thank the staff enough for being so helpful! . read more

We had a terrible experience with the techs and greeter staff at the Tacoma mall store. They were rude all around and didn't want to help fix our problem unless. They gave various options of things that "might" fix the problem without actually diagnosing the issue. One said it would be 3 days, another said 6 but then said it would be longer because they don't count Sundays. After becoming completely frustrated with their complete lack of interest we decided to take our computer to the Southtowne store and got immediate and helpful service. We will NOT be back to the Tacoma fiasco. read more

Picked up my new phone on the upgrade program yesterday evening. Order Pick-up staff told me to take my new phone home to activate and contact Apple Support to return my upgrade phone. Contacted Apple Support today and they told me the only way to return my previous upgrade phone is to take it to the store where I picked up the new phone . Unfortunately, Tacoma Mall is not convenient to my house. I feel the staff did not want to be bothered activating a new phone and accepting the upgrade return and sent me on my way and have Apple Support take care of it. I feel the in-store staff should know how the process works. Now I have to find time to go back to Tacoma Mall. Very disappointed. read more

Is it in a mall.... Yes. Down a point because all malls I swear no matter where you park you are 4,000 feet from the side you need to be on. Is it going to be crowded? ... yes. This sucks down a point. Is it an apple store? Yes. Which means you likely don't care about this review because you are going here to get the new iPhone that comes out every month right after you just purchased one read more

I've been a long time Apple fan. that seems to be changing pretty quickly. I've got a set of Airpods Pros that sound fine to me but, everyone I talk to on them says there's a lot of cracking and popping noise. I had full intentions of buying new headphones but, that went bad. I asked the little gal at the door that greeted me if anyone knew what this noise is that others have complained about. all this little gal wanted to do was get me scheduled for a Genius Bar visit. wait. either this is a known problem or there isn't... her not knowing isn't my complaint. what irritates me is the blank look of confusion on her face and inability to get someone who could answer simple questions. can these headphones be tested in some way? she didn't know and seemed unwilling to consult anyone. when I stated I didn't want the Genius Bar appointment her confused look returned. when I said that Apple was losing a good customer one visit at a time. she had a serious "who cares" kind of look. I was so put off by the lack of ability in taking care of the customer in front of her that I bypassed buying my headphones there and went elsewhere. read more

Bad customer service and long lines. Unfriendly staff, do yourself a favor a go to another location.

Buying accessories- it was mildly busy when I came in after 6pm. I am not sure if I wanted to purchase an actual product how that would have gone but after purchasing usb c to usb was super easy. Got checked out right away. Tiffany was super nice and efficient. Accessories are located at the back left corner. That was the only thing I had to find on my own. But once I was there it was simple to check out. A lot of stock on this item. read more

All I wanna add to my prior review is DON'T GIVE UP! I'll admit I've been here, at the Tacoma mall Apple store, five times in the past two weeks. I had a small crack in my screen and initially came in to get it fixed two weeks ago. Unfortunately for me, someone other than me used my AppleCare (AC) insurance. I know this is not the stores fault, not the technicians fault yet it still made it impossible for *ME*, the payer of the AC insurance AND the user of the iPhone to obtain care for my device. Through diligence, kindness (again remember not the technicians fault) and persistence, I am now walking away with my newly screen-replaced iPhone...with a newly purchased screen saver. Best $40 I've spent in awhile! read more

Order online. If not, definitely schedule an appointment online. I got here at the open, lots of people waiting. A 20 minute wait turned into a 45 minute wait. Got to hear two employees dissing their company, wander around, and get very stressed. Here's a suggestion: have two groups, one for people actually buying some thing and another for people who just had questions on their current equipment. It's not rocket science. I'll never come in the store again. I will just order online. Oh, one hour and waiting, and watching at least five sales people standing around talking on their phones or talking to each other. read more

I was super happy in the beginning with how my experience with the Tacoma Mall Apple store was going when my appointment started. When I first walked in I was greeted instantly. everyone was very friendly and really helpful. They were super quick. I came in at 2:30 and they were able to get my phone done by 3:30. Unfortunately, when wrapping up my appointment things turned to the worst. I went to go buy a screen protector for my new screen when I first initially walked up the red headed gal with tattoos and glasses was assigned to assist me. She was very, very rude right off the bat she asked to see my phone to put the screen protector on and dropped my phone screen down on the table which resulted in a scratch on my screen that i just had gotten replaced. She didn't apologize and then handed me off because she needed to leave to another employee. The other girl that helped me was super kind and she was the one that saw the scratch initially on my phone and I told her the situation management was very kind about it. However, customer service is huge! The lack of customer service the girl who dropped my phone gave me is unacceptable. read more

URGENT MATTERS, NEW PHONE While in travels and walking the Tacoma waterfront and away from familiar grounds, my phone completely crapped out on me. I had rushed to the closest Apple store without an appointment and was quickly seen. Waited in line for 5 minutes and then got my temperature checked and was able to be helped immediately afterwards. Got a new phone within 30 minutes but was sent on my way 1) without setup because for some reason they won't do setup at the store 2) couldn't get to a backup unless I was connected to WiFi - again away from familiar grounds 3) completely disconnected from old phone and new phone for about 1hr - while traveling my phone was blowing up with hundreds of messages and many missed calls. Getting a new phone and still being disconnected was SO inconvenient. Later, I realize I got the wrong phone. I ended up coming back and doing a full refund to get the right phone. This time the person who helped me let me set up the phone in the store - only took 15/20 minutes so I wouldn't be completely disconnected. OVERALL, happy with customer service. Happy with product. read more

I was having trouble with my AirPods purchased well over a year ago and out of warranty. After some online research I found out that because of the issues I was experiencing I might qualify for a free replacement. So the other day I took them into the Tacoma Mall Apple Store for testing after making an appointment beforehand. I arrived about 30 minutes for my appointment but got in line anyway since there wasn't anyone outside to check-in with. When I got to the counter I explained that I was early but the technician said no worries and inquired about my problem. After explaining the problem she connected the case with the AirPods inside to a dongle and ran a test, shortly thereafter saying she would get a replacement pair and within 5 minutes I was on my way with a new pair of AirPods. That's what I call great customer service and standing behind your product. Thank you very much Apple! read more

Had an old laptop I could not access and online tech support could not help. However I went in person and Nate was able to help me gain access!

Very professional and helpful staff they have here! read more

Complaints: 1. Long time (from 30min to 1 hour) to wait for support person showing up. 2. Had issue on a Macbook Pro, the system briefly indicated some disk failure before it died immediately. After a few days, got it back from the store saying it is fixed. Apparently not after one day use. The 2nd time, the store said it was detected with some screen failure and replaced new part. However, my special nice camera cover was took off and lost in their service department. They just said "oh sorry". How was I suppose to know they would replace a screen since it detected disk failure at the beginning? 3. Recently had a keyboard error on the new MackBook Pro. The tech tried to clean it and said it needed to be replaced with new part. He scanned the S/N and promised that I just need to drop at the store next time (since I had to backup data). After 2 days I came back, they could not find my record and I had to wait for another hour to get the service to check it up again. This time a different tech spent 20 minutes in the back and said it was fixed. Apparently not when I got it back home to use it. Give it low rating due to very poor service in this store. read more
