Great experience at the Williamsburg Apple Store. The place was busy, but everything felt organized and professional. Taylor helped me out and did an excellent job. He was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly without rushing. He made sure my issue was fully resolved before I left, which I really appreciated. Customer service like that makes a difference. Highly recommend this location. -- Gabriel Evans read more

Apple Williamsburg gave me one of the greatest experiences I've ever had at an apple store, they had options for every apple product and accessory, even the vision pro! they also did not charge any more than the apple website and gave student discounts. read more

I should have read the reviews before going. Honestly, greeted kindly and then was super unhelpful. Apparently, "hardware" fixes only if they deem it is a hardware issue. And they did not have the part. They gave me vague information. read more

They have great customer service and were fully stocked with all the accessories when I went in. There were also plenty of phones to compare different models. read more

No one in this store has any idea what is going on. Upon being in the store I was told 4 different things by 4 different people in the same visit. I called 2x to leave my sister's name so she could pickup my repair phone for me. Both times someone in store said they'd take care of it. My sister went to pickup my phone and they would not release it to her- this is after I spoke to two different people. This store is disorganized and lacking leadership. read more

Bizarre experience here: On the one-hand : super agro sales rep got butt-hurt that I didn't "take advantage of this incredible deal" to buy a new iPhone (which I didn't need) while doing push-ups at the service desk?? Dude chill. On the other-hand : the other techs I spoke to were super nice and helpful, even suggesting that my phone was fine and I didn't need a new one. read more

took my laptop without an appt. It was fixed on the spot! Free of charge! only good things to say here! Thanks Genius Bar!

Would give zero stars if I could. Ordered a Mac Air for my college age so for pick up. Store kept him waiting for 1 hour and 45 minutes telling him they were waiting on a QR code. I had to call Apple Customer Service and put them on speaker so they could resolve the situation. No real apologies. Horrible customer service. They just don't give a shit read more

Friendly employees helped me to complete a trade in for my Apple Watches. They also helped with my new iPhone pickup and told me I had to mail that one in to trade it in because of the way it was purchased. The employees here are so eager to help when you walk in the store. It can be a little overwhelming sometimes but if you have a lot to take care of I recommend finding a place to sit down. I have had excellent experiences here earlier when I had a problem with my trade-in. read more

It used to be fun to shop at the Apple store and make spontaneous purchases but at this store it seems to have zero employees and they they force you to get an appointment to do spontaneous shopping and then you spend hours waiting which makes you rethink you large purchase and after 30 minutes you just leave and think hmm maybe I'll just buy from Best Buy since they don't act slow snails pace such as this store does and also you don't need an appointment for spontaneous shopping. I would avoid at all costs if you wanna shop. read more

My personal love this location but not the service. I live in the Neiborhood but every time I go to the store, I mostly get less priority. I order online and pick up or I had a problem with the phone, the front people seem to take me not to serious. Maybe they know I will buy the stuff anyway so no need to please, I still going to be a loyal customer no matter what, poor me. read more

What a joke. They're not setup for buying customers anymore, I guess? You have to sign up and wait 10 plus minutes despite sooooo many employees standing around and no transactions that I can see. The death of retail. Does IBM still make computers? read more

My old iPhone was shattered and I had AppleCare, so it was time for a replacement. There was someone to greet me as I entered the store and was told to sit in the back, within 8 minutes someone else came to greet me. This was very fast, a few pieces of information here and there and I was done. My wait came out to being longer because I had to backup, update and restore all in store. This was no one else's issue but mine, thus no stars being reduced because of wait time. When I had to get my replacement, I was sent to another area and within 3 minutes, my new phone was here. Sim was then replaced and I paid the free for replacing. That's it, straight to the point in a very fast manner. Very easy process as well, and a very spacious building with nice lively music playing to keep the mood up, I'll come back for my Apple needs. read more

Disorganized. Managers didn't help and had to wait 30 mins even though I had an appointment.

I was at this location 3times. Store friendly. I had questions about IPhone, I needed to make a reservation, someone canceled, so I got a spot. The store and manager were explaining to me until I got clear my all questions. Make sure if you don't need to come in, tell the store to cancel. It seems like a lot of ppl need to make a reservation! Bathroom is available when you ask :) read more

I've gone in like 10 times since they've opened. I wanted a laptop like 8 of those 10 times. Still don't have one. I'm talking like since it opened. I feel for employees most of the time, but I even had an employee say the word NO to me! that I was wrong about something, that I actually purchased that I have receipts for. I just turned and walked out. No time for that. read more

When to the store to buy AirPods Max. Had gift cards for the purchase in wallet. They brought the headphones out. I tried to make the purchase. Couldn't use my gift card unless I purchased for in store pickup. It said I had to wait for a text to pickup. 10 min late no text. To add insult to injury. They took the headphones back into the office. 40 Min and several phone calls to corporate ( they were no help either) I finally got the text. I've ordered stuff online for store pickup and it can take hours to go through. read more

Let's start by saying security or whatever he is, at the door is extremely rude. I was actually so annoyed I ended up leaving. I arrived for my phone repair and it was pouring down raining, I got there 20 minutes before my appointment time and the security at the door refused to check me in and made me wait out in the rain. I asked him when I could come back to register for my appointment and he said 10 minutes before my appointment time. Wtf? You slated me for being an extra 10 minutes early? I walked across the street to Wholefoods and came back within 10 minutes and he makes me do the long line again just to register. I don't know what his issue was with me but this was so unprofessional. My husband went to him and told him "She's here again on time so register her please" and that's when he registered me! I'm appalled! I was so upset because there were many workers inside not even working but just standing around while there's a line of people outside waiting. Never again. read more

I saw some yelpers complaining about not being allowed in more than ten minutes early. It's a pandemic and they keep their customers and staff safe, so I'm fine with waiting outside until it's time. I arrived ten minutes early. They scanned my QR code, took my temperature and had me stand in a socially distanced area. They had hand sanitizer and wipes. Wyatt led me from the queue to a large table away from others. I came in for keyboard repair and after a few tests, he set it up to be sent out for repair. He said it would be ready for pickup on 12/31, five days later. Wyatt and the rest of the Apple staff provided efficient and friendly service. I'll be back to pick up my laptop and its new keyboard. And it was no charge as It is under warranty. If you come early, wait in the While Foods across the street until 10 minutes to your appointment time read more

This is the worst Apple Store in New York. The manager, Anthony, and other employees are kind, so they really deserve that compulsory one star, but the service here makes this not a useful store. I need a battery replacement on my iPhone XS because the diminished battery throttles every other function of my device. My phone can only retain charge for a maximum of 2 hours, which is bad because I need it for RSA for work. I came to this location for a battery replacement, was told by Abel the batteries were not in stock, but was told "not to worry" as I would be "called in 3 - 4 days" and come in to have it replaced that day. Well no one called. I called the store for a few days and no one ever answered. I called customer support 10 days after my Genius Bar appointment to follow up and they told me that the Williamsburg Store cancelled my repair request and left no details on the ticket. As I have stated in my American Chinese takeout reviews, I can deal with bad customer service if the service/food is great, but this store provides the opposite, which is useless when I need the tangible service to be provided. read more

Hey Apple Store - You took my iPad trade-in and never gave me a refund. Pick up your phone and deal with this issue cowards read more

Our experience at the apple store was fantastic. They were efficient in diagnosing and troubleshooting an issue with my macbook pro and had it repaired in less than a week. I appreciated their honesty and how they kept me in the loop with periodic updates on the timeline for repair. When I went in to pick it up today there were no surprises. We had the pleasure of working with Alex who was also helped us purchase a new computer for our daughter. He was patient with us and took an interest in her needs to steer us in the right direction. In the end we left with a new computer, printer and iPad and could not be happier with the whole experience. I highly recommend this location and apple products. read more

This store is always busy with customers, but there never seems to be enough staff members on site. I tried to preempt this and actually scheduled an appointment. Note that you'll still end up waiting for someone to assist you and when that person comes by they might not be equipped to answer any of your questions. The amount of times staff members that came up to me to state "you're interested in PURCHASING more than one item?" before someone came by to actually show me any of those items was ridiculous and a major deterrent. My favorite store is the one on SoHo and the only one I go to if I ever need the Genius Bar, since it is a much better experience than all the stores I visited. Everything is clearly outlined (the Genius Bar and classes are on it's on floor) and it never feels cramped. The staff also seem very knowledgeable and appointments are met promptly. read more

Some bad things and some good. The employees in person when you are in their presence at the location are very good at their job. I had an easy time dropping off a non working iMac and picking it back up a few days later. Their issue @ this location is their phone service. After dropping off my computer I was told I would be contacted. I received a formal email a few days later telling me I needed to contact the store by phone to get important info on what was happening with my product. Seems simple right? Nope. I called for 2 days straight and nobody picked up the phone at this location. I called the main Apple general number at my wits end a few times and then finally got them to connect me with someone at the store. I was told by an employee they don't have anyone that formally answers the phone as a job at this location. Ok, so then maybe change the wording in the email. Why did I have to waste my time calling with no results. Either hire someone that manages the phone or figure out a new way to help customers get information. read more

My pick-up experience at Apple Williamsburg was terrible and Apple just failed to fulfill its pick-up commitment to its loyal customers. I believe I'm not the only one who experienced this issue and I felt helpless that no one from Apple was really trying to help me. I wasn't against any individual person. But, I was indeed disappointed by Apple's customer service in general. They pretended to help me but in fact, was not being helpful at all. Apple could just let me know when the order will be ready. Or, send me an email to apologize. Nothing sincere has been shown. I tried to file a complaint but found nowhere to do it on Apple's website. My intention is not to leave a bad review for the store, which I didn't do. I just hope someone could spot and fix their customer service and this big corporate attitude. Any local business would be more humane and friendly to its customers. Apple, time to give me that computer. I know you sell computers. read more

DON'T GO TO THIS STORE!! Some of their staff treat people very, very badly here. I went in because I got locked out of my own phone. I had dropped the phone and part of the touch screen stopped responding. They took it upstairs and after a very long wait, I was told it needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, they did not have my screen size in stock. After reminding the employee, Ms. Davis, that I had already been there for hours and really need my phone repaired. She wasted a ton of time telling me they could have it sent from another location, she then proceeded to tell me I really should just go somewhere else. She said, "Oh just run over to 14th Street, they have the screen there and it will be a lot quicker." She could clearly see I use a cane to walk. They made me stand around for hours and now they told me to hurry up and go somewhere else. This response of course is what was convenient for them, but not for me. I asked to speak to the manager, and she got to the manager before I did and they both started talking about me. As I approached them, Thaima, the "manager" said, "Oh she's coming." Thaima, also repeated the same thing and said that I really should go to 14th Street. My response was that I was already there for almost 3 hours and it was not my fault they didn't have the right size screen in stock. They both proceeded to blame me for having my previous phone screen installed by a "third party". I kept asking both of them, what difference does that make?? Apple is the one that allows the phones to lock people out, and Apple Store Williamsburg is the one who doesn't have my screen in stock. They were both arguing with me and telling me even if the new screen gets there by 7:30, they won't have time to fix it until the next day. I responded that why would that happen since I'm already in the queue. "Oh no, they shouted, You're not in the queue." I said, " Oh yes I am. I've been here since 2:30." Apparently, Ms. Davis and Thaima do not know how to think correctly. I told them I could be back by 7:00. They refused to let me leave my phone at the store. They both lied that they are not allowed to hold onto the customer's phone. I had already witnessed other customers leaving their phones there until the next day. I told them I need to get home and feed my pets, to which the nasty witch, Ms. Davis, responded, "Oh you'd better hurry up before they starve to death." I didn't expect this to end well since both of these horrible people were only trying to help themselves and not me. They spoke to me rudely, they lied repeatedly, and disregarded that I'm an older person who uses a cane, and that I had already been there 3 hours and was starting to get tired. When I returned at 7:00, they had already bad-mouthed me to the manager, Devon, and so it was Devon's turn to lie. His first lie was that they were having trouble with the "Calibrator" and were not able to do any repairs. I told him that he was lying and that I had just seen two phones being taken upstairs for repairs. He then lied a second time and said that the part hadn't come in. I told him, I just spoke to 2 different employees and both of them already told me the part had arrived to the store and was good to go. Devon, then proceeded to lie a third time by telling me the repair would take an hour and a half and therefore there was not enough time. I responded that he was lying and that a screen replacement takes 20 minutes, and that he had already wasted a half hour lying to me. You can see that these 3 employees behaved horribly, unprofessionally, and disgracefully to me, a customer. They think they are working there to TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES, BUT NOT THE CUSTOMERS. P.S.: If you need an iphone repair, once you find a reputable third party, they do a great job, they're fast, and much cheaper. For example, after this disgusting visit to Apple Store Williamsburg, I had my screen repaired in 20 minutes for 50% less money, and they also thanked me. The place is on 196 Broadway in Williamsburg. Ironically, it's only a few short blocks away from the Apple Store. read more

Incredible inefficient. they don't know how to prioritize people. If you have a tiny minor thing that needs to be done, you need to make an appointment that leads you to a line that then leads you to another line. Then once you're in, even though your issue can be resolved in less than 3 minutes, it's in a queue for things that take literally hours so you need to end up coming back the next day (or later) even though you can literally fix the thing yourself if you just got your product back already. Please reevaluate your process, Apple. It's garbage and inefficient. read more

I schedule a class and it was so loud and noisy I was not able to heard Daniel, the speaker. There was one guy pink hair dancing with loud music. Then two guys sat in front of me to talk no consideration or respect. I complained to the manager. This location needs to do classes virtually. Not good for business not everybody is young and technically savvy. read more

Came here to upgrade to iPhone 10 and they were not helpful. Waited around for assistance that never arrived. When we went over to get assistance.

Apple is dropping the ball in America's biggest city. SMH.... Open the downtown store NOW or send those workers to help Williamsburg. Right AirPod not working. Sat there for over TWO hours, spent $100, nothing changed with my issue. Most of the staff blase' and unprofessional. The guy who helped me was nice but the system failed. They didn't even make sure my problem was fixed. Now I have to go back with no appt. read more

Some people seem super helpful and some are "on to the next" type of attitude. My phone needed to get fixed overnight. The person helping me get it back was like here's your phone have a nice day etc... you can back it up at the store or at home but might take a bit- less than 2 mins interaction. Since my phone was having issues I decided to stay at the store to update. First, they forgot to place in my sim card, another apple member was super nice and helped me figure that out and find it- since it took a bit but he was patient as the phone became locked. Then I'm updating the phone but it needs 20% of the battery to update- while my phone was being fixed it died. Hey apple why wouldn't you plug in my phone overnight after working on it? Common sense? read more

If I could leave a negative five stars, that would be my rating. I purchased a custom built macbook pro from the apple website, maxing out the specifications on it for my video editing needs. The problem started with that model macbook having a defective gpu. The mac started skipping, choking on video footage, exports take hours instead of seconds now. apple informed me it would have to be shipped back to apple, since the stores only carry base models, nothing near the build i have. which cost $6000. problem for me was, I physically could not part with the laptop for how many days because of work. Because of that, my apple care eventually ran out. i finally had time to get the repair done, so i took it to apple Williamsburg. they ran a diagnostics, needed a new logic board, it was going to cost me $700. all i needed was a copy of the diagnostics report and a receipt, then i could submit this thru my gear insurance to have the repairs paid for. the tech promised he understood the situation and would email it to me. but did not. After wasting hours on the phone for days, I had to schedule another visit to the apple store. Meanwhile repeated attempts to get the report from apple were unsuccessful so my insurance won't cover it. i took the macbook in, again. sat with the tech for over an hour describing the issue: the macbook needs a new gpu. the techs aren't testing the computer connected to external monitors to be able to diagnose what I already know. He promised me it would be taken care of, they were overnighting the laptop to the repair center. I'll skip the part where the FedEx driver actually tried to steal the laptop rather than deliver it to me when apple shipped it back. Which was fast, they overnighted it back and forth. I open the box, see the custom skin missing off my laptop. No reason that should've been removed since they were replacing the bottom piece and logic board, right? Wrong. Apple decided to just replace the display on my macbook without authorization. A display that worked just fine. this macbook is in pristine condition, it's been skinned from day one and sits closed in a macbook dock on my desk. I've barely ever even touched the keyboard.Not only did they make unauthorized repairs, but they captured my card 3 x's placing several thousand dollars on hold for over a week and a half. My laptop was never repaired, I have to go back, again. I've now missed 14 days worth of editing work because of the incompetency of the techs at this store, which is now in excess of $10,000 in wages I've lost with no working computer, and no backup to work on. Unfortunately I'll just have to wait as I don't have any other options but the techs at this store, although polite, are utterly INCOMPETENT in helping resolve this matter. Absolutely unacceptable that a brand as large as Apple thinks this is how to treat long term customers. read more

A little bummed that the sales guy told me the phone could do certain things but turns out it can't. For the money to spend on these things , they should be clear and know what they are talking about . For a company that is suppose to be a top runner , maybe keep the staff more consistent. As far as being good about social distancing , they are doing a great job at that . read more
