Fixed all issues - no charge
First time I went in, i had issues with my 6s. Camera wasn't focusing at all and battery was draining quickly. A quick look and they saw there was dust or something in the lens, so they gave me a whole new phone for free. Amazing, since i bought the phone second hand on eBay! So i had no insurance or anything for it.
Battery issues happened with new phone, it was draining when off. Went in, they plugged it in and checked a few things, again gave me another new one no issues.
I then sold it and bought an X and haven't had an issue since.
Super responsive, super efficient. Very happy.

Very knowledgeable and polite rep - a huge help!
The lovely gentleman I dealt with walked me through every step with clear explanations, to help get my Mac back in action. I couldnt be more pleased with his service.

Get your act together Apple and start treating your repair customers with a bit of respect
I took my laptop into the Sydney Apple store today to have a battery replaced. It's a mid-2014 Macbook Pro Retina, and I was advised the repair will take 7-10 days and cost $289.
How is it even remotely acceptable by any standard of customer service that a battery replacement can take so long? The price I expect, but the time to repair is unthinkable. Either they have too few staff, or they are receiving too many faulty products back for repair. Either way, this is something a customer should be shielded from.
One of the battery segments ...Read more
was swollen up like a pillow. How is it even remotely acceptable that such a poorly designed product can have such a short life span, and not be covered by a fit-for-purpose warranty? I advised them I would be commenting on the experience, and this is my first post. I don't have high expectations my next post will be any more flattering of Apple, or of their products. If they do come through within a reasonable repair time, I'll gladly update this post to reflect that. If not, I'll take more time to articulate exactly why I will not be purchasing any further Apple products, either for myself or my family.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Apple repair - ridiculously long timeframes
My MacBook Air is giving the message that it needs a new battery. Apple Store Brisbane are quoting a 5 to 7 DAY turn around - yes DAYs!! not hours. Apple say they won't order in the new battery until I've brought the MacBook into the store and handed it over to a technician. I suggested they order in the battery now for next week and book a day for me to get it repaired when the battery arrives, but no, they won't do that. I can't do without the computer for that long. Ridiculously poor service. Will buy a non-Apple laptop next.

Lousy service
I paid $650 for an Apple Watch at Robina. Best Life I got was 4 hours a day. Took it back 4 days later. All I got was some fast talking idiot that said I needed to book a Genius Bar in two weeks time. Really? This, and I repeat, fast talking idiot, would not accept the fact that under Australian Consumer laws, I have rights.
It got to a heated argument, to the point where I said that I would get his Genius Bar, smash the watch with it, and then beat him with it. With that, the fast talking idiot got a manager. Wrath replaced. No problems now.
Why does it have to get to this? Apple at Robina need to look at their fast talking idiots and sack them

Apple Chadstone simply shocking service
We went to the Apple Chadstone store to swap our waterlogged dead 6s Plus 64 gb phone for another . I phoned first and the salesman said no problems. He said Apple could swap it over for a cost of about $460. No problem I said. On Saturday afternoon, 12 October 2022, we wasted more than an hour in a very very noisy hot store. The young lass serving us was speaking so fast and in technical terms I did not understand. She kept on about how they could do this and that. But I explained to her several times - I just want to buy or swap for a new ph...Read more
one and they kept on asking for the ID of the old phone. Why on earth would they worry about the old phone? We just kept going around and around in circles. The original 6s Plus we bought was rubbish and was swapped over for another as it was under warranty. I really think these Apple iPhones are not very good. More than $1,000.Similar opinion?

apple service worth less than an apple with a bite taken out
I have purchased for my business over the space of ten years 4 desktop Macs, 2 MacBooks, five iPads and I have lost count of the amount of iPhone I have purchased lets say maybe a dozen. 18 months ago I brought an iPhone X for $1800, within a couple of months I dropped it at work, and put a crack in the backside of the phone, the phone worked perfectly fine but I had it repaired at my own expenses nonetheless. only about two months ago it began to freeze up it got worse until it completely froze up. apple refused to fix it (despite paying for t...Read more
he extra warranty cover at the retailer) they said it had an "unauthorised modification", this apparently voided all warranty and possibilities of repair through apple despite my offer to pay for the repair. I then see on their website that you can trade in your old phone and pay $599 for the latest version, I asked what they do with the old phone they explained that they are recycled, I said so they are chucked away? Yes!, so I offered to trade in my phone then they back peddled denying me this option also. I have never claimed a repair on any of the above mentioned apple devices except this one time, and I'm denied any and all possibilities to replace or repair my phone its disgusting. I will never purchase another apple again!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

If Apple was a communist state we’d already be at war.
I have been a loyal Apple customer for twenty + years, having spent most of my company and work expenditure on Apple and actively promoting their products for this entire time of my own accord...
and now, completely un-able to upgrade, change hardware or get certifiable third l-party assistance, Apple have completely made two of my main income earners completely useless by purposefully bringing out an update that has made their personally installed hardware products redundant in both of my work machines machines.

Terrible service and warranty handling.
Tried to get an Apple watch replaced which battery had swollen and popped the display off the metal frame.
Watch purchased with Apple care+ was over warranty period but I had reported the issue of something appearing to press against the back of the LCD display during warranty period and it was noted on the file. Representative in the store and Manager told me that, in their opinion the reported issue during the warranty period, which could not be diagnosed with Apples diagnostic software and the fault are not related. It seems that Apple's extra warranty (Apple care+) are not worth purchasing anymore and that stores are trying to get out of warranty issues no matter what. This is not the Apple experience I knew and loved.

Defrauded at a cost of $179.99
I normally find the store useful and fair. However I recently enquired about the Better Me app to find that I was immediately charged $179.99 without my authorisation. I have contacted the app without any success. Apps like these should be regulated by Apple, a trusted source for consumers. I feel I will not enquire re any further apps as I am uncertain if I will be charged a hugely inflated price.

Very disappointed
I ordered and paid a $195.80 deposit for a $1000 Apple Air cellular a week ago and have been advised it will be another two or three weeks.
Very very disappointed.

My iPad Pro 3rd Generation. I really enjoy it. I have already worked out how this device can come in very handy. BUT!
I ordered it 6 weeks ago and found the price dropped by $300 last week after 4 years. I requested a $300 voucher for AppleStore but they refused! Very disappointing!

Poor service at Chadstone store
Hi
Just wanted to let you know my terrible experience at your Chadstone store by a apple assistant named Nick H.
I went in to get my iphone replaced, but he was either helpful or knowledgeable. It ended up been all my data from my old iphone getting erased and could not recover on new phone.
Nick did nothing to help, he's product skill was poor, did not know how to use itune in windows....
I hope this feedback is looked into so other customers are not affected by his disgusting attitude.
Regards

Apple laptop - iMac PC Firmware EFI chip password locks
Buyers beware of 2nd hand Apple laptops or iMac PC purchases. This is an expensive lesson I've learnt this week.
Those particular items should be listed as "Faulty & for parts only!" Whether they are able to turn on or have been wiped with a new install.
My experience recently with this is an issue world-wide that the Firmware EFI chip is locked.
I cannot unlock the Apple EFI (BIOS password) as the original owner set it up.

nlock it! So paying hundreds of dollars for Apple products you could be left with a dud. Especially if the HDD fails then it's an expensive paper-weight. It is also very difficult even as an experienced IT Tech to remove the password which could cost a couple of hundred dollars.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Good stuff! Caring people!
I recently went to this store for data recovery for my Mac. Plus replacing my Ipad Air after my baby crashed it. Apple Bondi Junction store really have amazed me with their caring service.
Charlotte is the young lady who served me at their genius Bar. Professionally resolved my problem after with my Mac after my dramatic incident. There were chances of cross selling a new IPad where they can charge me more. However they thought ahead for me, judging I have a young baby, it’s best not to upgrade with something too fancy in case my baby accidentally ruins it again. Will definitely go back to this store.

Give It Up For Apple!
I personally found the Apple Online Store easy to navigate and it provided more than enough information to make a well informed decision. The range of products available for purchase is phenomenal.
I suggest if you're in the market for anything Apple and you can't make it to your nearest store, then jump online immediately. The shipping costs are quite reasonable and the tracking available is peace of mind.
I got an awesome deal on my new iPhone & matching case thanks to the team at Apple and I was kept informed of the progress of my order & shipment via text msg and email every step of the way.

Why won't my iPad Pro work after a software upgrade? The screen is blank and there is no sign of life after trying to restart it multiple times by pressing the power button, etc. I totally blame the software upgrade for this situation! Is this Apple's way of forcing me to replace what was a perfectly functioning iPad? I'm not impressed.

Why don’t your products last ver long ?
3 answers
I can only speak from my experience,but apart from having problems with my iPhone X I still have my iPhone 4s,5s and 6s and they are all still working.
Hi Mark,
I bought my iPad mini in 2014, the iPad is now quite old. It did last quite a while (until 2022). On the other hand, my newer iPad should last longer.
Kind Regards,
Jimmy
Basically, the older iPad will not last as long. Alternatively, the newer iPad will as apple improved the product.
