Making it VERY difficult to make Genius Bar appointments – Apple Support Review

With Apple’s ridiculously overpriced products, customers have justifiably come to expect top tier customer service. It used to be somewhat easy to book a Genius Bar appointment, but for the past few years Apple has continued to change and make it more difficult to book an appointment. Having spoken to Apple employees off of the record, it’s clear that Apple is consciously making this effort. If a customer needs assistance with their device and wants hands on help rather than calling or reading instructions, the customer often times has to click on a false issue just to make an appointment. I’ve moved many family, friends, and colleagues over to Apple over the years because of the once outstanding service, especially those who are elderly or not tech savvy. I no longer encourage anyone to move to the Apple eco system without WARNING them about Apple’s avoidance or difficulty in getting help unless they are very savvy. Shame on you Apple for continuing to increase the price of products and services but cutting back on face to face customer service. No matter how great tech may be, it will never replace human interface.
