  Had a very disappointing experience. I placed an iPhone 17 pickup order in-store and was told it would be ready in 30 minutes. I ended up waiting over 3 hours with no updates. Staff repeatedly overlooked me, and it was extremely difficult to get any assistance. Eventually, I was told my order had been canceled without any notification or explanation. I was then asked to contact Apple Support myself, which led to another 2+ hours on the phone. Overall, I wasted 5+ hours with no fair resolution, poor communication, and lack of accountability. I also felt uncomfortable being discriminated against.

  Extremely rude and unhelpful staff. Multiple staff helped me and everyone was telling me different things with no clear answer. Worst Apple Store experience ever.

  Patrick and Amelia helped me through a nightmare situation with my phone repair. They went above and beyond to help find solutions, and were extremely kind and patient.

  This was one of the most infuriating retail experiences I have ever had. I went to Apple SoHo to buy an iPhone 17 listed at $799, but before the phone was even brought out, I was shown a total of over $900. Since $799 plus NYC sales tax should have been much lower, I asked for an explanation. If the difference was due to carrier-related charges, the employee checking me out should have explained that clearly instead of responding with a dismissive and unprofessional attitude. Instead, I got no meaningful breakdown, no clear answer, and was treated as if asking a basic pricing question was somehow the problem. I walked out without buying because I was not willing to hand over that amount of money without a transparent explanation. What happened next made the situation even worse. I escalated the issue to Apple’s Executive Relations expecting at least a clear written response, but the entire process felt like a wall of scripted, robotic deflection. Instead of addressing the issue directly by email, they kept pushing me to call. Then when I called during the hours provided, I was sent to voicemail and could not reach anyone directly. So I was denied a written explanation, pushed into phone tag, and then left with no real way to reach an actual person. At that point, it no longer felt like customer service. It felt like deliberate avoidance and a complete lack of accountability. For a company that constantly markets itself as premium, this was an embarrassingly poor experience from start to finish: unclear pricing, dismissive in-store treatment, and follow-up that was robotic, inaccessible, and effectively useless. Apple SoHo and the corporate team behind this complaint handled the situation in a way that felt disrespectful, opaque, and far below the standard Apple claims to represent.

  Spent 5 hours at this Apple Store trying to get some help with my iPhone that randomly stopped working due to an issue with Apple’s hardware (this is what they told me after the first 2 hours, code 4013). I was bounced across 7 different Apple employees. Spent an hour on the phone with some guy named Seven who had a worse attitude than Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada. Then the manager that was helping me left without telling me and resolved the case while I’m still there waiting on hold with Apple Customer Support team, which they asked me to do 🤣 This was the most hilariously bad experience I’ve ever had with Apple. What has happened to this company 🤯
