I went to pick up 2 phones at this store. I approached one of the people on the floor and said that I was there to pick up 2 phones. He looked at me and not sure if it was because of what I was wearing or the color of my skin, but he proceeded to ask me, “ARE YOU AN UBER OR SOMETHING ?” I looked at him and with a serious face responded, “no, they are my own.”You could tell he was thrown off by my response and quickly went on to ask for my name and what I was picking up (which is the usual procedure EVERY SINGLE TIME I’ve picked up a purchase at an apple store).The person in the middle of the store kept staring at me as I was waiting for the phones and he approached another team member and said something and this one quickly came to check on me and said if I needed anything. What a shame!!

They do not have good Genius Bar anymore. Always in rush, no real care about customers, no real or deep knowledge. Looks like just a formality.10 - 15 minutes per customer. On a scale 1 to 10 it is definitely 1 compare with used to be service.

If I could Id give zero stars. Went there looking to buy a new computer and the person who was supposed to help me, wasnt helpful at all!! Could not answer any of my questions, was rude, and told me to buy online just because. Instead, went to the one at the Sono mall and in 20min got out there with a brand new laptop.

Major decline in service and made to feel like a high-security area. I genuinely felt uncomfortable walking into the Apple store this month and last month. Usually it’s crowded yeah, and not all that welcoming on its face, but the staff are nice and helpful. Usually.The last two visits, it’s felt like I’m under watch in case I’m going to cough on everyone or steal the store. Or at the very least like some folks mistreat food delivery people. Nevermind I, like most folks who come to the Greenwich Apple store have dropped several K with Apple. This is literally the only store in a very wealthy town that has this obscene level of security.It makes people feel uncomfortable, and I’m certainly not inclined to go there if I don’t have to. Please rethink how the Apple store presents itself to Greenwich. I can’t imagine it’s not oppressive for the staff as well.

Worst service ever I have faced in an apple store. They made me wait 40 min to just to buy an iPhone. Every time I asked it was 10 more minutes...in the end their solution was I should buy it online! Why the heck do you have a store open?

Horrible service. I have an 11 pro experiencing battery issues- I brought it in and the tech at the Genius Bar told me there is nothing she can do I have to wait for the next iPhone update and see if that fixes the problem. In my settings under battery it says “service” so I asked for a new battery and she said that wouldn’t help. Then I asked for a new phone since I am still under warranty she said no. So I left with no resolution to my problem. When I got home I called Apple and spoke with a senior advisor who told me she had never heard of this having to wait for an update and said that since the phone said needs service she needed to service it. She issued me a new phone on the spot. Would not recommend this location the tech sent me away and did not want to help me.

Wasnt a bad experience but just downright odd!! Felt like I was entering the FBI headquarters. Greeted outside by 2 security guards who quizzed me on whether I had an appointment then temperature check then greeted by 2 employees at the door who scanned my barcode for my purchase and asked for ID. Once through that checkpoint I was taken to the back to stand on a taped line on the floor. Then next employee asked for the same info the first one just asked for then once I cleared that test another employee came out of the back with my adapter gave it to the employee that looked up my purchase which I told her what it was already. She double, triple checked then I was allowed to have it and was walked out of the store by another employee out another doorIm exhausted !!! By the way the store was basically empty with Employees just standing around. Its definitely overkill on the policies !! Felt like I was doing something wrong. These are strange times that we live in but even stranger at Apple!!

Expensive. But then I stop to think how many hours a day I use my Iphone, I learn that the price is more than fair. I mean they might give better price, and earn less, but for me and my phone which is both my fun and work tool, it worth every cent.

It was my first time here to pick up an iPad Air. The place was clean and followed Covid-19 rules by maintaining social distancing and taking my temperature at the door.However, once in, the little service I got was rude and abrupt. I felt like I was being helped by the local high school bully/jock who didnt want to work. Or maybe he just didnt want to help the woman on a rainy day wearing jeans and a hoodie. Sorry kid, maybe you missed my Rolex, but I can afford to shop here. It will be the last time I shop at Greenwich Apple. Im done with white privilege.

The lady in the front from protective services was rude! The manager Mike wouldn’t let me exchange an iPhone (still boxed) for another iPhone. They only let me return the item. They said I have to buy the iPhone online and pick it up in store. It doesn’t make any sense. Worse apple store I’ve been to! Don’t come here you’ll be disappointed like I was.

Review №23

Greenwich Avenue is a substandard Apple store, known for its inadequacy at fixing computers and a rush to replace and upsell. Stamford was the honest store. It has now moved to Norwalk. A few years ago, Greenwich said I required a $2,500-$3,000 laptop replacement. I took it for a second opinion to the Stamford store, where they say it only needed a simple fix-- covered by warranty--no -charge. I returned recently with a different laptop only because of the pandemic. Simple fix, but they broke the laptop. Now theyre denying they did.

After dealing with Apple for 50 days after upgrading to an iPhone 11 Max Pro and was promised a $150 credit for my iPhone 7+ I went to the Grenwich store and actually turned in the phone and received $130 in cash because the original Apple store that lied to me also failed to document the credit for the upgrade. Again ppl were reasonable and LISTENED YO THE CUSTOMER.

Review №28

I dont know if it was the pandemic, but, somehow the staff isnt as lively as Apple staff usually are. I understand to stay 6 ft apart because they need to stay negative to continue working. I checked in at the front door with a gentleman. That was quick & I waited patiently until they can free up space at the genius bar. Once seated, I waited patiently for someone to help me with my laptop that I made an appointment for. It seemed they forgot about me even though I wasnt in a rush to wait my turn. One man (being VERY careful) approached while he was working with someone farther down the table. He wanted to know what the issue was. I told him my computer is flickering. (I wanted to do a diagnostic test and get my laptops feet replaced) I felt a little put off because I didnt really want to work with him. Looking for someone younger and fresh to understand my concerns. He did the diagnostic after I asked. He suggested multiple options (that included not spending a dime at apple) to fix my issues. So I didnt. I met with their sales rep Danny to trade in an ipad, (note: trade-in online at apple.com - better trade in value than in-store) He was very helpful even though he didnt have the item I wanted in stock. I really wanted to purchase it there. So I didnt spend any money today, but got some answers though.... I guess. Overall, somewhat a wasted trip to the apple store.

Review №33

Their primary job seems to be pumping out product and their tech support is fragmented and inadequate. The person assigned to your problem disappears into the back room leaving you hanging then sends someone else who now is dividing their time between two other customers. The manager is bald blue eyed cold fish who utters stock phrases about understanding your frustration. Ultimately my new iPhone just purchased a day ago problem was turfed to Apple care support who they promised would be researched fully and they would call me. It wasn’tI would avoid the Greenwich store unless your expectations are very low

I walked in and had what I believed to be simple questions about functionality and settings. I started to explain to the reception person that logs your name and even though there werequite a few people waiting at the Genius Bar, an associate that heard my issue decided it was easy enough to help me without an appointment! He did a great job of solving everything in less than ten minutes!

11/12/2017I walked into the store to have my disabled iPhone wiped, at first reception told me I had a 3 hour wait and so I sat down, few minutes later I went back to reception ( at this point agent was changed )I had an old phone and wanted to let me know that, upon hearing what the issue was he got someone to help me in five minutes, ( Shaun / Sean ), I am sorry I did not catch the names of the others who assisted me, but I do know the faces should I need the help in the future, in all I was in and out of there in one hour total. I could not thank them enough . And I even found a easy parking thanks to my mom who came along for the ride.Keep up the excellent work guys....

Service is slow as molasses. We literally went in for a laptop battery replacement with 10 simple screws and a 30 min procedure at best. It took them two hours to do! Plus they didnt want to do it initially - told us some BS about school starting and having to sent it out for one week. We got there early and left late. Next time I have to do it myself!!

With a great lack of business acumen, Manager Michael F provides ABOMINABLE Customer Service at the Greenwhich store. He wielded his managerial power to do harm rather than good towards a devoted Apple customer who was there to repair a device and purchase a new one. Over $150, he showed me “who’s boss”. Bravo Manager Mike...just hope you never get fired from this job because passive aggressiveness is not a desirable skill set in the job market.

Review №54

Bright and open layout. Staff was very pleasant and accommodating, but I had to find and approach associates to ask for help on my own. I felt pretty invisible before stopping someone to make my presence known while waiting for an interview. Apparently the person I checked in with also didnt communicate very clearly that I was waiting, since they evidently thought I hadnt shown up despite speaking to 2 people and waiting there for over an hour... The service I observed with customers in that time was friendly and helpful, but seemed very slow. I was definitely not the only one sitting and waiting for someone to assist with whatever they were there for. However, the ambiance is very nice and everyone was very pleasant, even if I felt invisible much of the time in between.

I went in to get my broken macbook looked at and he looked up my computer said it says its serviceable but thats weird because generally models as old as yours are too old to be serviceable. And i said oh yeah wow i actually had this serviced before too. And he sharply replied yeah but this model is considered too old and then proceeded to tell me to i could get a thousand-something dollar repair but he suggested buying a new computer and then said how about i get a sales rep for you, then left, and while Im not stunned or horrified I do think you could say that it was pretty underwhelming, and I would probably recommend going to different branch for this kind of thing.

My phone was not coming on and was told by a young girl at the genius bar that it was broken and I need to pay $ 120 to get it fixed. To get a second opinion before I paid anything I took the phone to an AT&T store and the guy held the home button and power button for 5 secs and the phone came on. Good job AT&T.

This is where you go to be “offered” a replacement phone for an unknown defect for $400. When you challenge this - stating this issue is new and unique (the nfc chip failed.) The store manager quizzed me on “why didn’t you get AppleCare..... when you buy a car, you get a new car insurance don’t you? You should have done the same thing here.” A lot more to this story but tdlr, whatever you believed Apple was, it isn’t.

It’s great if you have time to go on a weekday afternoon but if your free time is only weekends, it’s a mad house. After being told it was a 2 hour wait just to shop for a laptop last Sunday, I showed up right when they opened the following Saturday. Bought a MacBook, easy. But upon starting it up at home it froze and customer support recommended I take it straight back and exchange it. So now I’m back at Apple Greenwich on a Saturday afternoon and I’m told I need to wait an hour and a half to return a defective computer they sold me this morning. Either double the staff here or allow online appointment scheduling to shop. This is absurd.

Review №81

Apple messes with older model batteries on iPhones 6s plus and then this store turns you away. They had no customers in there and said without appointment they cant help you. What’s the point in having a local store. They close in a half hour with no customers and turn you away. If i can sue i would. For people that are busy and work with their phones, we cant wait 3 days for a damn appointment.

They are thorough and thoughtful, patient and understanding. Im helpful for all their help today!

Terrible operation. We just wanted to buy a watch we have decided already. We were kept waited 30minutes, and still could not buy. They had only two employees who need to take customers in order whether it’s just consultation or question, or purchase. As a result, you can’t pay and buy unless all the people in front of you who came without any decision spends long time chatting with only two employee. There were extra employee chatting each other at Geniius bar.

9/24/2017 edit to prior review: lowering rating from 4 to 2 stars due to worsened staff quality (especially Genius Bar) and still worsening parking challenges on lower Greenwich Ave.This location (and perhaps Apple more broadly) seem to be intentionally lowering level of support quality/store experience as they keep growing._________________The parking is impossible on Greenwich Ave and the accessories assortment is smaller than the city locations. But it sure is convenient having a local outpost. Core products and Genius Bar obviously identical to every other Apple Store.
