Apple Customer Service Problems and How to Contact Apple Customer Service to Fix

Apple Customer Service Problems and User Reviews

Although iDevice users may encounter many kinds of customer service problems during using iPhone iPad, normally, these problems can be classified to 4 categories: warranty problem, reparation and maintenance problem, rigid policy problem and service staff problem.

For example, here we extract some Apple customer service reviews from Customer Affairs as blow:

They took my iPhone and came after 30 min and told me that it's a Water Damage case and they asked me 24,000 Rupees for a replacement of the phone. I Informed that water damage can't be possible at all as the iPhone was the in the box after my daughter placed it after doing some work. I also told them that I am a very loyal customer who always uses Apple products, but they were not ready to help me at all, and I was insisting on paying amount of 24,000 Rupees for the replacement.

When I contacted the Apple customer service they demanded to produce the buying receipt for resolving activation issue. But I do not have the buying receipt as this phone is gifted by my daughter who is in the US. They said they perfectly understood the problem, but the company's policies have made them helpless. I told the customer service people that they had all the records in their server regarding me owning this phone so why do you need a buying receipt.

I just received an email telling me I won't be refunded because my phone was subjected to accidental damage or misuse. I only used it for maybe 1 hour in total and did nothing to damage it. My service provider checked it and told me there wasn't any water damage and weren't sure why it stopped working/charging. Also in the email I was told that I am eligible for out of warranty service so they charged me another $329 for this service fee. So now I have paid $1176 in total for two phones but only own one.
