Apple India Complaints & Reviews

I tried enrolling for the apple developer program, but was unable to get through it, and ultimately contact apple developer support and this guys keet trying multiple times and got my account restriced. Now i am stuck with Rs.9000 stuck in my appple ID and there is not way to even get the refund, This is such a big fraud. For all the fault committed by your team why will the customer suffer with account restricited and funds on hold.

I am writing to raise a consumer complaint against Apple India regarding my iPhone13, which suffered water damage despite its IP68 water and dust resistance rating. I am deeply dissatisfied with Apple's product durability, particularly considering the higher price point compared to other brands, and seek a resolution to this issue as per my consumer rights.

On May 25, my iPhone13 accidentally fell into water. However, I promptly retrieved it within 2 minutes and took necessary steps to dry it. Considering the device's IP68 rating, which is advertised as providing protection against water damage, I expected the phone to remain unaffected.

To my disappointment, the device became unresponsive after 3days of the incident. I immediately contacted Apple India's customer support to seek assistance. However, I was informed that the warranty does not cover liquid damage, and therefore, I would have to bear the repair costs.

This response has left me dissatisfied as I strongly believe that the water damage occurred despite following the IP68 guidelines and handling the situation appropriately. I seek clarification from Apple India regarding the efficacy of the IP68 rating and how the water managed to penetrate the device, leading to its malfunction.

Furthermore, I am disheartened by the stark contrast between the premium price Apple charges for its devices compared to other brands in the market. The higher cost implies superior quality, including robust water resistance. However, the handling of my complaint has not only left me with a damaged device but also raised concerns about the overall durability and reliability of Apple products.

Apple sells the iPhone 13 and shows in the add how “Water-resistant” their phone is, which can handle being underwater for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 6 meters.

My iPhone 13 was working completely fine until the iOS 16.5 beta 4 installation happened on my phone. And the phone started acting up. It’s stuck in the boot loop from May 12th, 2023.

When I went to Apple Authorized Service Provider - NGRT Systems, Civil Lines, Nagpur; to solve the issue. they asked me first if the phone was exposed to water in any way. I told them yes it did and they told me - “Sorry sir, it’s water damage and hence it can’t be resolved/replaced. You need to buy a new device”

However, my phone was dipped in the pool for not even 2 seconds in the month of Jan 2023. And they tell me that the phone has gradually taken the damage.

The phone is under warranty and they say that the water damage is not covered under warranty.
So why sell the product and fool the consumers by saying it's IP68?
Please take the necessary action on the same.

Once i signed in my apple id, I can't see the picture of DP.. whereas on my other phone its showing and works well... please resolve my isue as soon as possible...

please get some experienced team members in the service store as they don't know what is the real issue and if its software issue den also its a issue of software only on my iPhone, they can't say its normal issue if they can't resolve my problem on my iPhone, we pay in lakhs just for apple brand, if apple is careless about our small issue then there is no Satisfaction in paying in lakhs...
Once you come to know that its software issue, you have to resolve our problem and if apple service can't resolve my problem then its not worth apple service in the city...

I bought an iPhone 14 plus from iplanet Jayanagar on Valentine’s Day. I asked for a GST invoice and received the same. The GST invoice has not been uploaded on GST portal for me to claim ITC. I sent an email to iplanet store, sent a WhatsApp as stated in the invoice. The email comes back stating trying to deliver for 4 days, the store states write to customer care. WhatsApp has no response. How do you contact them? Does iplanet pay gst

Dear Sir,

I have make payment to purchase chips in application. But payment is deducted from my account since last 2 days and chips is not credited to my account and Apple is not refunding my hard earned money and Saying that money is not received by them. I have attached screenshots for the same. Please resolve my issue.

Hello,
I am not happy with the response and the claim maid by Apple service.
I have the "Restart issue" on the Iphone 14 from the 1st week of the purchase. As per the suggestion of the service center "Planetcare" I have visited the shop two times 1; for the software re-installation done by planetcare. Within two weeks the same problem "Auto Re-start" persisted
2; Again I visited the shop on 15th Feb 2023 and handed over the phone as per the advice of service agent, where I was promised that the phone will be sent to Apple, Bengaluru center and the hardware will be replaced as the problem of "Auto Re-start" persisted.

To my surprise, I have received the phone call and this email with a service quote of 40K. Please note that the phone is in Warranty period and I am extremely disappointed for such a treatment by Apple India. The claim by Apple that the device is found to have "Accidental damage" is unacceptable and the issue of "Auto Re-start" started within 15 days of purchase of a brand new device. For you information, when the devise was submitted to service center it was checked and confirmed that there is no external damage (Not even a scratch). It is impossible to have an internal damage in this case.

1. I deserve to know the exact problem with a device with a proper explanation of the so called "accidental damage". Please let me know the specific details.

2. I suspect that the distributer "AptronixIndia" sold me a defective device. I purchased the device from the Chennai ECR shop. The purchase experience was bad, the 1st phone I bought had a small scratch on the screen when opened at the shop. But the same was replaced by the shop. However, the replaced device is also faulty.

There are tons of information in the web about Iphone 14 restart issue and Apple seems to be replacing/fixing the problem globally. However, such a treatment in India by a brand like Apple is disappointing. I have been a long time user of Apple devices (starting from Ipod) and never had any problem with the devices.
I hope Apple would hear me out and address my concern

Regards,

Desirable resolution- replacement of device

I would like to draw your attention to the serious issues regarding disrespectful behavior, and lack of professionalism of Apple employees at Angel Teletech Pvt Ltd, Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan.

This incident happened on 5/1/2023 during my visit along with my wife to the Apple Store in Angel Teletech Pvt Ltd, Sri Ganganagar. Email – [protected]@gmail.com

The gist of the complaint is like this- I purchased a new I -phone 14 plus on 15/12/2022 along with screen protector (GRIP Item 0.3M IPH-14 Max (6.7)CL HSN code 70071900 for Rs 1990

This screen protector was pasted /applied on phone by the employee working in store (as per store employee, may be incorrect). After 7-8 days of pasting screen protector, bubble developed on the left side upper portion of screen making it odd look and vulnerable to damage.

On being shown new i-Phone 14 protective screen bubble popping issue to the Apple Company Store, they refused to comply with our demands, were rude, and ignored the issue and even not paying any request either to change it or approach main headquarter or office for the same.

As a former paramilitary officer, Ex-Commandant, para military, I have never witnessed such reactions that fall outside the standard of professionalism and employee code of conduct as the universal code of conduct describes the right behavior of employees towards customers in the workplace and similarly, it was expected from them to have guidance of main office, once they themselves have no solution.

I am the regular customer of your items and last year only in the month of Jan’22, I have purchased I-pad costing almost around 96, 000/- and earlier i-7 and have intended to purchase further other items but after looking into unprofessional behavior and solution, I am now regretting to have customer of your company.

Question is hardly of Rs 2000/- but the way such professional company have such unprofessional employee, who even does not know pasting of screen protector and how to behave definitely, brings a bad name to the company. Atleast, I have decided not to ever have any items from this store or from your company in future.

I am putting this matter under your perusal, and requested to either change that screen protector free of cost along with expectation of respectful behavior and in case if your high reputed company will not pay any heed to my request then consider this request as legal notice for approaching consumer court at Sri Ganganagar for causing mental and economically harassment.

That this letter intended to service as a formal legal Notice and in that regard I urge you to take our complaint seriously. Non adherence to our grievances will be dealt in consumer

I tried purchasing an iPad pro 128gb M2. I chose the payment method UPI. My money got deducted but the order was not placed. How long will it take for the money to reflect back on my ACC or when will my order be placed?
Why does this keep happening? I ordered the iPad in a hurry because I needed it urgently but because of this stupid situation I wasted my money and neither got the product that I needed. I saw a lot of people with the same problem. Why hasn't Apple ( such a big company) still not resolve this bug / glitch from their website? Our time, energy, and purpose to use the product gets wasted. Very bad experience with Apple store online, I'll make sure to inform everyone I know to not buy from Apple online store. I just hope my order gets placed or the money get refunded back and also hope Apple look into this matter of their payment issue as many people are facing it. It's the company's loss if they keep creating this problem with their website. We as consumers will review as what we experienced.

I bought a new MacBook Pro 14-inch in Aug-2022 from India. It's getting display glitches and distortions when I plug it in right after it shuts down due to less (~1%) power. This issue came with the laptop in the box. I asked about the issue on Apple support's chat and call feature they suggested I try using the device in safe mode, creating a new user, reinstalling the OS, and Run Apple Diagnostics. I tried all of them, but none of them worked.So I went to an Apple Authorised Service centre. First, they didn't accept that that was an issue, they said it was minor and came with every MacBook device, but they took the device and got it to reset; even after resetting the computer, it didn't fix. So we tested it with another same-model device, but there was no issue with the other device they brought from their Store for comparison. After that, they talked with the apple team and said the issue would be fixed by a hard resetting of the Mac, but that also didn't work issue is still reproducible after. After that, they said it was a hardware issue and that they would talk to the apple team again; after some days, they said it would be fixed in the next software update, so I waited until the next macOS update (Venture 13.1) Dec 13 release, that even also didn't fix the issue after updating it to latest version.I first went to the service centre on Dec 6; it's about more than 15 days; they still don't even know what's the issue with the device, and when I call, they say they are talking with the Apple team. I get exhausted by the pathetic service of Apple India's service centres. They don't even try to debug the issue systematically. LACK OF KNOWLEDGE & HIGHLY UN-TECHNICAL STAFF!

In the month of April 2022 we got our mac repaired Repair id:R[protected]. On may 14 I found the MAC was heating up, battery was draining faster and I could also not migrate from my M1 to intel.the call centre made me reinstall the iOS and lots of other settings. Despite that, the problem was not solved. I had many follow up calls on may 16, 17, 20, 21 and so on. Honestly it was a big waste of time as there were no results. Finally in the month of august the MAC stopped working. I visited the ResQ, Reliance retail limited, Vashi, India. They diagnosed the issue with reference no VS3EIUG0UTRF. To our surprise they have identified the issue in the same parts which were replaced a few months back. My mac is lying with ResQ at reliance, Vashi, Navi Mumbai, for almost 6 weeks now and they are waiting to hear from apple. The parts which were replaced have manufacturing defect or they would not fail so fast. My child Devam is in class 10 and is badly stuck without Mac-book and has exams starting in last week of November. This is the only machine he has. Thanking you in advance.
