Apple India Complaints & Reviews

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.

Hi,

I've been having trouble listening to the audio on my current Apple device (an I phone 12), and I can only do it if the call is in speaker mode. I bought the gadget on January, 2021.
I use Apple devices and have done so since 2015, starting with the I Phone 6, XS, and 12, Air Pods Pro, and Gen 3 Apple Watch series.
After displaying a great deal of brand loyalty and costing a premium to buy a pricey phone, it started having hardware problems after 1.5 years o[censored]se.
Despite being a brand advocate of Apple products, this makes me feel quite disappointed with the service and quite surprised with the hardware issues in just 1.5 years.
Please give this situation your full attention and give me a prompt solution.

FULL DESCRIPTION OF INCIDENT

I have a New MacBook Pro 14” (Under Limited Warranty) which has developed an internal crack on the display without any damage on external display glass or aluminium case. Apple authorised service centre called it as a physical damage without providing any evidence or justification.

There should be a clear policy set up to make demarcation between physical damages and product defects. I genuinely consider this as a product defect rather than a case of accidental damage, as the device was never mishandled in any sort and I am also concerned on my future purchases from Apple, as there is no clear Policy on Physical/Accidental damages vs Product defects.

I raised the below case details with Apple support and had it further escalated and received no support from as well.

It is not my intention to take any legal action and exercise my right here, but I would be forced to take legal action if Apple do not support me in this case as this is a genuine case of a product defect and I need it to be resolved amicably and is a matter of justice.

DETAILS OF THE CASE FOR REFERENCE

MY CONCERN:

My new MacBook Pro display started developing an internal crack though there is no crack on the external glass or dents on the laptop. The device did not have an accidental fall or neither it was mishandled.

After taking it to Apple Authorised Service centre here in India, Bangalore, they have classified it as a Physical damage thereby calling it as accidental damage that cannot be covered under warranty. There is no justification provided as to how one person can break an internal display, without cracking the external glass or causing damage the aluminium casing behind the display or any signs that the Mac underwent a fall showing signs of dents or mark to any part of the device or neither opening the device in any ways

I confirm that this is purely a product defect OR the least Apple should have a clear policy on how internal display cracks can be classified as a Physical damage without calling all cracked displays as a fault of customer. (There is clear evidence for watermarks, Case being opened, but not for display cracks)

MY EXPECTATION FROM APPLE

1. Study if this is genuinely a product defect: I want Apple to research and review to see if there is indeed a Product defect in the manufacturing that is leading MacBook Pro displays to start developing internal cracks, and the causes behind it

2. Provide me a valid justification for calling this defect as a physical damage caused by consumer: There is no justification I can think of and I genuinely want Apple to justify or provide me the policy that they followed here on how an internal display can be cracked without breaking the external glass as I believe glass does not bend and hence you cannot press the front display to break it or neither by showing any bend on the external display or to any other part of the device showing signs of a fall or brute force applied. So how can a consumer break an internal glass.

3. Provide replacement for my damaged display, in case Apple finds no justification after proper review that this is caused by consumer.
Acknowledge that there is a product defect in the new MacBook Pro M1 Pro Line up, in case there is one.

Hi,

I need to report my unpleasant experience at an Apple Store (Tresor, Outer Circle, Connaught Place, New Delhi).

I went there to buy a Type-C adapter for my iPhone. I faced some rude and unprofessional behaviour from the staff there. Below are the key pointers from my encounter.

1. When I asked about the adapter at the reception counter, the person (Ms. Sanya) first charged me the whole amount and then showed me the product. Although I found it strange, I went along as I thought Apple store guys are supposed to be thorough professionals.
2. I got the adapter, went to the counter and asked for an invoice.
3. Ms. Sanya first asked me to wait for 5 minutes to get an invoice.
4. After some time, she came back and told me that I can’t get an invoice. The reason she quoted was not what I hoped to hear at an Apple store.
5. She unapologetically denied giving me an invoice just because the accountant had gone for lunch. A very pathetic reason I have ever heard.
6. During this whole conversation her tone was rude.
7. When I insisted on getting an invoice, instead of arranging for one, the manager (Mr. Pramod) very rudely gave me back money in cash.
8. This shows disregard to the value of a customer’s time, right to ask for invoice, and denial of general courtesy that is due to a customer coming to your store or an authorised one.

I would request that this message reaches the right management personnel who can ensure that I or any other customer doesn’t face such bitter behaviour next time we visit you.

Kind regards,
Vivek Singh

Apple complaint

During the month of August, i was facing an issue with airpods 3rd gen that the right bud was not getting charged while it is places in charging case and even the same remains connected to bluetooth device i.e. iphone, even when its placed in case.

I approached service centre on 24th of august to get the same issue addressed, the service centre sent the product to apple repair Banglore where they returned the product as it is stating that we couldn’t find any issue and i was out of town my friend collected the same from service centre with right bud battery dead inside the case which was more than 50% charged.
On 24th september, i again deposited the airpods with service centre to get them repaired, hoping they have missed the repair earlier, keeping in loop customer care and service centre. They assured me that this time same won’t happend, if same happens then u can take a legal action against them but again same thing happened and product was returned as it is on 10th of October. Again case was charger 80% and right bud having 0% battery even inside the case, which i reported to service centre.
Since its an apple product, it is believed to be product of quality and an issue might occur with a product and getting them repaired or replaced is acceptable but getting frustrated by again and again visiting service centre to get my product repaired not once but twice even then not getting the solution is unacceptable.
It cost a customer following-
- It is mentally exhausting to visit service centres again and again while taking a day off from your job and still not getting solution.
- product i.e. the charging case gets so much scratched as service centre handles product without protective case and in such a ruthless way that it has attracted scratches all over its body.

Now as i am going for consumer complaint - I want to get my product replaced with a week.

I've been a frequent customer of Apple for the past 10 years. My perception of Apple has been set due to the longevity & quality of its products. But that is not my experience in the recent times.

On January 1st of 2021 I purchased an iPhone 11. Only after 6 months, the battery life started to deteriorate too fast without any particular reasons. After waiting for some more moths I approached Apple Service Center & submitted the product for almost a day for a detailed diagnosis. The battery health was around 92% then; and the service representative ignored the problem stating that according to apple diagnosis the health is fine & the product is running at its best. I waited again to see if some software updates might fix the issue, but unfortunately the battery life is getting worse to a state that the product is rendered useless.

I also have access to some other mobile phones & its battery experiences. It is unacceptable to see that a product that I paid INR 54, 900 who's battery life is similar to none and speakers not woking properly while a phone half the price from a company like Vivo lasts more than that of this phone which is older than 2 years.

When checking the battery health, it stays still at 83% but doesn't even last 2 hours properly. I can't imagine that health going below 50%.

My faith in Apple for your service will depend on the action on this experience as I would like to push for a Replacement of the faulty product that is not worth its price

The product got defective in 37 days and the display is not working.

It costs me 1.84 lakhs and it got defective in just 37 days. They either gave me a defective product or the build quality of the product is not all good. If it ATLEAST six months old, it is okay to get some small respires. But it just 37 days, it got a defective display. That means the product is not all relatable or they have given a me a defective p[roduct.

THEY TOLD ME THEY WILL GET IT SERVICED AND THE ESTIMATED TIME IS 30 DAYS. I DO NOT WANT THE COMPUTER TO BE OPENED AND REPAIRED. ONCE IT IS OPEN FOR REPAIR, I ASSURE YOU THAT THE PRODUCT WILL GET THE SAME ISSUE OR ANOTHER ISSUE MORE OFTEN. THAT IS HOW ALL THESE PRODUCTS WORK. AND THEY ARE DELAYING IT FOR 30 DAYS AND THEY WILL NOT EXTEND MY WARRANTY 30 DAYS.

I AM WORKING ON THIS COMPUTER AND I AM WITHOUT MY WORK TOOL FOR NEXT 30 DAYS. THAT IS A LOSS FOR ME TOO.

I NEED A NEW COMPUTER INSTEAD OF THIS DEFECTIVE ONE. SINCE IT IS ONLY 37 DAYS, AND I JUST PAID THE FIRST EMAI YESTERDAY.

I REQUEST YOU TO GET ME A NEW COMPUTER INSTEAD OF THIS FAULTY COMPUTER.
