Long wait times. I'd recommend making an appt . But they're very helpful & knowledgeable.

We came here to get a MacBook Neo and a Mac mini. We were greeted and when we told him what items we were in the market for he immediately told us that there were no Mac Mini's available and that was it. We had checked on our phones with the APPLE APP that stated that it was available for purchase and pick up at this location. The Guy proceeded to tell us that it was not available and ended with that. We said okay that's fine, and then asked if there were any MacBook Neo available and he stated yes and to go over to the "order pick up table". My fiancé and I arrived to the table and saw a team member kind of slouched over the table and when we approached her she stated are you here to pick up an order? We said no and then she said well who sent you over here? I said the guy that greeted us in the front. Already- I am annoyed, cause 1. WHY are you annoyed? 2. The whole time we were talking, she was slouched over ( in a lazy way), she was not making any eye contact with us at all! I was the one that was purchasing the MacBook Neo, but she would ask questions or talked to my fiancé instead, like she did not even acknowledge that I was there. He also stated to her that I was the one that is buying it and to redirect her questions to me. 2 more people arrived at the table for pick up but she seemed annoyed. Her mannerisms and attitude was very below average. She spoke very low and I had to lean into her to and ask her to repeat herself which just made her more annoyed. The other gentleman that had arrived maybe 20 minutes after us later then asked if she can get another person to the table to assist them and that is when she went over and grabbed " Jake" to come and assist. Jake was pleasant and kind and was able to answer all of our questions and gave us reassurance and was able to assist us with placing an order for a Mac mini. If it wasn't for Jake, I would have said F this and drove to another location that is out of my way. The team member that was at that table I later found out by her name tag was " Ivy". There was no introduction no nothing just " Who sent you here". Like TF? She was also wearing a mask which okay cool but with her speaking low it made it difficult to hear and understand her while slouched over the table the whole damn time! very not approachable! Honestly, we came here to purchase some items from Apple, and yet members of this team made it so difficult to communicate and buy, like it was a burden that we are in there spending hundreds of dollars. I am so surprised that this location is nice, so you expect that the customer service was also going to be nice as well but ended up being trashy attitudes when it comes to purchasing an item. Out of the 3 people from that location, 1 was nice, attentive and actually showed that he cared about the items we were buying. So Jake, thank you so much for that day, but after that I think I rather go to another Apple Store-for sure if you come here you will leave frustrated. -2/10 read more

terrible and arrogant service, one must first agree to center the male manager's feelings while he tells you what you find out to be (after you go home and figure out things for your self) to be out right lies. go anywhere else if you can, they are only there to feed their own small egos and feel like working at an apple store is a big achievement they do not know how to help people, they do not know how to deal with people who may be confused about how apple products work, they do not know how to de-escelate, they only care about their own egos they only care about the sale once that has happened they no longer care to help they are not there to help they cannot answer questions if you have a question they cannot answer they feel small and start to yell at you do not go there if you think the might be able to answer a complicated question they cannot they can only sell you things they are not genious problem solvers they are small ego having sales MEN who cannot help you with anything and cannot answer questions and are of no help with anything what so ever cannot answer questions cannot help and when they realize you area asking questions above their IQ they panic and turn into badly behaved MEN who then chose to belittle you only go if you are a BRO looking to spend money if you are a woman with a question do not bother read more

Pick up for item ordered online went as expected. Good signage for where to go to pick up my order. However, I was surprised there was no greeting or someone trying to help given the immense amount of people in red shirts that work there who were just milling around. Even the pickup person didn't seem excited to be there and was very blah with his questions of what was needed from me to pick up my item. read more

Apple Pioneer Place - Mobile Phones Near Me - Portland, Oregon

You should rethink the idea of buying any apple products. If you do, you better not lose or get your device stolen. Apple Support is the absolutely worst help I ever got in my entire life (over 50 years). Their technical support system totally supports the thieves who steal these devices, not the victim. "We can't help you recover your account, but we can reset your device and give you a fresh start" That would be great if I was the one who stole the device. I lost over 500 songs that I collected over the last 25 years. And the best they could do for all that money I gave them........."Sorry, there is nothing I can do". I should use them as an example and provide the same worthless, pointless, and waste your time kind of customer service. read more

Took so long for SOMEONE to get us help. We were there for iPhone repair and it took almost an hr for someone to help us even thought we had apple care and they didn't even give us any help. We then wanted to buy a MacBook and it took an hour for someone to get to us after we complained. DO NOT go. Go to Washington square! This place even lied to us about not having a product anywhere in the other places too and we went to Washington square and they got everything done nicely for us. read more

Great service from Rob A. today at the Pioneer Place store. He was attentive, personable, and interesting. And he knew his stuff re: Apple products. read more

We went in and would like to buy a new Apple Watch. Obviously there were too many staff just hanging out to mind our small business. We've been waiting for almost 20 minutes and still no one showed up to help. Decided to walk out without purchase cause the ridiculous customer service. Definitely too many employees pretending working hard but just chatting with each other at this branch! read more

From the door to my exit, every single person was kind, smart and helpful. I bought a new watch and they helped me set it up in less than 15 minutes in and out! I recently bought a new computer from them and it was the same excellent service. This store has been amazing for me and I will only go there to purchase any Apple products I need. read more

The worst customer service staff at this Apple Store who lack common sense or manners. I would not recommend coming to this store as they treat you like trash. They are the only store in Portland downtown - convenient location but terrible service. Sad you have to put up with such behaviors by staff. read more

I like Apple Stores because I like Apple and it is easy to get products and everything is organized and working.

I was first in line there at 7:15 AM and the weather was beautiful it was cold but it was bearable fresh beautiful Portland air and I couldn't wait to get into their app and try the new MacBook Pro. It was awesome. It was epic! read more

See all

Order: appointment Iphone 15 pro max back glass fix & order pick up Pros: everyone was super nice and very helpful. I had the pleasure of working with June who was very attentive and even answered some side quest questions about my phone while they were checking me in. Cons: the wait to receive my phone for a back glass fix was roughly 2 hours even with an appointment. The mall usually fixes the phone quicker than that. That was my only gripe about the situation. read more

Brand new phone & instead of giving me a new phone to replace, I wait 5 hours for some internal part replacement. Told I must go back to AT & T to get my phone reactivated (made no sense). AT & T said that should be on my sim card which they never mentioned having to replace and they think they gave me a new phone and my old phone still had all my info on it. I have lost trust in Apple. May be time to go to a different phone. None of this makes sense and my phone is still not working. read more

So many more employees than customers, we were initially surprised by the number of people in the store, soon realizing the majority were wearing the navy blue t-shirts. Staff were friendly, and gave great suggestions for things to do and see in the Portland area, as well as assisting us with our purchases. They were helpful, showed genuine interest in our visit and plans for our time in the area, and had great rapport. We also had the opportunity to sign up for and participate in the 20-30 minute Apple Vision Pro demo, which was cool, fun and the staff offering our "tours" so friendly. They answered all of our questions! read more

Good luck getting a hold of someone at the store. They kept me on hold for about 20 minutes then when I spoke with the rep, they were rude and wouldn't even give me their name. I asked to be speaking to a store manager regarding a $3000 Computer order they told me none were available for 48 hours. I asked if I could be put on hold and they disconnected. This was the second phone call I made to the same store first person I spoke with was named Dan second person was named Staff both equally rude. Can't believe this store charges thousands of dollars for products and can't hire one decent person who treats the customer with a level of respect and decency. read more

I have an iPhone 16 ProMax that has problems syncing messages and the microphone is sometimes choppy. After talking with Apple Support 4 or 5 times, a senior tech said the phone needs to be replaced. The nearest store in downtown Portland is about 40 minutes away. I called the store to verify they had a replacement but was told that they can't tell me that. I asked to speak with the Manager who not only said they can't hold a phone for a day, but if I come and they don't have one I'll have to keep coming back until they do, 80 minutes plus store time plus parking fees each time. I'm looking into the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. Tim read more

Came in mid day during a busy Saturday for a walk in genius appointment. Had the pleasure of being helped out by Tyler. He was efficient and friendly. In and out in less than 40 minutes. read more

I made a Genius Bar appointment ahead of time for help with some hardware. Charley was so patient, friendly, and thorough with troubleshooting the issues my product was having. I've had mixed experiences at other Apple stores and was dreading going in here for that reason but I had a great experience with Charley. I will say the check in was a little clunky at the door, it wasn't apparent how to check in and I had to just kinda wander for a minute then flag someone down, and there were a few rounds of repeating the same information that seemed a little unnecessary so I'm docking a star, but all in all Charley made this a great experience, such an awesome employee. The store is gorgeous as well, it was nice to look outside and see the sunshine while waiting for tests to finish on my hardware. Plenty of seating too. read more

Why Apple has to make customer stand by the stand when you come in to buy a phone and ask you to wait 20 to 30 minutes. Do they really think their moat is so high that they do not see the need to provide a more comfortable shopping experience. Can't they take your phone and come up with a system to show when your turn is up ? Come on Apple. Don't be so arrogant read more

I had a problem transiting between my old iphone & my new one. Went to Verizon which has been my carrier for years & where I bought the new phone. They charged me $25 for handling the transfer but weren't able to accomplish it. Big mistake--buy your Apple products through Apple!! I used to & have learned my lesson in the future. It took Jessie, the Genius tech specialist who helped me less than 15 minutes to sort it all out! He then told me of a potential problem because Apple had just released a new operating system for iphone. So he actually started that first, set me up at one of the bench spots & went on to service other clients whilst periodically checking on me . It took some time but heh I am retired. I just read & awhile later I left with my phone on the new operating system & with my backup downloaded & restored. BEST customer service experience I have had in ages. Jesse deserves a shout-up for being that rare combination of technically proficient & warm people skills. Apple deserves a shout-out for the Pioneer Place store, its policies & its obviously well-selected staff. Apple read more

Had an appt booked online for 1000. Store opened, I walked to the pick up table and was greeted by staff. They scanned my QR, checked my ID and grabbed my order. Probably in the store less than what it takes for this review! Store was clean. Street parking was good. Will return. read more

Where are you going to go when your Mac acts up? The techs are knowledgeable and take time to sus our your problem and offer a solution.

My wife and I have shopped this store a bunch and it has always been a good experience. The staff is incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable. I LOVE that I can schedule an apt ahead of time and have never had to wait when doing so. There is also ample parking in several garage within one or two blocks. read more

I have never had a worse customer experience, in any retail interaction, across every single shopping segment, in my entire life. Walking in the door, the individual that stepped up did not understand what I wanted, continued to force a solution down a path I did not want, a path that was irrelevant to the problem I was trying to solve, for over 10 minutes. When I asked to speak to another person, they directly refused that and worsened the situation with extremely unprofessional comments. Fortunately another associate stepped up and solved the problem is less than 2 minutes. I asked people at another Apple Store, and this is not how customer service is intended to happen. If you do not understand the customer's objective, you need to ask questions until you do. read more

I've never had any problems here, was always promptly attended, and have always had my issues resolved.

Dropped in this morning to have the battery replaced in my iPhone. Lots of Apple people on the floor of the salesroom and a wizard demonstrating Apple Intelligence. However, the store is woefully understaffed with technical personnel in the back room that make Apple products work. Could not get an appointment to have a battery installed until late in the afternoon. They weren't sure that they even had a battery for the phone. Had to ask the young woman who was apparently helping me if she could check to see if the other stores in the area had appointments. Something someone with rudimentary customer service skills should have volunteered. She checked and found a walk-in appointment in the Tigard store. I reminded her that I can't use a map to find a store on a phone with a dead battery. She went to an iphone on the and showed me the map. I had to recommend that she go old school and print out the directions for me. She went to back of the store and was gone approximately 8 minutes. Had to ask another associate if she was coming back. The associate said she was looking for a computer. OMG, Really!!! Looking for a computer in a store that sells them! I asked if they had printers. She finally came out with the map. I watched the wizard demonstrate the features of Apple Intelligence while I waited. Then it dawned on me. Real Apple Intelligence must be defined by the service you provide to customers who own your products. Not by technological gimmicks that provide a dopamine high. BTW, I learned that my battery failed because of a software download to my phone that I had to make to sync it with the Apple watch that purchased at this same store on 12/6. After the download, the battery would not charge. Had the same problem with the iphone 6, several years ago. Tim, I urge you to start staffing Apple stores with more technical staff to service the equipment you sell. Do you really want to drive away customers over a battery replacement? I would also review the customer training that is provided to your associates. This was a pathetic experience. It was as if the most technologically advanced company on earth couldn't pour sand out of a boot with the instructions on the heel. Now that is real artificial intelligence. If it were possible to give no stars I would have done so. As a Good Samaritan I am forced and reluctantly give you 1. read more

Went in for a battery replacement for my iPhone 13, turns out I needed more than that and it was gonna cost me a lot more than I thought. Alberto (I think that was his name, hispanic male with glasses and some tattoos) helped me a lot and was able to get my problem fixed at no cost to me, covered under warranty. He was amazing and a big help!!! read more

My husband bought a refurbished iPad at Target recently, and it started having issues so I brought it into the Apple Store to have staff look at it. They determined it was a fault of the product, and gave me a replacement right then, at no cost. They helped me with the setup of the new iPad, and everything went great. Every time I've been in here I get exceptional customer service! read more

Ambiance is slow now and service is pretty fast. Quality is Apple. Selection is Apple products. I was able to get my Apple Watch trade in the device and get out within 20 minutes. I know everyone can hate on Apple but remember most of you guys have an iPhone be patient and wait. read more

Apple Pioneer Place - Inside the store - Mobile Phones Near Me - Portland, Oregon

horrible service ignored multpile times asked lady for help and she rolled her eyes absolute unprofessional from everyone here

Okay we can't blame Apple for the riots and Covid. It's an all glass building and they need to protect it and their staff. I am just happy they didn't skip town. They have done what they needed for survival. You no longer need an appointment to get in and the security person was welcoming and didn't ask any questions. We went first thing when it opened on a Saturday and there were 8-10 staff members lined up to help people as they entered. Others were already helping people. They found someone for us with the experience in the area we needed. We were in and out in 15 minutes after some questions and purchase so I felt that was great. Please support this location so our downtown doesn't turn into a ghost town. read more

For some reason you can't just go and by something at this store. You must dedicate a whole day for waiting patiently while people who work there walk by you repeatedly leaving you wondering if you will ever be helped. I finally need to replace my 2017 phone and wanted the simplest smallest phone avaiable. I called to see if coming to get a new phone today was practical before flying out of town for vacation tonight. I was encouraged on the phone that it would be relatively quick if I came in this afternoon . I live 15 minutes away and allotted 2.5 hours for the tedious task. But that wasn't enough! After waiting and waiting I had to leave without being helped at all. I did recieve some lip service, but was not able to buy a phone. Perhaps I'll try somewhere that has some concept of customer service. read more

I went to this store after calling in earlier concerning an issue with my AirPods not being able to be tracked, I told the employee and he said he couldn't do anything and told me to call apple after apple told me to go to the store and I tried telling him and he would cut me off not allowing me to try and explain what i was told. read more

I took my iPhone 7 to this store after my phone would not turn on. I researched it and said I would like a new batterie because I did research and there was a recall on batteries so I thought there is a good chance that's the issue. They said they tried hooking it up to the machine in the back and confirmed it's not the batterie. Well it took me 2 years but instead of paying them $350 for a Refurbished iPhone 7 I said I'll keep it and try swapping the batterie my self. So I bought a $15 batterie and $10 tool and swapped it and it works like new. Sounds like they try to have u swap your phone and pay $350 for a phone that someone else handed over and they just put a $15 batterie in it well nice profit . I will not be going back to this store ever and I also waited 2 hours for this bad service after I made an appointment that didn't really help me get seen any faster. read more

One of the busiest Apple stores. Still my pickup experience was great. The pickup station is towards the left side of the store. Check in there and wait for someone to being out your order.

First, this store is light, bright, clean, modern, minimalist and absolutely gorgeous with all glass walls like a human fishbowl. Now that I got that out of the way, let's talk about the customer service. The employees here are competent, super smart in their field, but never make the customer feel that they are lacking intelligence. They translate techie speak into "human" so anyone, whatever their level of technology is, can understand. That's a skill! A great skill. I spent 20 years in high tech and I can say that most techies can not articulate issues to those who are not. I call it bilingual and it's a valuable talent! The Apple employees have that ability. I've stopped in when I've had issues with my iPad or iTunes on my PC (I still use a Samsung phone) and they have been able to trouble shoot and resolve most issues. Maybe that's why this store is crowded every day, all day. It actually cracks me up. Pioneer Square is loaded with stores of all types, and it's practically deserted. As is the Microsoft store. But Apple, always filled with people. They must be doing something right! read more

I didn't have to wait for service (at all) on a Monday shortly after the store opened. Describing why I was in the store took longer than getting help. (I was replacing a dying iPad with a new model and then self-transferring data from old iPad to new one in the store with a tech support guy available to help me and the whole table in case of trouble.) My salesperson (Henry) was knowledgeable and inclined to talk me out of the very most expensive product I thought I wanted (2 Tb) for a slightly cheaper (1 Tb) model. At the self-serve tech support table, the guy helping seemed to really know his stuff and talked me through clicking past various menus to speed up the transfer process (my choice) since I thought I could update ApplePay, etc., later, on my own. What's weird is that they don't validate parking anymore. Admittedly, I haven't lived in PDX since the 1990's and just happened to be in town after my old device's battery crashed (while visiting family.) Even at the most expensive mall in Portland (from my grunge era youth), no parking stamp? Wow, it blows my mind. Then again, half of Pioneer Place is empty and all the interesting artistic stores seem to be gone, so maybe they can barely pay for their garage and really need a few bucks from me? I liked Coach leather more than Gucci and Louis Vuitton, and I really loved the art gallery store where I used to buy one of a kind jewelry in the first few years of this downtown mall, but all that is gone, along with the best optical store I ever went to for snazzy glasses. Anyone else remember that Koala Blue shop?... At any rate, I thought it was obnoxious that I had to pay $12 to park my car to spend $1800 for a new iPad, but, fortunately, that isn't going to destroy my budget. If Pioneer Place (or Apple) is serious about courting high end customers, though, it really ought to validate parking. read more
