    This is the 2nd Apple store for UTC.  I remember the 1st store had huge lines back in the old days whenever a new Iphone came out.  This new store is big and cool looking.  I was looking to buy a new laptop before the tariffs boosted the prices up.  The M1 based Macbook Pro I was using was running slow as I frequently used up all the ram as I like having lots of browser windows open. Getting another Macbook Pro was not that attractive as the one I was interested in was close to $3k.  The 15" Macbook Air was more attractive as the price was close to $2k.  I tried out both and a friendly knowledgeable employee answered all my questions.  I decided on getting the Macbook Air 15" with 32GB ram and 1 TB ssd.  Apple employee helped me order it with educational discount and said it would be ready in about 2 weeks. Less than 2 weeks later my laptop was ready and I picked it up from another nice employee.  The order and pickup process was easy.  I chose not to have it delivered as I didn't want to leave my laptop on my porch. My sky blue M4 Macbook Air is awesome.  I love the simple elegant design.  The M4 cpu is very fast.  I have not used up all the ram.  Love how thin and light it is at about a pound less than the Macbook Pro.  The 15" screen is bright and has excellent resolution.  Battery has lasted for days.  The only thing I miss is the sound was better on the Macbook Pro.  The Air is missing the bass so drums are missing that deep thump.  I am very happy with my purchase.

    This is my local Apple Store and I recently purchased the new Iphone 17 on release day with no pick up order seamlessly. My experience with the store associate there Aero was amazing. I felt this quality was gonna be matched on my next visit as this experience brought me to purchasing a new ipad air. While attempting to trade in my ipad air in store the first time a very kind sales associate told me that the trade in is possible, but I could only get apple store credit back due to a pending mail in trade in. He even went out of his way to tell us how he knows the feeling of wanting the cash back to the original payment method. He quickly provided us with the number to call to cancel the mailed trade in and told us to come back as soon as we canceled it to get a trade in credit back to the original payment. Since I had work I had to come in the next day. Coming in the next morning after cancelling my mail in trade in I was met with an extremely rude manager named Mindy Nguyen. She is the definition of bad customer service. As soon as I mentioned wanted to trade in her smile turned into a frown. I was repeatedly asked who did we trade in with yesterday. Also when told that we were instructed to cancel the mail in and come in for a credit back to original payment Mindy Nguyen kept urging that she can only do a gift card. Even when checking the ipad for trade in she showed me that a gift card can be issued or an original payment method. She explicitly said that she can't and will not do the original payment method since she does not deem it an exception. She stated manager approval is required for it and that she is the manager so she is not approving it. She consistently told us to bring in the ipad purchased and return it to get the trade in credit in person. She provided no resolution and has no concern for peoples time.

    Since I migrated to Apple (iPhone, desktop, iPad, etc.) 15 years ago, my life has been stress-free, and have never experienced any virus attacks as with Microsoft (fingers crossed). I also love to visit this Apple store every time I go to UTC. It's spacious with all the latest products and lots of staff on hand to support. I love their workshops where (if you have the time or needs) you can sit, relax, and learn more about how to navigate their products. Their staff is always so helpful if you have any questions. Guess what is one of my wish lists for Christmas this year?

    It's usually crowded for such a small space. Apple needs to expand this store.

    Do they take cash as a form of payment?

    Absolutely!

    Is it dog friendly?

    not a clue, but they sure weren't people friendly

    Does this place have an actual genius bar? if so are they capable of replacing my MacBook pro battery regarding the recall?

    Setup an appointment through the Apple website or call it into Apple and they'll set one up for you. But it's easier through the appointment on the Apple website. I had mine swapped like that before as well at the Genius Bar there!

    We had an exceptional experience at the Verizon store on La Jolla Village Drive! Huge thank you to…read moreJason, Alex, and Eder for taking such great care of us!!!!! They took the time to explain all of our options for adding more phones to our family plan and helped us take advantage of our Verizon loyalty rewards. Because of their help, we were able to upgrade to new phones AND lower our monthly payment!! Jason was exceptionally knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and never made us feel pressured or rushed. He genuinely wanted to find the best deal for our family, and we really appreciated that. Exceptional customer service from start to finish. Highly recommend this location and this team!!!

Do not give your money to them and port out. This is a cell phone store posing as Verizon. The delineation between a Corporate store and retail non Corporate store is very misleading and deceptive. Either way the lack of cohesion with customer care will be the same either way. Verizon cosplays as they're the best carrier. This may have been true at one time. Now in 2025 they're like the new Sprint!! DO NOT ENTER A CONTRACT WITH VERIZON. All your calls will be transferred to a company down in the Philippines called iQor, Teleperformance, Concentrix, etc. and they lie through their teeth about everything. They will screw you on deals. It's straight up actual fraud. It's kid run customer service call centers. You then escalate to Verizon's "Executive Team" and they'll take ZERO corporate responsibility and they'll just fart in your face!! You're cooked, game over, the end. You'll have to resort complaining to the FTC, FCC, BBB, and AG Robert Bonta's, and AG Letitia James office in NY. For real! If you're insistent on screwing yourself over and do not like yourself... Then Google how to OPT OUT of Arbitration with Verizon!! Verizon is pure freakin trash. Go to AT&T or T-Mobile or a no name carrier.

Went to him for a phone battery replacement. He is local, and honestly, he has low prices ($45 +tax for the battery replacement). He told me that his battery is not original product (ie, not Apple battery). That's fine, I just needed my phone to hold a charge. The new battery he replaced with was WORSE than my old battery. It went from 94% to 70% in less than an hour! I went back the next day, and his mannerism was abysmal. He told me, that's a new battery, must be a problem with your phone processor. I didn't want to risk trying another "un-original" phone battery through him and asked for a refund instead. He begrudgingly refunded $40, minus $5 for service fee. As I was leaving his kiosk, he blurted, "And don't come back." Like why? It was unwarranted, he could've just said nothing and let it be. Of course I wouldn't come back after such an experience. So I left, not only with a faulty battery, but also upset by his rude mannerism. The guy was angry at me for his own faulty product. And then gave me attitude for it... ;( Anyways, lesson learned to not go cheap. Went to Apple Store later that day, they ran diagnostics. Everything is fine with my phone. New battery ($69), and surprise surprise. It works just fine! I would advise anyone to avoid this place -- it's not worth the risk, nor the time and frustration, and overall horrendous customer service.
