4. APPLE UK COMPLAINTS

 

Apple does not have a specialised complaints department. Instead, each employee is expected to take ownership of problems and resolve it. If they are unable to do so, they will escalate it up the internal chain.

 

You may seek support by telephone (using the numbers listed above), online chat or email (using the support page) or visiting an Apple Store. Please use the Apple Store locator to find the nearest branch to you.

 

When all else fails, and you’d like to go all the way to the top, you might want to consider sending an email to Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook.

 

• tcook@apple.com (email is monitored by a team)

 

Surprisingly, anecdotal evidence suggests that complaints to this email are sometimes resolved very quickly.

 

5. CALLING APPLE UK CUSTOMER SERVICES

 

Apple is the biggest company in the world by market value. Its market valuation in 2018 is a staggering $961 billion – that’s three times larger than the GDP of Ireland! We tell you this so you will be prepared for the inevitably long waiting time when calling Apple’s customer services. Even a face-to-face appointment with the Genius Bar might take a while.

 

To minimise your waiting time, here are a few steps you can take:

 

• Call during a leisure period. Do not call during working hours or when you are doing something else. Otherwise, the wait will seem longer and you will easily become aggravated.

 

• Call during off-peak hours. This is common sense. If you call at nine in the morning or at two in the afternoon, you’re going to be waiting longer.

 

• Be kind. Yes, you’re frustrated, but don’t take it out on the service representative. You will only disincentivise them from going above and beyond for you. Honestly, when was the last time you did something extra for someone who’s rude to you?

6. ABOUT APPLE UK

 

Apple (UK) is a subsidiary of Apple Inc., a California-based technology company which builds and sells consumer electronics products and software.

 

The company was co-founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne (who sold his share after 12 days) – all colleagues at Atari at the time. Jobs financed the product development of the embryonic enterprise by securing a $15,000 personal loan.

 

Success came quickly for the company, and by the 1980s, Apple was already one of the biggest technology companies in the world. However, Apple’s flagship computer, Macintosh, struggled to compete with the cheaper personal computers using Microsoft’s operating systems (Windows) and Intel’s powerful microprocessors.

 

The company went through a lean 1990s, which even saw the ouster of Jobs as CEO. However, Apple regained its momentum in 1998 when a faction supporting Jobs on the board managed to reinstate him as CEO. Jobs then dragged Apple through a whirlwind of changes culminating with the release of the iPhone on June 29, 2007.

 

With its unique operating system, the iPhone revolutionised mobile communication, and almost instantly reshaped the face of the smartphone landscape. It also almost destroyed ancient giants like Nokia.

 

Today, Apple has become more than just a technology company – it represents youth, innovation and luxury.
