If you purchase a new Apple product, your device will have some issues. As far as I know, this is not a big deal and can be fixed by visiting the Apple Store. However if the problem is software-related and requires extended analysis, setting it up at the Apple Store could be time-consuming. Apple introduced its Genius Bar, which provides in-store support to accomplish this.
With the Apple Genius Bar, consumers get personal support with references. There is no charge to the user for using this service. However, you must note that if your device needs repair outside of the warranty, you must pay. But aside from that, the Apple Genius is the preferred option. But without adequate support, it is often difficult for people to get assistance. As a result, Apple has an appointment system. So, let’s learn how to do that.
