What can Apple’s Genius Bar help you with?
The Genius Bar is a support service found within Apple Stores. It handles troubleshooting and repairs for Apple products and other services. The issue could be related to an Apple device or an Apple service you’re using – say, an Apple TV subscription. The people staffing Apple’s Genius Bar outlets are trained at the Apple corporate headquarters. They’re skilled to help with all your software and hardware concerns and assist you with your issues. Note: Not all kinds of repairs can be handled in-store. Sometimes, the Genius Bar needs to send your device off, especially if a more extensive repair is necessary — like a screen repair.
