Apple Pacific Centre

I love the staff at the Apple store.They are friendly and knowledgeable and make it so easy to get what you need.Plus they have the coolest place in Vancouver to buy Apple products.The brand new store is located in downtown Vancouver right across Vancouver art gallery (W Georgia & Howe St)

Best Apple Store must have all iteam with full stock availableNice one

I love Apple. Most of my products are Apple. This store is new and very beautiful. The customer service and quality of employees leave a lot to be desired. My appointment at the genius bar was very unpleasant. The specialist who helped me had the worst case of resting b* face the entire time he was talking to me. Not a single smile. The entire encounter it was written on his face what do you want

Beautiful storefront and interior. Looks stunning from the street. Love the living wall on the outside. Buzzing inside and lots of assistance if available if you need it - OR you can just browse and check things out on your own.

Apple Pacific Centre used to be hidden inside the CF Pacific Centre Mall, but recently moved to a corner location in the mall and now it has a prominent exterior presence.Architecturally it looks stunning, especially at night.  Apple chose well and executed a very creative design in a brilliant location.  The store gets a lot of sun and the view is great through the massive front windows.  All the wood tones throughout the two level space compliment the sunshine and give everything a warm glow.  It’s an Apple store so the design is both elegant and simple…which I love.The second floor seems dedicated more to education and experience, than sales.  It has a seating area and a front bench that faces the giant windows where you can enjoy the amazing view.  The staff encouraged me to check it out, as I waited for my new iPhone 14 Pro to transfer data from the iCloud.  Which was a great way to pass the time.A stairway leads to the upper level and this pathway is quite stunning with the minimalist design and the roof top skylight windows.  It’s powerful because the lines are so clean.  As you climb the stairs it feels like you might be exploring an Egyptian Pyramid, or perhaps a cathedral.  It gave me a feeling of reverence, which I assume, was the intent of the design.I think you have to be both a photographer and philosophical by nature in order to appreciate the “Apple Nuance.”  An Apple Store is not a Dollar Store where the focus is on saving space and money.  Apple Stores are about experiencing a product, not buying it.The pictures I included here are from a single visit to the Pacific Centre store in June.  Where I purchased an iPhone 14 Pro.  I’ve taken a lot of pictures of the store exterior, in the past, but haven’t shot the interior at all.  I could have spent much longer shooting the interior, but I didn't want to wear out my welcome.When I bought the iPhone 14 Pro, I traded in my older iPhone 8 and iPhone 13 Mini.  Which was nice because I hate selling anything on Craigs List.  The Apple staff helped me transfer my data from the old phone to the new one and set it up.  That part was all good.  No complaints there, Apple staff have always been patient and helpful.  I love phone cameras but I don't like all the other apps on the phone, or iCloud issues and the set-up process.I like this new Apple store for the same reason I liked the old Apple store.  Because the products and services are still the same. I've bought many items at this store and always had a positive experience. Presentation is important but the products and services have to be good, or all is lost.However, I was hoping that maybe the new iPhone 14 Pro would be even better than the iPhone 14 Plus I still have, and still shoot. But unfortunately nothing has changed. iPhones have great video but the photos suck.  I thought the iPhone 14 Pro would be a game changer for photography with the addition of Apple ProRaw.  But alas, no luck.My Google Pixel 6 & 7 make better photos than the iPhone 14 Pro.  Especially for people pictures.  Google Pixel colors, especially with skin tones, are the best.  The photos I included here were taken with both the iPhone 14 Pro and the Google Pixel 6.  You probably can’t spot the difference, but I can.  The Google Pixel photos look better to my eye, and the camera is more fun to shoot.Keep in mind that I’m also an extremely fussy artist who has never made money with their images.  I’m not a pro.  I will hang on to the 14 Pro because the video is much better than the Pixel cameras.  In addition, the Apple IOS is solid as a rock.  The hardware build is also solid.  iPhones are very dependable and reliable phones and this is very important in the long run.  Also, if you have access to amazing subject matter, then the technical quality of your photos is not important.  Story and character will always rule…and iPhones will always get the job done.  You can count on it.

As for the new store design, a 5-star rating is enough. Ground floor though is having the same concept as any ordinary Apple store anywhere. The classy atmosphere starts when you go up the second floor thru a tall flight of stairs. Though a calorie-burning stint, you can easily catch your breath as you enter this floor with a 180-degree panoramic view of Vancouver Gallery and nearby buildings worthy as the background of your photo-snapping skills. Its lounge area can be a place to view the goings-on at Vancouver Art Gallery frontage. Even the washrooms are so tidy and innovative that you can flush the toilet by just waving your hand across the sensor. The very wide-screen TV on the wall makes this floor a bonus for providing interactive tutorial sessions on Apple apps and other products.

As an apple user with all Apple devices, I have to say going to this store to get help with bad aiprods was the worst experience ever. The customer service of some employees especially Anmita leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Rude, condescending and everything customer service isn't supposed to be.Save yourself some stress and visit a different store

Well well well , For whatever reason we have a lot of people singing the blues about the apple store. I have no idea why there are so many because every time I go there I have nothing but number one service. There is one thing I must say. It is really easy to criticize, to find fault. This is called Earth, where nothing is perfect. Maybe wait to go to heaven where everything is perfect but I feel a lot of these people will still have something to complain about there.Anyway, besides the point I went on Thursday and had my iPad Pro 10.5 replaced because of the battery. It was below 80% capacity and for the price of a new battery, ($144.00) I was giving a new iPad and a few employees walked me through the process, which took a lot of time, because I have way too many apps. My fault, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea Maxima culpa! So, to make a long story a bit shorter. Jen was excellent in helping me navigate my way through. She was very attentive and knew her stuff. A 1. She even helped to set me up to recharge my iPhone while I was waiting. She has a disability (deaf) but she provided better service than most of the other people. I’m glad I brought a newspaper. L O L. Slow wifi ??? The new store is pretty amazing. (Other than the slow wifi.) The staff are great and they all do their best.

One of the most prolific malls in Vancouver, Apple Pacific Centre provides gourmet collection of apparels & eating facilities, drawing an unavoidable attraction of buyers to the market undoubtedly.
