Complain About Apple TV - File a Complaint Today

It's not just you. The new Apple TV app is a mess, hiding your purchased movies and pushing subscriptions. It's infuriating. And it seems we're not alone. Apple has over 3,900 complaints filed against them on the Better Business Bureau in the last three years alone. Common issues flagged on sites like BBB often point to problems with the product, billing, and customer service. It feels like they just aren't listening. Trying to get a straight answer can be a total nightmare. Official site: Visit Apple TV

🔍 Tips to Get a Quicker Response from a Complaint

  • Call during off-peak hours (like mid-morning on a weekday) to avoid long waits.
  • Use the Apple Support app. It often streamlines the process by gathering device info for you.
  • Have your device's serial number and your Apple ID ready before you contact them.
  • Be clear and concise. Start with the problem, what you've tried, and what you want.

How to Escalate Your Complaint

If the first support agent can't help, don't hang up. Politely but firmly ask to speak with a senior advisor. They have more authority to issue refunds or fix complex account problems. If that still goes nowhere, it's time to go external. Filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) will almost always get a formal response from Apple's corporate team. The BBB process works, but be prepared to wait a few weeks for the back and forth. For issues of misleading practices, you can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or your state's Attorney General.

Email Template to Complain to Apple TV

Subject: Urgent: Unresolved Issue with Apple TV Purchase - Account [[Your Apple ID]]

I am writing again to resolve an issue with my Apple TV account, as my previous contact with support on [[Date]] did not fix the problem.

On [[Date of Incident]], I was unable to access a movie I purchased, [[Movie Title]], due to the recent app update. The movie is no longer visible in my library. Frankly, spending my evening trying to navigate the new interface just to find something I already paid for has been incredibly frustrating.

To resolve this, I need you to either restore access to my purchased content immediately or issue a full refund of [[$Amount]] to my account.

If I don't receive a satisfactory response within 48 hours, my next step will be to file a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

[[Your Name]]

Additional Helpful Tips to get Your Complaint Resolved

  • The second you feel you're going in circles, politely say, 'I'd like to speak with a senior advisor, please.' Don't wait for them to offer.
  • Always ask for a case number. Always. It's your proof and your shortcut for every future call about the same issue.
  • A user on Reddit mentioned that after getting nowhere with chat support, they tagged @AppleSupport on X (formerly Twitter) with their case number and got a callback from a higher level tech within an hour.
  • Get it in writing. After a phone call, ask the agent to email you a summary of the conversation and what they promised to do. This creates a paper trail.
