Do Apple have a complaints department in the UK?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide me with the contact details I need.

OK, heated discussion aside I have just posted this in another thread regarding logging a formal complaint in the UK. Here are the steps I took and would recommend...
Please bear in mind the feedback option recommended by some does not guarantee a response - as is stated on the actual feedback option
Phone 0844 209 0611
You will go through a few phone prompts and then be put through to a person in Apple Care
He/She will ask you to confirm the serial number and tell you if the product is within warranty
He/She will ask how they can help
Describe to them the outline of your issue and finish by telling the person you wish to raise a formal complaint
He/She will advise you that you are going to be transferred to Customer Services
I was on hold for a couple of minutes but the person transferring me joined my call again to advise that the wait would be a couple of minutes more (someone keeping you up to date - nice touch)
When the Customer Services person was ready to take the call the original person conferenced in the person and introduced us both before leaving us to it
You are now through to someone who can process, evaluate and repond to your complaint
The response may or may not be that day, tomorrow etc etc but the person will advise you of the timeline, your case ID and their contact details
You have now logged your complaint and it is being addressed by someone with the authority to respond and if necessary authorise any further action (contribute to repairs etc)
I have tested this personally and it works. Total time spent on the phone? Around ten minutes. I am of course now awaiting Apple's verdict 🙂
Cheers,
Andy

I have iphone 6 its really lacking too much i think its apple default because when apple lauch a new product then itself give a update so that its old phone start lacking.
I don’t think it’s arrogance. I think that they just don’t care.
Go to the link I suggested. They will have the facilities to escalate the matter.

I'm now considering to change to Huawei. I seriously don't think it's worth it to pay so much for the Apple's when they don't even want to listen to customer complaints!!
You should always buy the product that best meets your needs. As has been noted, the fact that Apple doesn't have a "Complaints Department" doesn't mean they're not listening to their customers. I agree with Chris CA. I'd much rather talk to the "Getting Things Fixed Department". Apple has a very good one of those.
Hi,
What did you do in the end? I'm in a similar position. I have a defective iPad, bought direct from them less than 2 months ago, they've tried everything to fix its many issues, even uninstalling and reinstalling the OS, and I want a replacement. They want to fix it. To me, because it's so new and has been defective out of the box, any repairs made will effectively result in me having paid full price for a refurb' device. I'm disabled, and my nearest Genius Bar is as far away as yours is, but my only other option is to send it in, and then it's down to whether the engineers want to fix it or replace it, which doesn't seem fair to me. Tech support said there was no guarantee of a store replacing it, either.

If you send it in, you will get a replacement iPad.
You will not receive the same iPad back.
Hi have had an issue with my iPad after being damaged by the apple's smart keyboard, sent it back and they replaced with a refurbished iPad, now that iPad keeps turning itself off, its been back in again and they say nothing is wrong, got it back this morning and still turning itself off. I have had Apple products since 2008 but they just don't want to know. its a lot of money to spend for things that arnt fit for use, time for a change.
I have loads of Apple products (probably like everyone here). I’ve recently had an issue with a £2,500 MacBook Pro with touch bar and had truly awful service from Apple.
There has always been arrogance around their products, but a lot was over looked because of the quality, but the experience I’ve had recently is unforgivable... and they just don’t care.
Love the products, hate the company.

I know Apple CS / Support aren't on here, and didn't say they were. Obviously there are moderators.
The point is that all the Hosts do is moderate. They don't take complaints or feedback. So, posting here doesn't tell Apple very much. If you want Apple to be aware of a problem, you contact Customer Service.
It was also a bit of a rant. There is another route you could take. Go here and enter the details from where you should be able to find a one to one phone service.
