How do I contact Apple Support by chat?

I’m sure it should be simple, but I keep being given a dozen options, none of which seem to lead to chatting with an actual human.


ETA: FFS! Now I have to pick a ‘Community’? ***?? I JUST WANT TO COMMUNICATE WITH A HUMAN!!

Nevermind. I finally figured out how to get them by phone. Now to sit on hold for an hour waiting for a human...

That is probably why the system is set up for self-help and online assistance rather than everything being done by chat or phone calls. Even if you do try to bypass an online support option by going to a different topic (such as talking about Apple ID with a battery service person) which does offer chat or phone call I am not sure if you'll end up with somebody who knows about your topic. If you have done this then post back and let us know if it worked.
