One to One (Apple)

One to One (Apple) was a service provided by Apple Inc. aimed at helping customers get the most out of their Apple products. Launched alongside the Apple Store in 2007, One to One offered personalized training sessions, setup assistance, and guidance on a wide range of topics, from basic device setup to advanced software usage. This service was designed to enhance the customer experience, providing a more individualized approach to learning and using Apple's technology.

Overview

One to One service was available for a yearly subscription fee and could be purchased with a new Mac at any Apple Store. Subscribers could schedule up to 52 sessions a year, each lasting up to an hour. The program covered various topics, including Mac OS X, iLife, iWork, and other Apple software applications. It also offered assistance with migrating data from a previous computer, setting up email, and creating a backup strategy.

Services Offered

The One to One program included several key services:

• Personal Setup: Assisted new Mac owners in setting up their device, including system configuration, software installation, and basic orientation.

Discontinuation

Apple discontinued the One to One service in 2015, shifting focus towards free workshops and online resources.

Despite its discontinuation, the One to One service is remembered for its personalized approach to customer education and its role in enhancing the Apple retail experience.
