Great point! I wasn't even thinking about how this impacts Apple employees until your post. Do the phone support tech's also handle the iMessage chat support side of things too? I guess I just assumed there would be different teams assigned to specific groups of support. If so, maybe you could put in a request to be on the iMessage chat support team???
Support over the phone is one group. They handle pretty much just iOS stuff. Mac support over the phone handles pretty much just macOS stuff. Each group overflows into the other a little, but they stick to boundaries pretty well.
There's also chat support for both lines of business, which is dreaded. Double or triple chats at a time. Crazy stressful and nobody can wait to leave there. As of right now, we're only being offered BS entry-level support queues. It's a slap in the face.
