Apple recently removed Support Profiles from its website, redirecting the page to a new "Get Support" tool that similarly enables customers to check their technical support and service coverage status for iPhones, iPads, Macs, and other Apple products they own. There is, however, one notable difference.
The new "Get Support" tool only lists Apple products signed into any given Apple ID, whereas the old Support Profiles page allowed customers to add additional products, including those owned by others. The change is cumbersome for families in particular, as managing multiple devices is now more difficult.
The main concern is that users may only have one Apple ID associated with a given device at a time, so now the only way to manage multiple devices is to manually sign in and out of multiple Apple IDs on the website. While not a major problem, a number of MacRumors readers have emailed us with negative feedback about the change.
The change also prevents non-iCloud devices such as older iPods from being added to the list. Users can manage their devices on their Apple ID account page.

Ever since they redesigned the site not too long ago, the entire support part is horrendous. Getting repairs and support used to be quick and easy. Now you have to jump through hoops and they don't have accessory support easy to find.
And it's crazy that you can't even use the app to schedule genius appointments anymore.And it's crazy that you can't even use the app to schedule genius appointments anymore.
I tried using the new support portal online to change my genius bar reservation... only to get errors to try again every day until the 4 days that passed until my appointment, and it still wouldn’t let me cancel even after the date passed. In all, a piss poor service on Apple’s part, especially since people looking for this portal likely are pissed off at them already needing servicing.My appointment was held and reserved for 6 days even though I wanted to cancel it, no wonder why my local store is booked more than my doctors office... they can’t cancel!
Two steps forward ten steps back.
It is their mantra everyday as of late.
