Does Apple have a military discount?

Yes. Apple operates a Veterans and Military Purchase Program with special savings on Apple products and accessories.

Apple's current public page says a 10% discount is available to current and veteran members of the U.S. Military, National Guard, and Reserve. Immediate family members who live in the same household are also listed as eligible.

How to get the Apple military discount

Start from Apple's Veterans and Military Store page and verify your status with ID.me. Once verification is complete, shop through that Apple store path rather than the standard store page.

If you already have an ID.me account, you can use it. If not, Apple sends you through ID.me's verification flow as part of the purchase path.

What to check before checkout

Apple's product prices, promos, trade-in values, financing rules, and exclusions can change. Apple also notes that Apple Card Monthly Installments are not currently available for this offer.

Before buying, compare the military-store price against Apple's education store, refurbished store, trade-in credit, and major retailer sales. The military discount can be strong, but it is not automatically the lowest price for every product on every day.

  • Military store price
  • Apple education pricing, if you qualify
  • Apple refurbished pricing
  • Trade-in value
  • Current sales at other retailers
