Apple has revealed a major update to its Education Store, featuring discounts on the Apple Watch for students and teachers in selected regions. This is the first occasion that the Apple Watch is offered at a lower price through the Education Store, broadening access to Apple’s wearable technology for the educational sector.
The discounted Apple Watch can now be found in these countries:
– Australia
– China (via AliPay)
– Hong Kong
– Japan
– Malaysia
– Singapore
– South Korea
– Taiwan
– Thailand
– Vietnam
Alongside the new discounts, Apple is improving its verification process for accessing the Education Store. From now on, verification will be necessary in Hong Kong and Australia, areas that were previously exempt from this requirement. Apple is collaborating with UNiDAYS to streamline the verification process, ensuring that only qualified students and educators can benefit from the discounts.
For instance, in Australia, the starting price for the Apple Watch Series 11 is A$609 through the Education Store, a drop from the regular price of A$679. The Apple Watch SE 3 is listed at A$369, down from A$399, while the Apple Watch Ultra is offered at A$1,259, reduced from A$1,399.
It is essential to recognize that the Apple Watch discounts are not applicable in all regions, and prospective buyers in the mentioned countries can visit Apple’s Education Store to check out the new pricing options.
This move by Apple not only enhances the accessibility of its products to the educational community but also underscores the company’s dedication to supporting students and educators in their tech requirements.
