Apple is currently offering an exclusive 40% discount to its corporate and retail employees on select Link Bracelet and Milanese Loop bands for the Apple Watch.
Apple employees are also entitled to a 50% discount on various Black Unity, Pride Edition, and Sport Band in Midnight color.
Apple Opens Special Discounts for Employees
Apple is known for offering employee discounts on certain products including devices and accessories. Generally, the discount could range from 10% to 40% off the retail price.
The company has been giving special discounts on a rotating selection of products, however, the current offer does not clarify whether it is part of the routine sale or a hint for a discontinuation.
Previously, there were rumors stating that one of the next-generation Apple Watch models would not be compatible with the current bands available. If it is true, this could be the best time to purchase the Link Bracelet and Milanese Loop as the company could be clearing in inventory.
The Link Bracelet is now available for only $209 on Apple's online store for employees while the Milanese Loop is now down to $59.
Next-Gen Apple Watch on WWDC 2024
Apple enthusiasts and consumers are looking forward to the much-awaited annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 10. The jam-packed event will introduce the latest iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS updates.
As for the Apple Watch, the next generation lineup is expected to be announced in September alongside the iPhone 16 series. Previously, the device has been under scrutiny after facing a lawsuit due to the disputed blood oxygen feature.
The company has since then made adjustments to avoid import ban and any complications for the current models, and most likely to the next models. For instance, the blood oxygen feature is removed for now.
