  "account": "Apple has introduced a military discount, offering 10% off eligible products and accessories for current, veteran, National Guard, and Reserve members of the U.S. military, as well as their immediate family members living in the same household. Verification is conducted through ID.me, which is free for current military members to create using their .mil email address. Veterans can verify their service with their DD-214 or similar official documents.\n\nUpon verification, the ID.me account enables access to military discounts from other retailers that also use ID.me verification. The discount applies exclusively to Apple products and accessories, excluding third-party products and Apple services such as Apple Music and iCloud+. Orders can be shipped directly to customers or picked up in-store if the product is available at a nearby Apple Store.\n\nHowever, there are limitations to this offer. Apple does not include ACMI, financing options at 0% interest, or Apple Upgrade when purchasing through the Veterans and Military Store. To access the discount, purchases must be made through Apple’s website in a browser rather than the Apple Store app. The discount cannot be combined with carrier promotions or discounts on iPhone purchases. Trade-in offers specific to carriers are also excluded, but existing iPhones can still be traded in for their standard trade-in value.\n\nThe military discount becomes available on January 1 each year, providing a useful saving for those looking to buy a product at launch. However, it’s essential to compare prices with other retailers, as sales and promotions might offer better deals. Despite these caveats, the 10% discount can significantly reduce the cost of an expensive Apple purchase. For more Apple news, check out 9to5Mac on YouTube.",
