Bizarre move from apple. From a fairly hippy pacifist founder to discounts for the army, not exactly expected, doubt Jobs would appove at all.
Killer discounts.

Good grief people, a discount for veterans isn't "pro-war." It is a discount to those who signed up to defend your self-indulgent hipster attitudes. Most soldiers want peace (we don't like being shot at).
If you haven't served, you have no idea how much a veteran has sacrificed for you, even in peacetime.

$899 for iPhone XS and $674 for iPhone XR? Those look closer to what the prices should be before a discount at this point, lol. I don't often put a lot of stock into the claims about Apple sales being down because this is often proven wrong each year, but this kind of looks like a sign that maybe things aren't as insanely great as they're used to. Either way this is a good addition.

i have a friend at Apple who can get me 15% off and i still won't buy a Xs Max.
Oh man, you’re an absolute hero. Truly courageous.
You could probably get this discount too. Sure you may not be a veteran, but with that sort of incredible bravery you could certainly qualify.
If only we could be half the man you are, this world would be a better place. Thank you for your service.

Yeah, discounts for people who are "brave" enough to join the military.. protecting american people. In Afghanistan.
Exactly. Brave enough to sacrifice their time, energy, blood, sweat, tears, family, and freedom to travel all over the world to fight our enemies, so you can sit in your moms basement, and write stupid crap like that on the internet.

Exactly what I thought. It shows how overpriced recent Apple products have become for normal customers, 10-15% more expensive than they should be.

How many Apple fanboys will enlist to get this discount?

Because even putting your life on the line for your country can barely afford you an Apple product.
