Kinda shocked to see Apple do anything patriotic. Thank you to all who have served this awesome country.
Apple.com has a veterans dedicated shopping section that’s not publicly advertised but anyone who serves or has ever served can log in with their id.me account by heading into the Veterans and Military Purchase program through apple.com that legit gives you a decent 10% discount on apple products!

I use the service to purchase it online and pick it up locally, it’s legit!
