For the first time, the Apple Watch is now available with a discount for students and teachers in select markets. <\/p>\n<p>Apple is also expanding verification requirements to use the Education Store to new markets \u2026 <\/p>\n<p>Starting today, Apple Watch can be purchased with a discount via the Education Store in the following countries: <\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Australia <\/li>\n<li>China (via AliPay) <\/li>\n<li>Hong Kong<\/li>\n<li>Japan <\/li>\n<li>Malaysia <\/li>\n<li>Singapore<\/li>\n<li>South Korea<\/li>\n<li>Taiwan<\/li>\n<li>Thailand<\/li>\n<li>Vietnam <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, Apple is now requiring verification through the Education Store in Hong Kong and Australia. Previously, Apple required verification in all the aforementioned markets, but not in Hong Kong or Australia. Apple is collaborating with UNiDAYS for verification. <\/p>\n<p>With this change, you\u2019ll need to provide verification you are eligible before making a purchase from Apple\u2019s Education Store. <\/p>\n<p>In Australia, for example, the Apple Watch Series 11 starts at A$609 via the Education Store, compared to its usual price of A$679. Apple Watch SE 3 starts at A$369 (down from A$399). Apple Watch Ultra starts at A$1,259, down from $A$1,399. <\/p>\n<p>Apple Watch isn\u2019t available via the Education Store in other markets. <\/p>\n<p>If you live in one of the aforementioned markets, you can head to Apple\u2019s Education Store to check out the Apple Watch discounts. <\/p>\n<p><strong>My favorite Apple Watch links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow Chance<\/strong>:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@ChanceHMiller\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/chancemiller.me\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/chancehmiller\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mastodon.social\/@ChanceHMiller\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mastodon<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/9to5mac.com\" aria-label=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1756837811_734_google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1756837812_347_google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple is rolling out a big change to the Education Store today.
