Just to say- I called the central Apple sales team about the F&F discount to see if they could offer any insight and the guy I spoke to said F&F for the new products is available in-store, I would just have to ask the store what information they need me to bring in to prove I'm eligible for the discount. However I spoke to a UK store and they said this wasn't the case, and that they can't do F&F in-store :confused:

I'm not really sure what happened there... but just letting you guys know in case you wanted to try calling your local store!

Have you found the answer for this?
Yes, the employees have to purchase it through the F&F store for the region and they get instant 15% discount whereas it's 17% in India, albeit via reimbursement.

I just looked at the 2020 forum for the iPhone 12 pro, and it looks like it was 20 Nov 2020 before it was available on F&F. Given the semiconductor issues this year, is it possible it could even be later than Nov 20th this year?
Also, that got to 15 pages...!

Yeah but the iPhone 12 was released in mid-October. iPhone 13 was released in mid-September. We would've already had it if we were on the iPhone 12 timeline.

It’s quit silly someone at apple can’t leak the date it will be available..

If it’s not here by mid November best bet it won’t be till December or later..
Apple isn’t make nearly as much as it wants to this year because of the shortage so I feel they are going to want to make as much as they can..

Fingers crossed for tomorrow! Or next week!

I believe Apple do not have F&F offline, rather, they offer 10% on spot discount for offline EPP. Thus, you should be able to bring your Apple friend alone and let them buy it at store. However this is fewer than 15% and not meant for F&F. (not 100% sure)

hmm, better check with your friend again. In sg, iPhone and MacBook are sure, watch I don’t know. In China everything is ON.

But no worries, the wait has ended!
Can you help to check for watch as well ?

THATS GREAT NEWS. You mean, Macbook Pros right?

For this F&F store purposes, Does China include HK?

(Can you check iPad Mini 6 please? ?)

(And thank you for answering all these!)

I just checked with someone in Apple now and it's not listed on the F&F portal (for reimbursement) yet. This is for us folks in India I guess.
