Why don't you just ask the person who is going to get the discount for you?

I want to buy macbook pro 13" m1 and iPhone 12 pro.
I have a friend who works in Apple but I don't want to bother him too much. Can you buy those in 15% discount or not yet?

I’m not incredibly surprised to see the 15% is there.

As a former Apple employee, I remember it taking sometimes weeks If not months before the full 25% EPP.

I think the Intel Macs were the very rare exception.

Were you replying to my message about the Mac Mini M1 and do you work for Apple?
6% is the standard discount Apple offers on Macs to employees of companies who sign up for the discount program (they are usually also volume buyers of Apple products). It also falls under the EPP umbrella.

Interesting. Thank you for the info! 6% is not much as Amazon is giving $40 and Costco $30 off already + extra warranty. There was a comment above about 25% discounts, so it sounds like the discount % fluctuates? When it's a new product, it's low, but as it ages, it gets bigger (up to 25%?). Does that sound about right?

Typically it's constant. 6% is common for Macs. 10% for AppleCare, and 2% for iPhones and iPads. The discounts aren't much, and typically resellers have better deals a month or so after new releases. I'm not sure if Apple is planning any Black Friday deals (likely not), but I would expect some resellers to.

I got my standard 6% discount ordering my M1 MacBook Air through my employer’s EPP. So I got the M1 MacBook Air 16/512 8-Core GPU model for $1362 plus tax.
I meant Apple's Employee Purchase Program, the 15% discount given to apple employee's
