Hey all!

Very excited about the new Macbook Pro but it looks like it still isn't available for the EPP (or friends and family discount) looking at the forums, it looks like the last few Apple machines had a delay for the discounts too. Does anyone know when we might see it become available for this new Macbook Pro?

Thanks!

Not sure, but you're right that the EPP did not provide a discount on the new MBP models yesterday. It did discount the AppleCare+ and the accessories (e.g. 140W power brick and USB-C->MagSafe cable).

That's very interesting, I wonder if it's like a stock issue? Or maybe now Apple waits for the first lot to go before it opens up EPP? Either way really hope we don't have to wait long :(

That's quite common that they aren't available via EPP until a few months after launch.

We got a discounted one through Education Program, though.

my friend sent a screen shot showing the standard discount but the disclaimer that it’s not yet available. Curious how long it will be.

Probably not for awhile. Why sell something at a discount when you have people waiting in line to pay full price?

Dont get me wrong, I know that Apple will always want to sell them full price, but the discounts are mainly for Apple staff and a perk of the job) so it's a little cruel to make staff wait even longer. I just hope it's before the end of the year :(

Any apple employees here that can check to see if it’s up yet? I’m trying to spread checking between everyone

Some of the device has just come up for Apple F&F. Can someone confirm it? I got this info from another forum. Please do check for Apple Watch Series 7

I’m confused because a member here said it was available on Apple employee’s portal for 25% personal and 15% f&f discount on October 18th.. but I know I had my friend check October 19th and it wasn’t there. Are you guys talking about Apple employees?

The MB Pro currently is only available for the 25% personal discount and not the 15% and looking at how the iPhone 13 still is not on the FF site it will likely be a while before the MB Pro is added also

Do you know when the 25% discount went up?

An Apple friend ordered me one on 25% off last week. Estimated December 5 or so. Stoked. It went up immediately but the 15% friends and family still not up AFAIK.

Someone in another post is saying that for China & Singapore, the MacBook Pro F&F discounts are up ?

Hopefully someone else can confirm too.

That’s amazing your mate gave you the 25% discount. Wow.
