Education has always been one of the areas Apple has invested in for a long time. They believe that if technology can be used properly, it can help learners from different backgrounds obtain fairer opportunities and make the teaching and learning process more efficient. Based on this concept, Apple provides educational discounts on multiple products throughout the year through its online Apple Education Store and global direct stores, allowing students and faculty in colleges and universities to obtain the tools they need at relatively affordable prices.
Apple’s education discount program expands coverage, and Apple Watch series is officially included
This year, Apple is extending its education offer to Apple Watch. From now on, students and educators in colleges and universities can enjoy educational discounts when purchasing Apple Watch through online education stores or direct stores. This update comes just before the graduation and back-to-school seasons. For those who need to strike a balance between schoolwork, life and health, the functions provided by Apple Watch are of certain practicality.
For daily use, Apple Watch provides a number of tools related to learning and life management. For example, “Focus Mode” can reduce distractions during class, self-study, or when you need to concentrate on tasks; “Siri” and “Timer” can help you quickly query information, set reminders, or control time. “Calendar” and “Reminders” can help arrange courses, homework and life schedules, while the mobile network connection function allows users to stay connected while outside, without having to rely on their mobile phones.
Health and fitness features are another focus of Apple Watch. The “Activity Record” app displays the daily activity amount in a three-ring format to help users establish regular living habits. The “Physical Training” app supports a variety of sports types and can track different activities such as running, swimming, and fitness. Sleep tracking and sleep scores provide reference information on sleep quality, which can help adjust the rhythm of life for students with irregular schedules.
Security features are also valued by many users. “SOS Emergency Service” can quickly contact emergency support when needed, while “Crash Detection” can automatically assist in calling for help when a serious collision is detected. For students who commute to and from campus or frequently go out, these functions can provide a certain degree of protection in unexpected situations.
Apple Watch models currently included in education discounts include Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Ultra, which are included in year-round education discounts along with Mac, iPad and some accessories. If you need to know how to purchase, eligibility or more details, you can go to Apple Education StoreQuery. The current purchase of Apple Watch also includes a three-month free trial of Apple Fitness+. This service provides a variety of exercise courses. Users can choose training content according to their own needs and track exercise data through Apple Watch. This is an additional resource for anyone who needs to maintain an exercise routine outside of school or work.
