When shopping in Apple official website, you can enjoy the following benefits:
1, education or business concessions
For college students, college teachers and employees of some companies, when purchasing Apple products, they can get certain discounts through student ID cards or employee ID cards.
The specific value of the education discount depends on the model, which is generally between 90% and 95% of the basic pricing. For example, the latest basic price of iPad pro is 6 199 yuan, and the student discount is 5,799 yuan, which is 93.5% of the basic price. In addition, during the summer vacation every year, from mid-July to late September, you will buy Mac and iPad products (except the basic models of iPad mini and iPad), and you will also be given an additional airpods headset worth 999 yuan, which is very cost-effective.
Only when the company buys a certain number of Apple devices within one year can it enjoy the business discount. The more devices the company buys, the more favorable the business discount it enjoys. The discount price of most products is between 85% and 95% of the basic pricing.
2. Interest-free installment
Apple official website has its own interest-free installment policy. If you have credit cards from China Merchants Bank, China Construction Bank and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, or you have opened Alipay flower buds, you can choose to buy them in installments without extra interest.
3, quality assurance
Quality assurance is the cornerstone of official website's network construction, which cannot be guaranteed by other platforms. Let me first talk about the Apple phones that users may buy on major regular platforms:
Original equipment: models from Foxconn production to packaging to delivery to users. This is recognized as the best situation. Second, mobile phones: Because some platforms have a return policy, mobile phones can be returned if they are not activated, so there may be cases where the platform repackages this inactive second mobile phone and sells it again in the name of a new machine.
Official replacement: When a product has a component defect, Apple will recycle it and replace the defective component with a good one. After checking that there is no problem, it will be sold in official website as an Apple refurbished product. However, some platforms may also sell official exchange machines in the name of new machines.
Therefore, Apple equipment purchased in official website, unless marked as refurbished products, must be the original installed equipment delivered directly to users after production by Foxconn. Although there is no guarantee that it will be perfect, at least it will not be shoddy.
4. 14 days, no reason to return the goods.
Products purchased in Apple official website, whether activated or not, can be returned without reason within 14 days. This is what I think is the truest place of Apple official website. Once another platform is activated after purchase, it cannot be returned unless there is something wrong with the product. This is quite different from official website's return policy, such as:
I started using the product as soon as I got it, and found that the battery was not durable and the charging speed was particularly slow. I regret buying another brand. Customer service on other platforms will explain that Apple's system is like this, and once activated, it can't be refunded, but official website will agree.
After 6 days of product use, I found that the Apple system could not run a certain software. At this time, on other platforms, the customer service will think that it has been activated, and there is no reason to refuse the refund for 7 days, but official website will agree.
After using the product for 13 days, I suddenly felt that a certain design of the product looked ugly and I didn't like it. I told the truth on other platforms. I think the customer service will not only refuse the refund, but even want to have a fight with you, but official website will agree. To sum up, within 14 days, other platforms can be retired, official website can be retired, and other platforms can also be retired in official website.
I think this is very powerful and gives users a lot of choices. When many of my good brothers are hesitant to buy Apple products, I will tell him that you are buying them in official website now, and experience them after buying them. If you think you can, you can stay, or if you can't, you can leave 14 days. Some of them have left the product, and those who have no reason to return it within 14 days have never failed.
Of course, Apple's shopping in official website is not all advantages and disadvantages:
1, expensive
Simply put, official website products are more expensive than other platforms. Other platforms are generally purchased from Apple in large quantities and can get relatively favorable prices. It's normal to reduce the price of 1000 compared with official website when shopping festivals such as 6 18, double 1 1 or tens of billions of subsidies for platform activities in Pinduoduo.
Apple official website is really noble. It never caters to shopping festivals at home and abroad. Prices generally remain unchanged and remain high. If the price is reduced, it must be a new model. But according to the fruit powder, it's not Apple's fault, it's mine.
2, hot-selling products, slow delivery.
For example, the recent iPhone 13Pro series has reached the waiting time of 5-6 weeks because it is too hot and the stock is insufficient. What concept? You can forget to buy a mobile phone when placing an order and go to work normally. Then one day, you suddenly received a courier call, only to find that you actually bought iPone 13 a month ago, and you signed for it happily, and then you used it normally.
If you don't forget, you may experience the pain of watching the current delivery progress in official website three times a day. After being tortured for 40 days, I could only see the delivery information, and then I endured the extremely slow delivery of EMS. The happiness of getting a new machine is probably exhausted by the pain of waiting, which is really too painful. These are the advantages and disadvantages of Apple official website when purchasing.
When buying, your friend pays attention to cost performance and wants to buy her favorite products at the cheapest price, so she chooses to go to a physical store to buy them. But I'm different. I have some unspeakable feelings when I bought it in official website. I think it should be the sense of security when I bought it in official website. My friend needs low price, and I need quality assurance. I can only say that different purchasing needs have different purchasing options, which is not stupid.
