In honor of Veterans Day, Apple is highlighting apps, stories, audiobooks, health and fitness activities, content in the Apple TV app, and more. The company is also reminding Veterans and active Military that they get discounts on Apple products.
Apple put a banner at the top of its website today with “Here’s to the brave ones” and a link to the discounted Veterans/Military Apple Store. It offers 10% off most products with even immediate family members eligible for the discount.
Apple also published a newsroom post detailing all of the ways it is honoring Veterans:

In honor of veterans throughout the United States, Apple is celebrating veterans’ stories, raising support for their communities, and sharing their legacies with special activations across Apple.com and its products and services.
