Apple's own store sells iPhone, Mac, iPad, Apple Watch, Vision, AirPods, AirTag, TV and home devices, plus subscriptions such as Apple Music, Apple TV and Apple Arcade.
Its most useful money rule is price protection: when Apple cuts its own price within 14 calendar days of delivery, you can ask for the difference back.
Apple's site also covers its wider service lineup, including Apple One, Apple Books, Apple Fitness+, Apple Podcasts, Apple News+ and the App Store. New hardware on the home page included iPhone 18 Pro, Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4, a MacBook Air with M5, an iPad Air with M4 and AirPods Pro 3. Certified refurbished devices and Apple Trade In are offered too.
Apple's physical stores host the Genius Bar, Today at Apple and Apple Camp, and the Apple Store app lets people shop from a phone. Separate stores serve schools and college students, veterans and military, government workers and businesses. Apple limits sales to end users and can cancel orders that look like they're meant for resale.

Protection limits
Limited-time reductions and special sales events such as Black Friday don't count, and claims stop at 10 units of a product.
Gift receipts
A return made with a gift receipt is paid out as an Apple Gift Card, and Apple Gift Cards themselves can't be returned.
Purchase programs
Apple runs separate stores for K-12 and college education, veterans and military, and government employees; their discount amounts aren't stated.
Shipping limits
The U.S. Apple Store ships only to U.S. addresses, and APO/FPO orders need a forwarding service and can take 6-8 weeks.

If you qualify, start in the education, veterans and military, or government store, since those run apart from the main store.
Paying with Apple Card earns up to 3% Daily Cash on purchases.
Apple Upgrade leasing, provided by Klarna, depends on eligibility and credit approval and isn't offered in U.S. territories.
Apple sells only to end users and may cancel orders it suspects are for resale, so bulk buying for resale isn't an option.

If Apple lowers its regular price within 14 calendar days, a claim within 14 days of the change brings back the difference, though a temporary event price such as Black Friday's won't qualify.
Approved refunds and exchanges are issued within 10 business days.
Many products can also be picked up in an Apple Store, and pickup requires a government-issued photo ID and the order number.

Returns need the product in original condition with all parts, accessories and packaging, within 14 days of the date you receive it. Approved refunds or exchanges are issued within 10 business days.
Where do students and veterans shop at Apple?
Apple runs separate stores for K-12 and college education, veterans and military, and government and state and local employees. Discount amounts for those stores weren't published on the pages checked.
Can an Apple Store order ship outside the U.S.?
Orders from the U.S. Apple Store ship only to U.S. addresses, and shoppers abroad are pointed to their own country's Apple Store. APO/FPO addresses need a third-party forwarding service.
Can Apple Gift Cards be returned?
