Along with today’s news, the retailer is offering a handful of deals to kick off Jet’s partnership with Apple. Full details below.
Walmart has long been an authorized Apple retailer, offering a selection iPhone, iPad and accessories. Late last year we caught wind of Walmart’s plan to roll out MacBook and iMac inventory to retail locations as a part of a broader plan to increase its Apple footprint.
Partnering with Apple on a broader scale with Jet would appear to signal this plan is still moving forward.
To mark its entry into the Apple authorized reseller program, Jet is offering a variety of discounts on MacBooks, Apple Watch Series 3, and iPhone X. If you’re an avid follower of 9to5Toys, however, you know that recent sales have netted stronger discounts on many of these models.
Jet is currently taking up to $200 off various MacBooks, an offer that has been available at Best Buy for sometime. When paired with student discounts, you can do better at Best Buy. The Apple Watch Series 3 models come bundled with a pair of PowerBeats3, delivering $50 off the bundle. If you’re in the market for a new Apple Watch without the added accessory, you can currently do better at Best Buy as well.
