A striking development has emerged in artificial intelligence. Watch models like the Apple Watch Series 11 (pictured) are also now available at discounted education rates for the first time. | Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Apple now requires proof of eligibility from US customers who purchase products online at discounted education rates, which also apply to the Apple Watch for the first time.
According to a new pop-up message displayed on Apple's education webstore, Apple is directing students, parents, and teachers to verify their status via Unidays' third-party verification service - a system the Cupertino company has already implemented in other countries, including the UK. Apple Insider reports that the Unidays service is now also being rolled out to Apple customers in Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, Turkey, and Chile.
This advance offers important signals about the future of the sector, and the tech world is watching closely.
