“Apple has started a new limited time in-store promotion that offers customers $50 off an Apple Watch Sport or Apple Watch with the purchase of any new iPhone, including the latest iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, the company confirmed to MacRumors,” Joe Rossignol reports for MacRumors.
Rossignol reports, “Apple Watch Edition and Apple Watch Hermès models are ineligible for the discount.”
“Apple confirmed that the promotion runs from October 30 through November 15, 2015,” Rossignol reports, “and is not available online.”

MacDailyNews Take: Such deals are few and far between, so if you’re near one of the (few) participating Apple Retail Stores, now’s the time to pick up your new iPhone and Apple Watch!
If only I could afford an Apple Watch Edition, the $50 wouldn’t mean all that much.
Apple is clearly afraid that $50 discount will cut into its profit margins on the $10,000 Apple Watch Edition.
It does seem entirely silly on Apple’s part. A 0.5% discount is too much for a $10,000 watch?
Now, if Apple had decided to instead take off $100 for the Edition and Hermes… Wow! A 1% discount! (o_0)
The price point was and is too high! It’s too much money to put on a kids wrist. It’s just one more thing somebody will kill or hurt another to have.
Point! No one gives a rat’s about the cheap but faithful Timex in my pocket.
