不經不覺,Apple Watch將於今星期五開始預售。大家有沒有想過,其實蘋果員工會不會也對此有興趣?CEO Tim Cook向員工出通知,正式宣佈員工價為五折。
當然,Tim Cook寫明只准買來自己用,大家有沒有機會找到蘋果員工朋友幫手,小編則不知道了。若買Apple Watch Edition,則有US$550折扣。另外,Tim Cook也有提到大部份用家關心的問題,就是為Apple Watch設計的apps究竟有多少,他稱開放讓程式設計員發佈Apple Watch apps後,已有超過1000個apps上架。
以下是Tim Cook原文:
Team,
The day we’ve all been waiting for is almost here: Apple Watch is ready to ship.
Our retail stores are training for a whole new way to engage customers and help them experience Apple’s most personal product yet. On Friday, in over four hundred stores across four continents, we’ll open our doors to people who want to try on Apple Watch for the first time and start deciding which one is right for them.
Tens of millions of people have seen our keynotes and demonstration videos about the watch, and there’s much more to come. Some of the most innovative developers in the world are working on new experiences designed specifically for Apple Watch. More than one thousand apps were submitted in just four days last week when the App Store started accepting them, and the rate of submissions has only been climbing since then.
I know that many of you have been looking forward to choosing an Apple Watch for yourselves, and we want to make it easy for you. Starting Friday, in countries where the watch is available for pre-order, a special Employee Purchase Plan will offer a 50% discount on any Apple Watch or Apple Watch Sport for your personal use.
As we introduce the watch in more countries, the special pricing for employees will be offered in those countries as well. Discounts will begin at pre-order and last for 90 days after availability. AppleWeb has more details, so I invite you to check it out.
Our products enrich people’s lives like no others, and we think Apple Watch is going to delight our customers in ways people can’t yet imagine. We want you to share in that experience right alongside them.
Congratulations to everyone who has worked so hard for years to help this product reach our customers. And thanks in advance to the thousands of retail employees around the world who will start placing it on people’s wrists starting Friday.
Tim
