Bad time for ordering iPhone Pro Max.
The Apple online shows to me after I verified my military status:

Delivery: Currently unavailable
Pickup: Apple Store Pickup is currently unavailable.

Is Apple trying to collect military information and then gives everyone a shock for not being able to use 10% discount?

Edited 2:
I just called and talked to Apple. This pre-order needs to be done on this Friday. For using 10% military discount, the pre-order has to be done online.
That is normal. Preorder is not possible yet, you are "preparing" your preorder, which saves you seconds in securing day 1 availability of the product when preorder opens 5:00AM PST on Friday.

the prices can frequently be better at/through the exchange and there is no state sales tax charged at the exchange. Not sure about phones though and its nice to have options.

I don't think you have to worry. Apple's been offering military discount for over a decade now. I think the dedicated military/veteran website is relatively new, last few years, but I've been getting military discounts in-store since I bought my first Mac in 2010.

I will add that Apple has been giving military discount for decades. 10% is pretty good for some things that don't often go on sale (it's Apple after all).

I'm not sure if it is store-wide or not, but every Apple Retail Store I've been to will also give you a walk-in military discount with an ID. Although I'm not sure if Veterans and Retirees will have to do the online verification exclusively or not. I can tell you the in-store pickup option does work though.

To get the discount on the iPhones you usually have to buy it outright or through Apple's financing directly. In the past, the discount won't work on your Carrier's monthly payment plan.

It also works on AppleCare and sometimes (not always) beats the educational discounts when you consider taxes. I would recommend checking both out for other non-iPhone products to see what gets you the best deal.

This discount barely covers tax, depending on what state you are in...

Total comes to $322.90 in my state.

I have a feeling you will see this for $299.00 before the holidays on non taxing military sites.

Yeah tbh never actually used my military discount at apple website since can get same item price at theexchange website without the state tax included so get the most savings.
Only few reasons to order from Apple like with items like new iPad Pro miniLED that was only really available through Apple due to limited supplies
Faster shipping usually through Apple
and lastly Apple makes it easy to trade in old device to get new device. Almost traded in my old iPad to Apple but theexchange had such a good deal on the newest iPad Air that you end up paying even less even without trading in old iPad!

not sure which state you're from, but at least here at Fifth Ave Apple store New York, they don't do walk in military discount. I asked for a discount back in April, showed them my CAC, they're like we don't offer discount in store, but I can order it online.

It would be great if the military discount ALSO included tax free from Apple's website.

I thought the same thing but if you check the math, you're only getting 15% off (the price anyone pays for a refurbished unit). It doesn't add the 10 % military discount.

Yes it does

Same iMac I bought is 2100 without military portal. I paid 1900.

Pull up 2 browsers, one regular and one private mode and compare prices. It's 25%
