Purchase limits: how many can you buy?
Apple limits the military and veteran discount to personal use, with no resale, and applies annual quantity caps that reset each calendar year (January 1 to December 31). The caps are widely reported, including by Military.com, as up to three of each major device per year: three Mac computers, three iPads, three unlocked iPhones, and three Apple Watches, plus up to ten accessories.
Apple's public Veterans and Military Store page does not itemize these figures, so treat them as guidance and confirm the current limit during checkout. Buyers must be at least 18 and purchasing for personal use.
