Target more than triples its Apple in-store shops

Target Corp. has announced an expanded collaboration with Apple, more than tripling its Apple at Target locations, giving even more guests a one-stop-shop for Apple products and accessories just in time for the holidays. 

Members of Target Circle, the retailer’s free-to-join loyalty program, now have access to a four-month free trial of Apple Fitness+ with no purchase required, the best Fitness+ offer available through a retailer. Target also will have special holiday offers on select Apple Services such as Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, and iCloud+, with some including up to five months free, available through Target Circle.

More Apple at Target shop-in-shops

In February 2021, Target unveiled the first Apple at Target shop-in-shops. Now, the retail chain has more than tripled its Apple at Target footprint to more than 150 locations nationwide, just in time for holiday shopping. Each location features Apple-trained Target Tech Consultants and twice the space dedicated to Apple products, including the newly launched Apple Watch Ultra, Apple Watch Series 8, AirPods Pro (2nd generation), iPad, iPad Pro, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14. A full list of Apple at Target locations is available by visiting Target.com/store-locator and filtering for Apple at Target.

Guests also can shop the entire Apple at Target assortment on Target.com and via the Target app, where they will find product videos and comparisons. Guests can enjoy 5% off all Apple purchases and free shipping on orders of $35 or more when using their Target RedCard — and take advantage of fast and free Order Pickup and Drive Up orders in as soon as two hours with no minimum purchase. 

For extra convenience, guests can use Same-Day Delivery with Shipt to receive orders at their doorstep in as soon as one hour, with no membership fee required. 

Free trials of all Apple Services, including Apple Fitness+, no purchase required

Target is offering members of Target Circle, the retailer’s free-to-join loyalty program, four free months of Apple Fitness+, the award-winning fitness and wellness service. This is the best Fitness+ offer guests will find from any retailer, and it is available year-round through Target Circle. Fitness+ is now available for iPhone users to subscribe to and enjoy, even if they do not have an Apple Watch. This makes Target the best place for existing and new iPhone users to try Fitness+ with no purchase necessary.

In addition to the Apple Fitness+ offer, Target Circle members can enjoy special offers on select Apple Services such as Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, and iCloud+, with some including up to five months free, beginning in November. The holiday offer is available through January 5, 2023. Guests can access the offers and full details in the Target app by going to “My Target” and clicking on the “New Offers: free Apple trials” link within the Target Circle section.
