Need a New Mac, iPad, or Apple Watch? You May Have to Wait

Ordered an iPhone SE in early May with delivery window of May 28 - June 1. It arrived May 19, so they do seem to be picking up speed.

Has anyone here used ID.me, the firm that Apple uses to verify eligibility for a veteranā€™s discount? If so, do you recall what identifying information was required? Or how long it took to get verified? Also, ID.me requires an email address. Does it need to match the email address provided to Apple when placing an order? (I use different email addresses for different purposes, and sometimes I run into a conflict.) Thanks for any info.

Verification happened pretty quickly, I used a different email than my AppleID does, canā€™t remember what else was asked for.

Thanks, Neil.

In case anyone is interested, I was required to provide name, service, grade, and birth date. I selected verification by USAA membership and it took less than 10 seconds. I used one email address for id.me and a different email address for the order from Apple.
