Apple Offers Free Two-Hour Delivery on Last-Minute Holiday Gifts

If you're still scrambling for holiday gifts, Apple just made things a lot easier. Beginning today, December 22, the company is offering free two-hour delivery on eligible products in most major metropolitan areas. The promotion runs through noon on December 24, giving last-minute shoppers a way to get Apple gear under the tree without stepping foot in a store.

What’s Included in the Free Two-Hour Delivery Offer

The offer is surprisingly broad and covers many of Apple’s most popular products, including:

  • iPhone 17
  • iPad models
  • Apple Watch
  • AirPods
  • Apple TV
  • Mac computers, including the newest M5 MacBook Pro

The only limitation for Mac buyers is availability—your desired configuration must already be in stock at a nearby Apple Store. Custom-built Macs, engraved products, and orders paid via bank transfer or certain financing programs won’t qualify.

How Eligibility Works

Whether you can get free two-hour delivery depends entirely on two factors:

  1. Local Apple Store Inventory — The item must be on hand at a nearby store.
  2. Your Delivery Address — Apple checks your location at checkout to confirm whether two-hour delivery is possible.

Apple also notes that a signature will be required, so someone needs to be available to receive the delivery.

Apple’s Big Holiday Push

This fast-delivery perk is part of Apple’s broader holiday strategy. CEO Tim Cook recently predicted that this holiday season would be the company’s “best ever,” and Apple appears intent on removing every obstacle for last-minute gift buyers.

If you’re still shopping and want to avoid crowded stores or shipping delays, this is one of the easiest ways to secure a gift that’s guaranteed to impress.
