Apple is giving away special edition flagship Apple Watch straps to Olympians

A few weeks ago we informed you of the launch of a new series of belts that the Cupertino-based company had prepared. A special edition that it could only be found in an Apple Store in Brazil, since despite the fact that Apple is not an official sponsor, it wanted to make a wink of exclusivity with the country by offering 14 nylon straps with the flags of 14 countries.

These straps, which are priced at $ 49, can be purchased at the Apple Store located in the Village shopping center in Rio. According to the German blog iphone-ticker, Apple is giving away two nationwide straps that select all accredited Olympians, something that has not sat very well with the current sponsors of the Olympic Games, since Apple is using the Olympic games to promote both the Apple Watch and its straps, although in a very subtle way

Despite the complaints that the International Olympic Committee has received, this body affirms that the company is at no time claiming or trying to pretend that it is an official sponsor as is Samsung, since it has not used the logo of the rings on the products in question. By the way, the Koreans from Samsung have given a Samsung S7 Edge to all Olympic athletes, a Special Edition S7 Edge with the buttons and the camera frame in the colors of the Olympic rings.

Apparently, according to Reuters, these new special edition straps have been a great success with Apple Watch users since last week they were practically out of stock. Many have been the users who have dedicated themselves to buying various models to resell them on eBay where we can find a wide variety of these straps at prices that exceed $ 49, a price at which we can find them in the only store in the world where they are available.
