Have an Apple Watch? Love sports and your country? Apple has a surprise for those heading to Brazil for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.
According to GQ, Cupertino will sell some pretty sweet-looking national pride Apple Watch bands when the games start this August. The only catch: you'll have to go to Brazil to get one.
Apple will reportedly offer the bands, which were inspired by the national flags of 14 major countries participating in the games, in exactly one location — its retail store at VillageMall in Barra da Tijuca. The bands will set you back $49 each, which isn't exactly cheap, but as GQ notes, "the limited-edition nylon straps are sure to become collector's items."
The lineup includes bands for the US, Great Britain, The Netherlands, South Africa, New Zealand, Mexico, Japan, Jamaica, Canada, China, Australia, Germany, France, and, of course, Brazil. Check out the US-themed band on sprinter Trayvon Bromell above, and head to GQ for a look at them all.
T-Mobile this week also gave customers a good reason to head to Rio. It will offer its Simple Choice postpaid customers free unlimited data throughout Brazil during the entire month of August, plus free calls back home to the US, and free texting worldwide. Simple Choice customers don't have to do anything to get these benefits.
T-Mobile will also offer parents, spouses, and siblings of US athletes a free Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and Samsung Gear 360 camera along with free T-Mobile service they can use throughout the Summer Games in Brazil.
