Apple made its Community+ Program common knowledge this week. Similar to other tech companies like Dell, HP, and Microsoft, Apple has been rewarding the knowledgeable volunteers who frequently contribute to its online support community.

As spotted via iClarified on Wednesday, Apple launched the Apple Community+ Program webpage, which details a program that annually invites a small number of forum members to enjoy special rewards. An Apple rep told Ars Technica that while the webpage is new, the program "has been around for a few years." It's likely that since only a small number of people get to participate in the program, there hasn't been much chatter about it before the page's launch.

The Community+ members receive "special perks, white-glove experiences, and more," according to the program's page, but Apple didn't specify what that means, and the company declined to provide Ars Technica with more details about the rewards.
