Apple’s Back to University Sale Brings Discounts to iPad Pro As students prepare to head back into class this year, it’s once again time for buying computers and tablets for the school year. Apple is offering some amazing discounts just in time for fall semester, such as $150 off MacBook Airs (with all-day battery life!) and $100 off iPad Pros with styluses – as well as providing several complimentary accessories as well as 20% discounts off AppleCare+ plans!
Apple Education Store offers student, parent, and teacher discounts from June 22-October 2, and Apple recommends checking with your school IT department or IT services immediately if uncertain whether you qualify. Apple states this as the fastest way of becoming verified.
To take advantage of these discounts, visit Apple’s Education Store website and select “Shop for Education.” Submit your eligibility information, then click on “Continue.”
Apple is offering several MacBook and iPad models at discounted rates, as well as offering freebies such as an Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) when purchasing eligible Mac or iPad Air models and Beats headphones with each iMac or MacBook Pro purchase. Students may also claim three months of Apple Music/TV+ at no cost before renewing at a reduced monthly rate of $59 each month.
Apple was one of the first companies to introduce student discounts through special pricing structures on its products, and other manufacturers such as Dell and HP later followed suit with similar offerings for laptops and desktops. Now Amazon and Best Buy retailers are also participating by providing students with special pricing offers at different price points.
If you’re hoping to secure an Apple discount, keep an eye out at both local retailers and online. Target hosts an annual Back to School sale offering significant savings across apparel and Apple gear purchases; Amazon and eBay both provide access to refurbished devices at reduced costs; plus don’t forget the Apple Store where discounts such as $150 off an iPad Air or $100 off a MacBook Air may be available when using an education discount! So what are you waiting for – go shop!
