Students can get a free pair of AirPods with the purchase of select Mac and iPad models, as well as the opportunity to get 20% off AppleCare+.
Apple rarely, if ever, offers discounts on its products, instead rewarding purchases with free headphones. The company already offers educational pricing on most of its products throughout the year, so the annual Back to SchoolOffer on other incentives. The following devices are eligible for 20% off AppleCare+ and a free pair of AirPods with purchase.
- MacBook Air
- MacBook Pro
- iMac 24″
- Mac Pro
- Mac mini
- iPad Pro
- iPad Air
“Back to School” offer: Upgrade to AirPods Pro possible
The free AirPods are only available once per customer, provided a qualified purchase has been made. Anyone who wants the version with a wireless charging case will have to pay around $40. An upgrade to the AirPods Pro is also possible - this costs $90. New and existing students and teachers can benefit from the educational discount and the promotional offer "while supplies last." The AppleCare+ discount only applies to the purchased product that is part of the "Back to School" promotion. In addition, customers must purchase the AppleCare plan during the promotional period to receive the $20 discount. While the promotion has started in the US and Canada, Apple is expected to launch the offer here in July. (Image: Apple)
