Apple’s Back to School promotion is back, offering eligible students, educators, and parents the chance to receive free accessories worth up to $199 when purchasing select Mac and iPad models. This year, the promotion runs until September 30 and provides a variety of popular Apple accessories to choose from.
For MacBook buyers, the accessories range from AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation to Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, valued at up to $199. iPad buyers can select from accessories like Apple Pencil Pro, AirPods 4, and premium keyboard options, with values ranging from $119 to $210. iMac purchasers can choose between AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation or AirPods Pro 2, valued up to $179.
In addition to the free accessories, there is also a 10% educational discount available on select products. The promotion is valid until September 30, 2025, and more details can be found on Apple’s education store.
As part of the promotion, Apple has also provided a customizable presentation called “The Parent Presentation” to help students convince their parents of the need for a Mac in school. The presentation contains 81 slides and can be customized in PowerPoint, Keynote, or Google Slides formats. It includes both humorous and genuine reasons why a Mac is essential for back-to-school use.
While the presentation offers comical ways to persuade parents, it also highlights practical benefits like the portability of the MacBook Air. A YouTube video demonstrating the best way to use the presentation was shared by comedian Martin Herlihy, although it has since been set to private.
Overall, Apple’s Back to School promotion offers a great opportunity for students, educators, and parents to upgrade their devices and accessories while taking advantage of special discounts and freebies.
