SAVE UP TO $199: As of June 25, buy an iPad, MacBook, or iMac with education savings from Apple and get a free Apple accessory (up to $199 value).


What's better than getting a new Apple product? Getting an Apple accessory with it for free. If you're in the market for a new iPad, MacBook, or iMac, Apple wants to sweeten the deal by giving you a select item for free with purchase via the online Apple storefront. That means you can buy what you already planned to put back for school this year and get a goodie on the side for absolutely nothing.

As of June 25, buy an iPad, MacBook, or iMac with education savings from Apple and get a free Apple accessory (up to $199 value). This deal applies to purchases made with education savings at the Apple Education Store.

To purchase, you'll need to verify your status as a student or parent of a student. You can also purchase as faculty, staff, or a homeschool teacher at any grade level. You must have a valid student ID to do so, or verify your eligibility through a school portal or other method via Apple.

To get your free item, choose the Apple product you're going to purchase and add it to your cart. You can select a variety of items, including AirPods Pro, AirPods 4, an Apple Pencil Pro, and a Magic Keyboard, depending on which item you buy. Then check out with your selected item in tow and the discount will automatically be applied.

You can choose an item worth up to $199, depending on which Apple product you're purchasing: for example, if you choose an iMac, you get an item up to $199. Certain Macs will net you a $179 item, while iPads will get you a product worth up to $129. You can check full details and eligibility here.

The offer is available through September 30, so you've got plenty of time to choose.

Apple AirTag (4-Pack) $90.49 (List Price $99.00)

Apple 2025 MacBook Air 13-inch Laptop $879.00 (List Price $999.00)
