Apple Launches Back to School Promo: Free iPod Touch with Mac Purchase

I submitted the rebate online and it said nothing about sending in the UPC. Are we for sure not going to need them later.

im not sure why some of the recent buyers didnt wait till wwdc just in case there are updates since its not that far off now. maybe not everyone is as careful/patient as me. more power to you i spose

Most just didn't know either that WWDC was about to go on OR that Apple does this back-to-school special

I had to tell 2 family members and friends about both events so they would wait as they were all about to buy Apple computers right before WWDC

Unless you are on here or another Mac forum, it isn't that easy to find out to be honest
 
Also, I purchased a new MacBook Pro and I will still be in my 14 day window if they happen to do an update, but I just can't see them updating the MacBook Pro right now.

Procedures for Submitting Rebates

All rebates are now submitted online through www.apple.com/promo .

You only need to fill in identifying information, your receipt number, "RXXX.......", and the total price of everything on your receipt in dollars and cents.

You get instant confirmation that your check in $XXX.XX will be on its way in 3 to 5 business days, and you'll get a receipt to print.

You no longer need to send in any receipt, UPC's, or play the paper chase.

once again this only seems to hold true for the US and not Canada. Canadians have to submit UPC labels and mail-in the rebate :(
US vs Canadian Apple Stores online say different things...
US - submit online
Canadian - mail-in
I also purchased through a Canadian Apple Store and was told to mail-in the UPC labels, etc.
 
Speaking of new iPod Touch models...

Does anyone have any idea about why we may want to wait? Should college students wait for the new iPod touches? Is technology at a point that Apple can produce 60 or 80 gig iPod touch models and sell them at reasonable prices? With the college discount, we can still get a 32 gig for $200.

We're unlikely to see a different design, so the only updates I can imagine are more storage, better battery, etc. My evidence: the iPhone received only minor tech and cosmetic improvements (along with, of course, the drop in price) - what is in store for the iPod touch?

Wow, you get it in 3 to 5 business days and can submit online? That's great and makes this offer even more tempting. I hate dealing with typical rebates.

I just can't decide if I should get in on this deal or wait for the new MBs. The cost is obviously a big plus for this deal.
 
Will they announce this week if MB will be updated and when they will come out??? WIll they talk about MB at all?
 
whenever it is, i hope apple tells us so we know. If its july 14th then i can wait. it will be a good deal with the back to school deal if that works...if its in September then thats too late.
 
Products Discounted on September 22

I was just browsing my University's discounted store, and I found that iPod Touch's are discounted by 70 when shipped after September 22. The store also has iPod Touch's that will ship in 1-3 business days for full price. It seems that September 20-22 might be the time at which Apple introduces new iPod Touch's.
 
Does anything think that when Apple runs out of iPod touches, if they do, will only offer the iPod nano for the promotion?

There isn't much that can come for the Touch. If Apple was able to release models with more memory, then we would have seen a yet-higher end iPhone for power users. There's no new hardware to be put in - they barely even touched the iPhone. You will not regret a 32gig iPod Touch for $200 - those won't be around for quite some time.

Apple will not announce their new notebooks ahead of time. Don't plan on it. The first time you hear about them, they'll be available.

Apple will not run out of Touches. You don't have to worry about that.
 
I bought a new imac last summer with the same deal. The free ipod deal was not affected by the new imac release. I suspect the same will happen again this July when new MacBooks are released.
 
Will the rebate get here on time?

If I buy everything online will the rebate get to my home within a month? That's the time I have until I leave my current apartment...

Can I submit the rebate right after I purchase the Mac+ipod online or do I have to wait until it ships??
 
you should receive the rebate check within a week...

and you can try to submit the rebate right after you will receive the receipt number... if this will not work just wait couple hours...
