Apple's Back to School Deals Launching Soon in Europe, Asia and the Middle East

[MacRumors]

Apple today plans to launch its annual "Back to School" promotion in the UK and select countries in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Websites in countries where back to school deals will be going live soon are currently down.

Higher education students and educators in eligible countries can get an Apple gift card, AirPods, or Apple Pencil with the purchase of select Macs and iPads.

Gift cards are available in the UK, France, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Poland, Ireland, Austria, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, and Denmark. In the UK, gift cards valued at up to £130 are available with the purchase of an eligible device, and in other European countries, the amount tops out at €150.

AirPods or an Apple Pencil are available for free with a Mac or an iPad purchase in Germany, Hungary, Czechia, Belgium, Türkiye, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, and the United Arab Emirates. Customers who buy a 24-inch iMac, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air can get AirPods 3 with Lightning Case for free, while customers who purchase a Mac mini can get AirPods 2 for free. Upgrades to higher-tier AirPods are available for an additional fee, so those eligible for AirPods 2 can upgrade to AirPods 3 or AirPods Pro, and those eligible for AirPods 3 can upgrade to AirPods Pro. Those who buy an iPad Pro or an iPad Air will get a free second-generation Apple Pencil.

Qualifying devices include the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac mini, as well as the iPad Pro and the iPad Air.

Apple is providing its standard educational discounts, and students are able to get lower prices on Macs and iPads through the EDU store in each country. Students are also eligible for AppleCare+ at a 20 percent discount.

Apple's Back to School promotion requires verification through UNiDAYS in many countries, with full terms and conditions available on the promotional pages for Apple's country-specific websites.

Back to School deals will be available when the EDU stores in each country come up in a few hours and they will last through October 23, 2023.

For a sec I got so pissed and thought to myself "Dammit!! I just ordered my 15-inch MacBook Air through the student section, and you're telling me I could've gotten a free pair of AirPods, too?!" but then I read the last part about having to verify my education.... yeah, I'm good

Chill. Summer break doesn’t even START for another 2,5 weeks here in parts of Germany 😅

If you were able to make the purchase as a student without the verification process, then probably it will be possible to the same with Back to school deals, at least in your country

Looking at this here in the UK, on 12.9" iPad Pro M2 you get... no discount and no Apple Pencil but a £100 gift card. Is this it or will the offer improve?

What's with the capital first letter of EVERY word???
I find it harder to read.

An American thing?
Something that tabloid press invented?

In Europe we have rules for this kind of thing.

Almost as irritating as kids typing on forums using NO capital letters and no punctuation.

/rant.

There is %10 discount on mac's and free airpods gen 3 (or discount for other airpods)
but there is no gifts on ipad's. you have %10 discount as usual but apple pencil is not included or free. so you can buy ipad and get apple pencil for free or buy only ipad with %10 discount. thinking a new ipad will be probably launched on october, it's not a good deal. Mac deal on the other hand, is not bad. (because they give only cable charged airpods 3 for free. if you want with wireless charge version, you have to pay extra.)

In the US, I doubt they are enforcing unidays check.

Hmm, I am in Hong Kong and this is what I see:

The regular iPad does not fall into Back To School promo, that's why you get no Pencil (1) but still get the regular edu pricing.

iPad Air and iPad Pros are in BTS, and here you get the edu discount, "free" Pencil (2), and 20% off AC+.

On the Mac side it is even more complicated because the mini gets less, rest of the Macs get more, and there are 3 tiers of AirPods that you have to pay to get the better ones...

Fun fact: K12 schools in the US run as late as the end of June in some areas, and start as early as late July in other regions. There is only a 3-4 week period during which no US K12 schools are operating, with the exception of summer schools and some year-round experimental sites.
