Apple's Student Offer With Free AirPods Returns in These Four Countries

[MacRumors]

Apple's annual "Back to School" or "Back to Uni" promotion has returned this week in Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and South Korea.

From January 8 through March 13, qualifying higher-education students and staff in these countries can receive free AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation with the purchase of any new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, or iMac, or a free Apple Pencil Pro or Apple Pencil (USB-C) with the purchase of any new iPad Pro or iPad Air.

Alternatively, you can receive a discount equivalent to the price of the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation on the AirPods Pro 2 or AirPods Max.

In each country, the offer is available on Apple's online store, in the Apple Store app, and in person at Apple's retail stores. The offer can be combined with Apple's educational discounts on products, and AppleCare+ plans are 20% off for students.

Apple's Back to School promotion typically launches in the U.S. in June each year, often with Apple gift cards instead of free AirPods or Apple Pencils.

Hoping this comes to the US in the summer as well! Getting a pair of AirPods 4 with ANC or an Apple Pencil Pro is better than a $100 gift card imo

For people wondering, this is the standard Back to School promotion for the southern hemisphere plus SK, i.e.: countries with the school year going from January/February through November/December.

Just like most northern hemisphere countries go from August through June/July.

It isn't "back to school" season in Japan.

Regardless we don’t get the accessories promotions like this. That’s my point For returning or entry into higher education promotions.

The title of this article reads like airpods returns are free. A bit confusing

Not sure how it was in the past in these countries. But I see that Mac mini is missing from the list of eligible devices this year in these countries. Mac mini was an eligible device in the US and other countries for Back to School offer in June 2024.
