How can nearly everyone use the education discount?

Go to Apple Education Store. Click Shop, add iPad Pro 12.9 inch for 899. Check out.
Apple doesn't verify education status online for US.

Yup, and I bought one for that price at the end of March. Now, with my magic keyboard it's greatness!

I regret passing on that Apple deal for $ 699. I keep checking and will snap it up next time. May put the savings toward the keyboard.
Not many good Apple deals around. Even B&H Photo doesn’t have really good deals. The doubling of storage on the 2020 model, wipes out the current deals on the 2018 models. $ 699 is the right price point for the 2018, 12.9.
