Will the new Models get an Educational discount on release?

[MacAttackKev]

It has been a while since I bought a new Mac, so I'm not sure how Apple does it anymore.
But will there be a separate option to purchase the new Macbook Pros via the educational discount on the release day or will I have to wait until say summer for that? (How it was when I previously bought my air many years ago lol).

Does anyone know how Apple usually role out this option?

Yes I believe you SHOULD be able to purchase with educational discount (I just recently purchased the iPad mini 6 with edu discount, though it was not part of the back to school promotion so I didn’t get AirPods etc.)

Usually the summer back to school programs add an extra bonus on top of the discount prices on the laptop/iPad

The 8-10% educational discount applies immediately after launch.

Back to School is a better deal as Apple offers free AirPods or another promo item. (You can also choose to have the value of the AirPods $159 knocked off the purchase price through a loophole.)

Oh, I see!

Thank you both for clarifying about the extra deal! I'll definitely keep that in mind.

Military 10% discount should also apply. Through ID Me.
