Too Soon? Apple Kicks Off Back-to-School Sale. Here’s What You Can Get

Apple’s annual back-to-school sale has returned, but unlike last year, Apple isn’t offering gift cards on iPad and Mac purchases. Instead, it’s offering free accessories worth up to $129 with iPads and up to $199 with Macs.

If the value of the accessory you choose exceeds the limit, you’ll have to cover the difference. All products eligible for the offer are marked with a green graduation hat on Apple’s Education Store. You can also buy them at physical Apple Stores. The offer is valid through Sept. 30 for:

• K-12: Teachers, employees, board members, and PTA or PTO executives currently serving as elected officers in public or private schools; homeschool teachers.

• Higher Education: Faculty, staff, and students or parents of students currently enrolled or accepted into a public or private Higher Education institution in the US.
