These deals offer instant savings on hardware and AppleCare, with a free gift card with a qualifying purchase of a Mac or iPad, but only during certain times of the year. Shoppers should also pay attention to deals from Apple resellers, as many times limited-time specials and coupon savings meet or beat Apple's own prices, and inlcude discounts on AppleCare as well. These deals do not require a student to be enrolled in college, making it an easy way for parents to pick up a device that can be used by the entire family --&nbsp; or even educators looking for learning tools within the classroom. &nbsp; 2024 Apple student discounts The official Apple Store discount is nice, but you can often save more on Macs at Apple resellers. &nbsp; Back-to-school discounts tend to heat up earlier each year, but there are deals available year-round.
