Apple has launched its annual Back to School promotion for 2025, offering a choice of free AirPods, an Apple Pencil Pro, or Mac accessories for qualifying students, faculty, and staff in the U.S. The promotion applies to the purchase of an eligible Mac or iPad and runs from June 17 through September 30, 2025.
This year's offer provides significant value for those heading back to school. Qualified purchasers of a new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, or iMac can choose from a selection of promotional products, including the Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad, AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation, or the AirPods Pro 2. For the first time, a Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad is also an option. The value of the accessory, ranging from $79 to $199, is applied as an instant credit at the time of purchase.
Students and educators purchasing a new iPad Air or iPad Pro can select a free Apple Pencil Pro or a Magic Keyboard designed for their model. Alternatively, they can opt for a pair of AirPods, with the discount value topping out at $129 for those models.
To be eligible, customers must be a K-12 employee, or a student, parent, faculty, or staff member at a higher-education institution. Purchases must be made at a U.S. Apple Store, the online Apple Store for Education, or by phone.
The promotion covers Apple's latest hardware, including the popular M4 MacBook Air, which recently hit an all-time low price on Amazon. While the new M4 Mac mini is not part of the promotion, it just dropped to its lowest price ever on Amazon.
