You can choose to pay it all upfront or opt for the payment plan. Shipping is free on all models and is also available for in-store pickup. New subscribers also receive one month free of iCloud storage.

Get a Discount on the Microsoft Surface 2 Laptop

If the iPad isn’t an appealing option but you still want touch-screen technology, the Microsoft Surface 2 Laptop (LQL-00001) is also $200 off (bringing the total down to $699).
At checkout, make sure you’re signed in to your account to activate Student Member deals. Like the iPad deal, the Surface 2 can be paid entirely upfront or with a payment plan. Shipping and in-store pickup are also available.

When choosing between the iPad 6 and the Surface 2, consider exactly what you need from your device.
In addition to the touchscreen feature, the Surface also boasts a larger display and longer battery life than the iPad. However, the iPad is lighter for both you and your wallet and comes with Face ID technology which allows you to access Apple Pay.
The iPad also comes with one month free of the iCloud and three free months of Apple Music, whereas the Surface 2 does not have the extra perks. Furthermore, with the money you save on your iPad you could always add a smart keyboard to your order.

Apple offers several student discounts and deals when shopping for a device for college with verification through Unidays. These deals offer instant savings on hardware, with a free gift card of up to $150.

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, with 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 —   or even educators looking for learning tools within the classroom.

As back-to-school shopping heats up, so do the deals. Below is a comprehensive list of offers, many that do not require student status. Wondering which Mac to buy? Check out our comprehensive MacBook buyer's guide for back-to-school.

Apple Student Discount on AppleCare

Students purchasing eligible products can get AppleCare+ at a 20% discount during Apple's 2021 Back To School promotion. This doesn't extend to other devices purchased that are not eligible for back-to-school discounts.

AppleCare+ acts as an extended warranty for devices, so if the device's screen breaks or case is damaged it can be repaired for a small service fee. Otherwise, out-of-warranty repairs can cost hundreds of dollars.

Students who want to take advantage of the 20% discount can only receive the discount during the Back To School promotion period. Even if the device remains eligible for AppleCare+ after the period ends, the discount will no longer be valid.

Education Prices

Outside of Apple's annual Back To School sale, the company offers standard discounts on its hardware. The discount varies from device to device and applies even when upgrades are made before purchase.

Students who subscribe to Apple Music can also receive Apple TV+ for free as a limited offer. These are the single plans of the services and do not extend into a family group.

The student Apple Music pricing and free Apple TV+ last only as long as the Apple ID remains registered as a student account. If Apple ends the promotion, then the Apple student discount will only end once the subscription lapses.
