Any idea what Apple asks for you to buy an Apple product with the students discount?

okay, so obviously from the title, i am a college student looking to get money knocked off a new phone bc mine is damn near broken.

my question is: to use said discount, does my carrier have to be one of the big four? i am still on my parents cricket plan and really don’t wanna open my own when i’m about to be going to school.

i just don’t know if i can go in store and maybe select cricket instead?

let me know!!! 💖

Hey there! I'm an illustrator, and I'm currently gearing up for PhD entrance exams after wrapping up my Masters. I freelance in proofreading and graphic design. Back in college, I couldn't really afford even student discounts, but now I've got some savings, and I'm eyeing an iPad in the next couple of months. I've decided to skip getting a Macbook from the Apple Store because retailers seem to have better deals. Plus, iPads come with free pencil, which is a fantastic bonus. I'm planning to take the EMI route to save my savings from taking a big hit.

Now, my buddy's in grad school, and they've got this college ID working great with Unidays. I used their info to check out the offer prices. Here's the thing – it looks like to order from the Apple Store online, you need to create an Apple ID, which neither of us has done yet. So, here are my questions: Can I make an Apple ID in my name, use it to order, and snag the offer using my friend's college details? Does it have to be a relative doing this, or does it work only if both the Apple ID and college ID belong to the same person (or a relative)? College mail ID is no good for creating an Apple ID since it expires when the course is over. So, we're technically talking about using two IDs. Any potential loopholes there?

Suppose I end up purchasing the product using my friend's Apple ID and college ID. How would that affect my ownership of the product? Can I switch over to my own Apple ID once I receive the order, or are there other hiccups down the road?

Dealbreaker question: Can I use my card to make the purchase after the discount with my friends ID right?

The discount I'm getting for the iPad Air 5 is a whopping 20K less than the market's lowest rate, and it comes with a free 2nd Gen Pencil(priced 10K). I'm definitely going for it. Just want to be clear on any other considerations beyond the price tag.

I can't seem to find any definitive answers about the student discount online. I am ordering a MacBook pro for my wife who went back to school at University. I made it all the way to the "Place your order" button and it hasn't asked for the student email address? Am I missing something here? Thanks :-)

Do any of you guys know if we can get discounts on iPhones if we somehow prove we come to UBC?

It's like a loop can anyone suggest me what shall I do

I wanted to get some info about Apple student discount. Like can we verify ourselves at the store or online is the only way ? What are the perks of buying an iPad as a student ? What else do we get ?

Pl help me understand the perks of buying an iPad a a student. Thank you.

I don't know if I'm in the right subreddit because I don't comment a lot in reddit. But i'm just wondering for anyone that bought their Ipad pro's during last years student discount season (because i'm kinda confused right now).

Is Apples Education Store THE discount? Or do I wait till June for something like every article keeps telling me? Because I'm extremely confused on when I should buy. If it helps im Canadian and going to college the following autumn.

I am about to join law school and I am buying a macbook as we all know clg gonna start in july but I wanna have it early to get used to it(first time buying an apple product) so Can I get student discount before getting into uni or I will have to wait till I get college id?🥲 Anyone who knows the process please help!

After being told by a puzzled Apple Store worker that I actually couldn’t get a student discount (she actually offered at first) on the case I wanted to buy, I checked the website with my academic status.

nothing

iPhone cases that were once £36, now £39. Apple Watch straps that were once £45, now £49.

This goes on and on. Why are Apple continuing to nix some of their most customer friendly services?

I wanted to know if there's any student discounts available

My brother is currently in Uni. Could I get him to buy me a Mac Mini (for the discount), and I pay him, or would the Mac be tied to require a student ID or similar for the Apple ID?

Basically I'm asking would it be ok if he bought it for me (and I paid him), to save £100-200? And what happens once he graduates?

(I'm from the United States, so idk if this applies to anywhere else)

So, apple has this thing called an "education store" on their websites where you buy Apple products on a discount if you are a student.

what they don't tell you is that they do not verify if you are a student, they just assume that you are.

for example:

iPad Air on their normal website: 599$

vs

iPad air on their "education store": 549$ (you saved 50 dollars)

Type: "Apple education store" on Google and you'll find it.

Hi I’m looking to buy a macbook pro soon and I’d like to take advantage of the student discount, even though I am not a student

Can I just buy and pay online and then pick up in the store? Will they verify any student document?

Any tips on that?

I live in Orlando, FL

Does anyone know when the US and Canadian Apple Back to School offers will begin?

I think it began on June 5 in the US and June 23 in Canada last year. When would it start, in your opinion? I'm excited to purchase the iPad and M3 MacBook Air, and I think they come with gift cards right?

Hello. Has anyone here tried ordering apple products online using student discount? I was ordering on behalf of my sister (a student) and I’ve submitted a photo of her study load and ID but it got cancelled. Have you encountered this before?

Hello Apple community, this is a question for people who have friends/family as Apple employees or are Apple employees themself.

Currently with student discount, I see you can get about 10% off and a $150 giftcard with included while buying the new iPad in Canada. Is this the best discount/savings you can get or is the Apple Employee discount better? Can you use both discount offers or just one? Any insight would be greatly appreciated! I have a few friends that work for Apple and wanted to see what was the best course of action for myself. Thanks!
