US-based tech giant Apple Inc. has introduced its ‘Back to School education’ offer, providing students, parents, and teachers with complimentary accessories upon purchasing eligible Mac and iPad devices. The offer, available from July 16, 2026, to August 27, 2026, allows college students, parents, and educators to select accessories like AirPods, Apple Pencil, or an AirTag alongside their Mac or iPad purchases. Additionally, Apple is extending its year-round education savings on various products, including Mac, iPad, and Apple Watch.
Customers buying a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro can choose between receiving AirPods 4 or an AirTag 4 Pack for free, while those purchasing an iPad Air or iPad Pro will get a complimentary Apple Pencil Pro. Alternative purchase options are also available, such as AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation or AirPods Pro 3 at varying prices. These accessories can be personalized with free engraving when ordered through the Apple Store Online or the Apple Store App.
To qualify for the offer, college students, parents, and educators can verify their eligibility securely through Unidays online or at any Apple Retail Store. In a related development, Apple Inc. has significantly increased its iPhone production in India by approximately 53% in 2025, with around 55 million units assembled compared to 36 million the previous year. This surge in production is attributed to government-supported production-linked incentives, which have helped India offset structural cost disadvantages and enhance its share in Apple’s global iPhone production.
