It’s that time of year again! Summer is here, but it’s also the time for parents/kids to shop schools supplies and other necessities to prepare for the incoming school year. Lucky for them, Apple has commenced its annual Back-to-School sale today.
Apple’s annual sale has evolved over the past few decades. Back around the mid-2000s, you could get a free iPod when purchasing a Mac. Over the past several recent years, Apple offered free Apple Gift Cards when purchasing eligible Mac/iPad, so you could use those to redeem for other accessories of your choice. But for this year, Apple made a huge change that I think customers will appreciate. For this year’s sale, customers who purchase an eligible Mac/iPad could get some essentials completely free. However, some accessories under this promotion will incur an additional fee on top of the eligible device’s purchase.
Here’s the entire breakdown of all the products and essential accessories that are under this promotion.
