Apple has officially launched Back to School 2022 for students, faculty and staff. This year, we’ve gone from free AirPods to a free $150 gift card on select Mac and iPad purchases.

Apple today announced its longstanding Back to School promotion on its Education landing page with the slogan “Only Apple gives you that extra college boost.”

Apple Back to School Promotion 2022

As we heard earlier this week from Bloomberg, Apple has indeed replaced the tradition of giving away free AirPods/Beats with a $150 gift card.

That provides good flexibility for those who don’t need a pair of AirPods, but it also means the stock is down again from last year’s $159 and the $199 promo credit we saw in 2019.

Apple is also offering a 20% discount on AppleCare as usual for eligible students, faculty, and other employees, as well as a standard $100 educational discount on Macs and $50 on iPad Air and Pro.

Apple is promoting the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and iMac as the best Mac for learning. Even though the new 2022 MacBook Air isn’t available, Apple is reaching out to prevent customers from accidentally buying the 2020 MacBook Air M1 without knowing the new M2 will arrive in July.

While many will want to wait for the new MacBook Air, check out our in-depth comparison to find out everything you need to know about the difference between the MacBook Air, Pro, and other models.

The updated 13-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 chip is now available. But it’s likely to be less popular with students and educators as the M2 MacBook Air has a bigger screen, better battery life, a lighter design and a more affordable price with the same M2 chip as the 13-inch MacBook Pro.

You can find all the fine print at the bottom of Apple’s website, but here’s the gist:

“Education prices are affordable to current and newly admitted students and their parents, as well as faculty, staff and homeschool teachers of all levels.”

“Qualified shoppers receive an Apple Gift Card when they purchase an eligible Mac or iPad at an eligible location. Only one Apple Gift Card per Eligible Mac or iPad per Eligible Buyer. Offer is subject to availability. As long as there are stocks. Qualifying buyers will receive a discount equal to the value of an Apple Gift Card off the price of an eligible Mac or iPad, but will be charged for all items in their cart, including the Apple Gift Card.”
