Eligible students, parents of students, and educators in the United States just got a few extra weeks to claim Apple’s 2026 Back to School deals on select Macs and iPads. Here are the details.
Apple’s 2026 Back to School offer now runs through September 24
As spotted by MacRumors, Apple has updated the promotion period for its 2026 Back to School offer. Originally set to run from July 16 through August 27, the promotion will now end on September 24.
This year, in addition to the standard education discount, which offers reduced pricing on eligible Macs and iPads, eligible students also get an Apple Gift Card worth up to $150 with the purchase of a qualifying Mac or iPad.
Here’s Apple’s official table for the gift card included with each eligible Mac and iPad purchase:
| Product Category | Eligible Products | Promotion Product |
|---|---|---|
| Mac | MacBook Pro | $150 Apple Gift Card |
| Mac | MacBook Air | $100 Apple Gift Card |
| iPad | iPad Air | $100 Apple Gift Card |
| iPad | iPad Pro | $100 Apple Gift Card |
As the College Student Offer 2026 Terms and Conditions explain:
If you are not eligible or are reading this after the promotion has ended, you can still save on Macs and iPads through Apple’s official Amazon store, which often offers discounts larger than Apple’s standard education pricing.
You can also save up to 15% on a wide range of products through Apple’s Certified Refurbished Store.
