Apple offers free Beats headphones in Back to School promotion

Apple has officially unveiled its Back to School promotion for 2017.

The annual student shopping offer, which has previously offered discounts on iPhones and iPads, returns with special deals on MacBooks and iPad Pros.

Eligible students can get a paid of Beats Solo3 headphones, Powerbeats3 or BeatsX for free when they purchase a new Mac or iPad. This is on top of their usual Apple Store education discount, meaning big savings on the typical retail price.

For students who purchase a MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac or Mac Pro, a free pair of Beats Solo3 headphones will be offered. BeatsX headphones are offered with any qualifying purchase of a 10.5-inch or 12.9-inch iPad Pro.

Apple’s Back to School promotion is available to students who are enrolled in college, as well as parents, teachers and faculty staff, although verification is required before purchase.

As of writing, the promotion is only available in the United States and Canada, although Apple has been known to extend the deal in countries like the United Kingdom and France as their respective back to school periods draw closer.

Although you can often find discounted deals on iPads and MacBooks from third party websites, this promotion is the best time to buy from Apple. On top of the standard education discount, which can offer up to $300 off MacBooks, a free pair of Beats Solo3 headphones can save you an additional $300 on your order.
