AirPods are cool. Free AirPods are even cooler.
Offering free AirPods valued at A$249, alongside special pricing of up to A$320 off the Recommended Retail Pricing and more. And in addition, 20% off AppleCare+, Apple Music student discount, and more. Special pricing applies to all eligible products, which vary depending on the model. Apple is on the verge of once again launching its annual Back to School promotion for 2020, but this year it looks like the company is offering a new twist in the form of free AirPods. Now, the iPhone 11 is available on the Apple Store at a price of Rs 54,900 without free AirPods and that means the iPhone 11 at Rs 47,999 on Amazon India website is a better option for consumers. Unlike the iPhone 11 on the Apple Store, the iPhone 11 sold on Amazon still comes with a charger in the box, along with a pair of EarPods. Get FREE, instant access to student discount. Join us today, and start saving with big retailers like ASOS, Surfstitch, THE ICONIC, Glue, Urban Outfitters and LOADS more.
Apple's AirPods promo is running from July 9 through to October 29. There's also an additional deal that lets students try Apple Music for free. And then the price drops from £9.99 to £4.99.
Apple is giving away a free pair of AirPods for students and teachers who buy a Mac or iPad. That's along with the education discount that Apple normally gives educators. To be clear, Apple is giving away the regular AirPods ($159) as opposed to the noise-canceling AirPods Pro ($249).
Still, getting a MacBook Air for $899 — down from the regular price of $999 — plus a free pair of AirPods is a pretty damn good deal.

The second-gen AirPods released early last year are excellent wireless earbuds that are pretty close to must-haves for any iPhone owner. They work seamlessly with iOS, requiring very little in the way of setup or troubleshooting. A lack of noise reduction can be a problem on a busy subway platform or in a noisy office (or student union in the case of this promotion's target audience), but our current pandemic predicament means you'll probably be at home more than usual anyway.
Regardless, if you were planning on getting an iPad or a Mac for school, now is probably the time to do it — especially since Apple said this limited-time offer 'may end at any time.'
