Apple has created an Education Store with teacher discounts so educators can easily purchase hardware for their classrooms and students. It stands apart from Apple Store as it is only accessible to educators or those working within educational institutions – K-12 staff and teachers as well as homeschool teachers (excluding homeschooling parents during lockdowns) can qualify. Higher Education faculty/staff as well as those accepted into university/college programs as well as parents purchasing on behalf of their student are all eligible to take advantage of it.
Earning the Apple store teacher discount is easy: just log in using an Apple ID and check off a box to verify you belong to the group that receives discounted prices for MacBooks and iPads; discounts typically range between 10%-25% depending on product, with more substantial reductions when combined with an Apple Music student plan. Educators may also find discounted products in the education store; however Apple limits how many devices can be purchased annually through this discount program.
Apple has traditionally been less than welcoming towards teachers and students, but their attitude appears to have changed with them now requiring proof that you are either one in order to receive special pricing. You can view the complete list of qualifying products on Apple Education Store page as well as deals from retailers like Slickdeals(opens in new tab).
