Apple has kicked off its yearly “Back to School” deal in Japan, following earlier launches in places like Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and South Korea. This year, instead of giving away free AirPods or Apple Pencils like in other countries, Japan’s promotion includes Apple Gift Cards when you buy certain Mac or iPad models.
Here’s how it works:
- Buy a MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, or an iMac, and you’ll get a 22,000 yen Apple Gift Card.
- For those interested in iPads, picking up a new iPad Pro or iPad Air will net you a 15,000 yen Apple Gift Card.
The offer runs from January 30 to April 9, specifically for students and educational staff. If you’re a student at a university, college, or vocational school, or if you work as a teacher or staff member at any educational level, you qualify. Just make sure to verify your status through UNiDAYS when you place your order.
This promotion is a great way for students and educators to save on new tech for the upcoming school year, making it easier to get equipped with the latest Apple devices.
