Get yourself kitted out and ready with our Apple back to school guide. We've got all the best deals from Apple products available right now, with the biggest discounts from retailers across the US and the UK.
The latest Apple products can be the ideal asset in the classroom and beyond. Whether you're looking at MacBooks, iPhone, iPads, Apple Pencils or whatever else, a cutting-edge Apple product can be useful for all sorts of educational and creative endeavours.
What's more, the fact that Apple is releasing new products all the time – like the recent MacBook Pro 13-inch (M2, 2022), a blazingly powerful laptop – means that older products tend to see discounts more frequently, and students can snag themselves a bargain. We've put together this guide to all the best deals on the latest Apple product lines, so you can make sure you're fully prepared for the beginning of the new semester.
TOP DEAL RIGHT NOW
Our favourite back to school Apple deal right now comes directly from the tech firm itself, which isn't a common thing, so is worth paying attention to. Apple are right now offering students a gift card worth up to $150 or £120 on a range of purchases from their range of Macs and iPads. This could be a great way to save some cash on an accessory for your new computer or tablet, such as a pair of AirPods, or an Apple Pencil.

- UK readers can get up to £120 off a future Apple product(opens in new tab)
Bear in mind that all Apple deals can and do change. We keep this guide regularly updated, but if you come across a deal that you like the sound of, it's worth jumping on it sooner rather than later, as it may not be there the next time you look. You should also check out our guide to getting Apple student discount and our breakdown of the very best iPad cases out there.
