Student Discount For iPad

demon8991 · 26 Mar 2012 at 00:59

My parents want to get the new iPad and my sister is currently at university. Would it be possible for her to use her discount so my parents will get it a bit cheaper?

Will there be any problems with registration? How much discount can you get?

I think it's 15% discount or something along those lines - it was when I bought my MBP. I don't think it's an issue, as long as she buys it and tells Apple that it's hers.

When I was looking it was only a £12 discount on the 16gb wifi, which is about 3%

My gf managed to get student discount on mine. Wasn't a huge amount, but still a saving

You get the biggest saving if she uses the Apple store from the University network. I teach in a school and my education discount is usually slightly lower than those who go via a uni network.

The higher education discount on ipads is tiny, but it's not difficult to get if your sister is a student.

She needs to buy it from the online store when she's on a university computer, or on her laptop with a vpn/ proxy, or I think she can go in store with her student card.
