Apple offers annual Back to School promotions for students, including deals on iPhones, Macs, and iPads, though the most generous discounts and free accessory offers are typically focused on Macs and iPads rather than iPhones[2][3][6]. For 2025, students buying eligible Macs or iPads can receive a complimentary accessory—such as AirPods or another high-value Apple accessory—alongside their education pricing, which is usually up to 10% off regular retail prices[2][5]. These offers are available from June 17 through September 30, 2025[3][6].
While Apple’s education discounts and Back to School deals are widely advertised for Macs and iPads, direct iPhone contract deals for students are not typically part of Apple’s core student promotions. However, students can still take advantage of:
- Education pricing on Macs, iPads, accessories, and AppleCare+ (usually up to 10% off)[5].
- Free AirPods or an eligible Apple accessory when buying a Mac or iPad (not iPhone) during the Back to School promo period[2][6].
- Low monthly financing options available on Apple.com, including for iPhones, with potential trade-in credits—though these are not exclusive student deals[7].
- Bundled offers for students, such as a special Apple Music Student Plan with free Apple TV+[7].
Eligibility for Apple’s education pricing is broad, covering:
- College and university students
- Parents buying on behalf of their student children
- Faculty, staff, homeschool educators, and PTA members[4][5]
How to get student deals:
- Shop via the Apple Education Store online or in person[7].
- Verify student status through UNiDAYS, Student Beans, or with an official student ID[2][5].
- For contract iPhone deals, check with major mobile carriers, as they may offer their own student discounts or back-to-school promotions.
If you’re looking for iPhone deals specifically for students, consider:
- Contacting your carrier (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, etc.) for current contract or installment promotions for students
- Checking third-party retailers for seasonal discounts or trade-in specials
While Apple’s Back to School promotions do not currently include direct iPhone contract deals for students, leveraging student discounts on other Apple products and checking with carriers for their student-specific offers can help you save on your new iPhone purchase.
