Apple’s Back to School promo now available in Europe, Middle East, and Asia

After launching its annual Back to School promo for the US in June, Apple has made the special deals available in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Depending on where you live, you’ll be eligible for up to a €150 (£130) gift card or a free pair of AirPods.

In recent years, Apple has moved away from including a free pair of AirPods in the US for Mac and iPad education purchases to include a gift card.

That’s the case for Europe and the UK this time around. But countries in the Middle East and Asia are still getting free AirPods for this year’s Back to School promotion (or Apple Pencil with iPad).

The values range a bit but in Europe it’s up to €150, in the UK up to £130, and in countries where Apple is offering free AirPods some of them include up to AirPods Pro for free.

As is tradition, the free gift card or AirPods come in addition to the existing discounted education pricing and 20% off AppleCare+.

• MacBook Air
