Apple has brought back its annual Back to School offer in India, giving students, teachers and parents another chance to save on Macs and iPads. The offer comes just days after the company increased the prices of several products, including the latest MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iPad Air and iPad Pro. While those price hikes are now in effect, eligible buyers can still lower the overall cost through Apple's education pricing and also walk away with a free accessory.
The offer is already live and will remain available until August 27.
What's included in Apple's Back to School offer?
The deal is available on selected MacBook and iPad models through Apple's Education Store. Apart from lower prices, buyers can also pick a complimentary accessory. Depending on the device, that could be AirPods 4, an Apple Pencil Pro or a pack of four AirTags. Those who want a different accessory can also pay the difference and upgrade.
MacBook Air M5
The new MacBook Air with the M5 chip starts at Rs. 1,37,900 under Apple's student pricing.
Buyers can choose between a free pair of AirPods 4 or a four pack of AirTags. If you would rather get AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation, Apple is offering them for an extra Rs. 5,000. The AirPods Pro 3 can also be picked by paying Rs. 13,000.
MacBook Pro lineup
The same offer extends to the MacBook Pro range. The M5 model starts at Rs. 2,27,900, while the versions powered by the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips are available from Rs. 2,81,900 and Rs. 4,62,900, respectively.
The free accessory choices remain the same, with the option to upgrade to higher end AirPods by paying the additional amount.
iPad Air and iPad Pro
If you're looking for an iPad instead, the iPad Air with the M4 chip is available from Rs. 83,900, while the iPad Pro starts at Rs. 1,27,900 under Apple's education pricing.
Apple is bundling the Apple Pencil Pro free with eligible purchases. Buyers can also swap it for other accessories at discounted prices, including AirPods 4, AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation, AirPods Pro 3 or a four pack of AirTags.
MacBook Neo joins the offer
Apple has also included the recently launched MacBook Neo in this year's Back to School campaign.

The 256GB model is priced at Rs. 69,900, while the 512GB version with Touch ID costs Rs. 79,900. That's Rs. 10,000 less than their regular retail prices, making the MacBook Neo one of the most affordable ways for eligible students to get into Apple's laptop ecosystem.
The sale runs until August 27, so anyone planning to buy a Mac or iPad for the upcoming academic year has a few weeks to take advantage of the offers.
