The summer holiday fun is almost setting once again, and in no time at all, it'll be the start of the 2025 school year. Cramming in the last bits of sunshine and relaxation can be particularly stressful, especially if you've got a list of looming school supplies to shop for. Some of the most pressing items to purchase first are the big-ticket ones, like laptops and tablets.
Some of the most popular laptops and tablets are Apple's own MacBooks and iPads, with a range of tech specs, colourways and education requirements to consider before purchasing. So, whether you're heading back to school or university and you're keen on getting yourself (or your child) one of these coveted products, we've got you covered.
More often than not, you'll be hard-pressed to come across a discount at Apple Direct, but there are plenty of back-to-school bargains to be had on Apple AU's Education site. You can save on MacBooks, iPads, headphones and more with education pricing if you're eligible during Apple's limited-time education savings offer.
If you make a qualifying purchase during the sales period from January 8, 2025, to March 13, 2025, you can score a free pair of AirPods 4 or Apple Pencil or a discount towards AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods Max headphones.
And if you can't save big at the retailer, don't fret — we've rounded up our top picks of the best back-to-school Apple products at other retailers, like Amazon and JB Hi-Fi, that are available now.
