Apple’s Back to School 2017 promo offers free Beats headphones for students who buy a Mac or iPad Pro

“It might seem like summer has just begun, but Apple is already thinking of the fall,” Michael Simon reports for Macworld. “And nothing says September like a back-to-school promotion.”

“This year, lucky students starting the school year off with a new Mac or iPad can score a pair of shiny new Bluetooth headphones in any color they’d like,” Simon reports. “The promotion is essentially the same as last year’s with one notable exception: The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are excluded.”

Simon reports, “Savings come off at the point of sale and don’t require a mail-in rebate like previous years.”

  1. Just in case you thought buying or receiving “free” Beats 3 series phones or bids from Apple is a good idea, take a look at Amazon. The $200 Powerbeats3 are selling for LESS than the $150 beatsX. (Henry Ford versions – all black).

    Beats Solo3 ear muffs are made of cheap foam covered with “scotch tape thin” vinyl. The vinyl cover will start to slip off every time you use it after a month. Krap

  2. What?!? Apple charging over-the-top dollars for inferior products? Can’t be true!!!

    (And if you believe that, I’ve got some well-priced swampland in Florida to sell you.)
