Apple will launch its annual Back to School promotion Tuesday, July 1. It’s unclear what sales will be featured this year, but last year’s promo featured $100 App Store gift cards with Mac purchases, and $50 gift cards with iPad or iPhone purchases made by students.
It’s possible that there could be a special iPad deal given today’s iTunes U announcement, an unusual pre-release announcement of major new software features slated to debut a week from tomorrow.
Updated July 1, 2014: As expected, the Back to School promotion has launched.
Instead of App Store gift cards, the company is offering a $100 Apple Store gift card with eligible Mac purchases, and $50 Apple Store gift cards with eligible iPad or iPhone purchases, in addition to existing educational discounts on Macs and iPads. The deal runs through September 9, 2014.
