Apple's ‘back-to-school' promo is up for the school year 2016. It was launched on June 2 and will give college students big discounts on Apple devices which include iPhone 6s, iPad Pro and selected MacBooks. Buyers can expect big discounts ranging from $20 to $300.
It was said that Apple is holding this big sale as the company's gross revenue has been spiraling down in the last few years. Based on the reports, the number of units sold had dropped by several millions and the latest figures are really worrying the premiere tech company.
In an effort to bring back the public's interest in their products and increase the sales as well, Apple decided to include iPhone and iPad Pro in its "Educational Sale" promo. This is also a strategy for users to upgrade to the latest Apple phone units.
Likewise, Carolina Milanesi, principal analyst at Creative Strategies, said that the inclusion of the two devices in the promo is a clear sign that the company is trying to get back to the revived its declining phone and tablet market.
"Apple enters Back to School 2016 in a very different market dynamic and the promotions reflect that," Milanesi wrote on Tech Opinions.
For college students and educational staff who are interested in the back-to-school sale, the following are the iPhone and iPad Pro units that can be bought at marked down prices:
iPhone Units
1.iPhone 6
2.iPhone 6 Plus
3.iPhone 6S
4.iPhone 6S Plus
iPad Models
1. 9.7-inch iPad Pro
2. 12.9-inch iPad Pro
In addition to the discounts, buyers can also take advantage of the free Beats headphones when they buy selected models of MacBook, iPad Pro and iPhone 6. It must be noted that these offers are only available at Apple Stores.
Finally, as the iPad and iPhone were never included in the back-to-school sale in 2015, this year's promo is remarkable. The great offer will last until Sept. 5 only.
