Apple Offers Free AirPods Or Pencil With Mac And iPad: Here's How The Deal Works

Apple rolled out its fourth-generation AirPods earlier this month during the “It’s Glowtime” event. The audio gear

starting at Rs 12,900, also has a special active noise cancellation (ANC) variant, priced at Rs 17,900. But what if we tell you that you can grab the new wearables and the Apple Pencil for free? Yes, we aren’t kidding.

Apple has good news for university students and staff members in India. The Cupertino-based tech giant has recently announced its much-anticipated Unidays offer for Indian customers. This limited-time offer is an amazing opportunity for students as well as staff to buy a range of Apple products, including the MacBook and iPads, at special discounted prices. The tech giant also offers free accessories like the Apple Pencil and AirPods on the purchase of select items.

As part of the ongoing sale, the company also provides buyers with an additional 20 per cent discount on AppleCare+ plans. The offer will be available exclusively through Apple’s Education Store until September 30. It is worth noting that this offer cannot be combined with other promotions, like no-cost EMI or bank cashback offers.

Students and staff who are eligible can purchase the MacBook Air, which is available at a starting price of Rs 89,900, with a free set of AirPods 4. If you are interested in purchasing an iPad, then the iPad Air is priced at Rs 54,900 with a complimentary Apple Pencil.

Apple is also providing exclusive discounts for customers interested in higher-end models. The MacBook Pro starts at Rs 158,900, while the iPad Pro is available for Rs 89,900 during this limited-time promotion. It's important to note that both devices come with options for protection against accidental damage, and buyers can choose either an Apple Pencil or AirPods, depending on the model.

The company is also offering a special Apple Music Student Plan deal, which consists of free access to Apple TV+.

To get the Apple Unidays discounts or free AirPods 4 and Apple Pencil, students and staff must have a valid university or educational institute ID. They will have to verify their status through Unidays, a third-party service that confirms the user’s eligibility. Once verified, customers will be directed to the Unidays website to complete their purchase.

This move is a comprehensive package designed to provide students with the tools they need for enhanced educational experiences.
