Apple on Monday launched its 2017 Back to School promotions for a number of European countries, offering free wireless Beats headphones with the purchase of a Mac or iPad Pro on top of existing educational discounts.
For a limited time in participating regions students, their parents, or educational staff can get a free pair of Beats Solo3, BeatsX, or Powerbeats3 headphones when buying a Mac. The Mac mini — which hasn't been updated since 2014 — is the only Mac that isn't eligible.
People buying a 10.5- or 12.9-inch iPad Pro only get BeatsX headphones for free, but can choose to pay the difference if they want Solo3 or Powerbeats3 instead.
Apple is offering the exact same arrangement in the U.S. and Canada, but debuted promotions in those countries nearly a month ago. As in North America, Apple appears to be intentionally excluding AirPods, presumably because online shipping delays are still running as long as 4 weeks.
The countries launching Back to School today are Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and the U.K.
Back to School deals in the U.S. with no tax collected in 48 states
Apple authorized resellers in the U.S. are also running back to school promotions, including exclusive coupon discounts on every new Mid 2017 Mac at AppleInsider partner Adorama. All you have to do is use the pricing links in this post or in our Price Guide to activate the discount and then enter promo code APINSIDER during checkout. With combined coupon and instant savings, the discounts range from $70 to $200 off MSRP. And since Adorama will not collect sales tax on orders shipped outside NY and NJ, many shoppers outside those states can save another $100+ on the MacBook Pro or iMac of their choosing.
In addition to deals on 2017 Macs, those looking for the absolute lowest price on a MacBook Pro can also take advantage of aggressive discounts of up to $1,200 off Late 2016 MacBook Pros with and without AppleCare.

(%) Step by Step Instructions for these Deals at Adorama
- 1) Make sure you're using a browser with cookies enabled that isn't in private mode.
2) Click on the price link to the desired configuration from this article or the Adorama price links in our Price Guides. You MUST click through our links in the same shopping session that you use our coupon. If you try to save a link for late, the coupon WON'T WORK. Once you click through a price link, you'll see a price that's higher than advertised (we'll fix that in a moment).
3) Add the MacBook to your cart anyway, and when you're done shopping, begin the checkout process.
4) After you enter your shipping information, move to the Payment section during checkout.
5) Look for a link that says "Do you have a gift card or promo code?" next to the gift icon. Click that to bring up a coupon code field.
6) Enter the coupon code APINSIDER in the field and click apply. The discount should appear under "Promo Savings" above the order total.
7) That's it. If you live outside NY & NJ Adorama will also not collect sales tax on your order.
As always, if you have any issues, you can reach out to us at priceguides@gmail.com and we'll try and help.
