New Delhi: US-based tech giant Apple Inc. unveiled its ‘Back to School’ education offer on Thursday that provides students, parents, and teachers complimentary accessories with eligible Mac and iPad purchases.

Apple said college students, parents, and all educators who buy an eligible Mac or iPad can choose a complimentary accessory such as AirPods, Apple Pencil, or an AirTag.
This offer is in addition to Apple’s year-round education savings available on Mac, iPad, Apple Watch, and more.
With a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, customers may select AirPods 4 or an AirTag 4 Pack for free. With an iPad Air or iPad Pro, buyers receive an Apple Pencil Pro free of cost.

Ordering Process, Verification Steps, and India’s Rising Share in iPhone Assembly
Eligible accessories can be personalised with free engraving when ordered through Apple Store Online or the Apple Store App.
College students, parents, and all educators can verify eligibility securely with Unidays online or at any Apple Retail Store, the release added.
Apple Inc. increased iPhone production in India by about 53 per cent in 2025, assembling around 55 million units compared with 36 million a year earlier.
Apple produces about 220–230 million iPhones annually worldwide, with India’s share rising rapidly, primarily due to government-supported production-linked incentives. The subsidies have helped offset structural cost disadvantages such as weaker supply chains and logistics challenges compared with China.
