Apple’s 2026 College Student Offer is now live in India. Until August 27, an eligible buyer can purchase a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro with education pricing and choose AirPods 4 or a four-pack of AirTags without increasing the final bundle price. Buyers of an iPad Air or iPad Pro can get an Apple Pencil Pro on the same basis. More expensive AirPods and alternative accessories are available by paying the difference.The offer is open to college students, newly accepted college students, parents buying for an eligible college student, and employees of public or private educational institutions. School students do not qualify simply because they are students, and parents buying for a schoolchild are not covered. Verification is required before purchase.About The AuthorAt heart, I am a storyteller drawn to the watershed moments that bend the technology landscape. I braid narrative with data, humanise statistics, and trace the arc from first spark to world-changing impact. My reportage, features and reviews are witty, sardonic, visual and vivid, using anecdote to illuminate rather than eviscerate.
As a technology journalist with over sixteen years of experience, I have travelled the world and the seven seas, covered every major tech conference worth its lanyard, chronicled the defining breakthroughs of the last decade and a half, and played a pivotal role in launching some of India’s most important technology publishing platforms across web, print and TV.
