Apple offers student discounts on both Macs and iPads to eligible college students, as well as parents buying for college students. Apple doesn’t extend its student discounts to other retailers, so you won’t find the same deal at Best Buy.
However, Best Buy does offer other discounts that might save you money on a new Apple device.
