How to Get Discounts on Apple Products

Apple is known for producing high-quality products, and its ecosystem’s simplified user interface is a great starting point for people who want the most functionality out of their devices. There’s a reason why the Macbook Air and Macbook Pro are some of the most popular laptops on the market.

Unfortunately, the Apple Store is notorious for never putting discounts on their top sellers, including the Apple Watch and Apple TV. If you’re looking for a way to get your hands on more affordable Apple products, we’re going to show you how over the course of this guide.

Get a Discount on Your iPad Pro with an Apple Credit Card

If you’re looking for Apple electronics for a cheaper price, you can opt to sign up for the Apple credit card. More officially known as the Apple Store Credit Card, you can use this card to get financing on top Apple models with a 0% rate over the course of the first month after you get the card.

You can finance your purchase over the course of 18 months at maximum, and while this may not save you money on your next Macbook Air, it will allow you to pay the price over a longer period of time. Keep in mind that this isn’t the only Apple Credit card that can get you a deal on Apple’s latest models.

Apple has also partnered with Barclaycard to get reward points that can be redeemed for credit on both iTunes and in-store. You may earn a free Apple Music subscription with this card.

Keep in mind that these points can only be exchanged for gift cards, but a few gift cards saved up over the course of a year can save you a significant sum of money on your next purchase.

Get a Deal with a Student Discount

College students are lucky enough to get good deals on Apple products like the Macbook Pro. These discounts are available in person, and it’s one of the few cases in which Apple is ever willing to cut back on its pricing in its own official stores, typically, you’d have to go to other retailers to find deals on Macs or an iPad.

These are some of the best Apple discounts on the market, as college students can save anywhere between $40 and about $300 on a device. These products will also include the customary one-year warranty on quality and workmanship that comes with most iDevices.

Keep in mind that the Apple Store isn’t the only place where you can purchase something like an iPhone with a college student deal. Best Buy typically offers lower prices on an iPad that you intend to use for education, so be sure to compare the discounts offered by Best Buy and the Apple Store.

Get a Discount on Your iPad Air by Finding a Used One

If you don’t mind finding a slightly used Apple Watch or iPad on Craigslist, then you can get a pretty steep deal on these products. Of course, when you buy something used, you always run the risk of it having unmentioned problems that you weren’t expecting to run into.

Thankfully, most of Apple’s offerings are reliable and well-made, and if a seller wants to maintain their reputation, then they likely won’t sell you a defective product. While you probably won’t get a free Mac when shopping for used devices, you can get a better deal than you would in-store.

Get Discounts on the Apple Watch and More When They Go on Sale

While you likely won’t find an Apple Watch or Apple TV on sale in an official Apple retailer, this doesn’t mean that you won’t get deals at authorized retailers. While these deals may be relatively rare, when they do come around, they’ll allow you to save a significant amount of money on your next Mac.

The most well-known time to get Apple’s new gear discounted at authorized retailers is during Black Friday, but you’ll want to be quick since the stock will get scooped up fast. You may also find some follow-up deals on Cyber Monday or on Boxing Day (if you live in Canada), so keep your eyes peeled.

Apple Store Certified Refurbished Products

Another example of one of the rare times when you can get a deal directly from an Apple retailer is when they sell certified iPhones, iPads, and other devices that have gone through the refurbishment process. These products have been inspected by professionals to ensure that they still work, despite being used, and they’re often sourced from Apple’s trade-in deals.

While you may come across some good deals on Macs and other products, the discounts will probably be a little less impressive than if you were to find an iPad Pro on something like Craigslist.
