As prices of all gadgets flying up high recently, it’s great to see that Apple is adding the Apple Watch into the Education pricing that offers quite a significant amount of savings for eligible students and educators. Plus, there’s also a bonus that inclues Apple Gift Cards worth up to RM600 too.
In addition to hardware discounts, Apple is also expanding its education offerings with discounted subscriptions and free iCloud+ storage promotions.
Free Apple Gift Cards with eligible purchases
Students purchasing eligible Mac or iPad models through Apple’s Education Store or Apple Retail Stores will receive an Apple Gift Card worth between RM400 and RM600, depending on the product purchased.
The gift card can be used towards future Apple purchases of anything that we want, including:
- AirPods
- Apple Pencil
- Magic Keyboard
- AppleCare+
- Apple Creator Studio subscription
- Other Apple products and accessories
Apple Watch now available with Education pricing
For the first time, Apple Watch models are now eligible for Education pricing, both online and at Apple Retail Stores, giving students additional savings beyond Macs and iPads.

The offer can be redeemed at Apple Retail Stores.
