Outside temperatures might be dropping, but Apple deals are heating up at B&H Photo this week with additional exclusive bargains launching — this time on 2019 MacBook Pro and Beats bundles. Apple launched its 2015 Back to School deal today, offering those who purchase a new Mac, under education pricing, a free pair of Beats Solo 2 on-ear headphones. Users will also be able to upgrade.

It’s that time of the year again, the time where you can walk into pretty much any store and they’ll offer you 70-ish pencils for like $4, but it’s also that time of year where tech companies are trying to persuade you to buy tech for school. Apple is certainly one of those tech companies and they certainly throw a pretty strong incentive our way this time around: Free Beats with every Mac. Beats Solo2, to be exact, with complimentary Apple Music for a month. Now, Beats Solo2 may not be the best pair of headphones at $199, but considering that buying a Mac isn’t that cheap anyway, getting something free from Apple is quite seldom.

Now, the promotion is available from now until September 18, but there’s some fine print to read before buying a fully decked-out Mac just because you can get some Beats for free. First of all, you must be involved in some way with the educational field, namely a student, but you can also be a teacher, administrator, employee, or parent of a student for this offer to apply. However, not all Macs are eligible for the promotion either. Assuming that you’re eligible, you must buy a new iMac, Macbook, Macbook Pro, Macbook Air, or Mac Pro for the promotion to apply. Excluded from the lineup is are Mac mini computers or refurbished macs. So, you could go all-out and get a decked-out Mac Pro, provided that you’re somewhere in the educational field.

It’s pretty obvious why Apple wants to push this offer out there. It’s Apple’s attempt at pushing Mac sales, given that PCs have been on a decline recently. Apple has been known to redefine the Status Quo many times over and an expensive incentive is one way of taking over the world with Macs. If you really want those free Beats and you’re feeling like you’re going to buy a Mac soon, keep this deal in the back of your mind as you’re perusing the Back to School deals and maybe you’ll find yourself at an Apple Store, or you can check out their website right here

It might seem like summer has just begun, but Apple is already thinking of the fall. And nothing says September like a back-to-school promotion.

This year, lucky students starting the school year off with a new Mac or iPad can score a pair of shiny new Bluetooth headphones in any color they’d like. The promotion is essentially the same as last year’s with one notable exception: The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are excluded. It breaks down like this:

Apple Mac Pro With Free Beats

  • iMac, Mac Pro, MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air buyers can choose between a free pair of Solo3 wireless headphones ($300), Powerbeats3 Bluetooth earphones ($200), or BeatsX wireless buds ($150).
  • iPad Pro purchasers will receive $150 in savings for the same three models. That means Beats X buds will be free, but you’ll need to pony up an extra $50 to get a pair of Powerbeats3 earphones or $150 for a pair of Solo3 cans.

Savings come off at the point of sale and don’t require a mail-in rebate like previous years. As always, the deal applies to K-12 teachers and administers, higher education faculty and staff, college students, and parents purchasing on behalf on their university-bounds kids. This is the third year Apple has offered Beats headphones instead of gift cards for its back-to-school deal.
