Apple's Back to School Promo Launching This Week? To include iPhone?

A couple of reports have indicated that Apple may be launching their Back to School promotion as soon as this Tuesday. Apple's Back to School promotion is traditionally offered throughout the summer and has offered students and faculty free or discounted iPods when purchasing a new Mac. Last year's promotion kicked off on June 3rd.

According to one unconfirmed report, Apple will again be offering a free 8GB iPod Nano or 8GB iPod Touch to eligible customers who purchase a qualifying Mac. In addition, however, Apple is said to be extending the offer to the 8GB iPhone as well. These iPhone customers, however, are still obligated to also sign up for the 2 year contract with AT&T, though would get the handset itself for free.

Europe has traditionally had the back to school offer in the autumn.

Advantage is that new iPods could be included. Disadvantage is that the rebate, at least last year, was not as substantive as in the States.

Clearing inventory or not, this makes sense. The margins on the iPhone are higher than on the Touch, and because of the contracts, they're less likely to be re-sold.

If Apple really have the same pricing policy around the world how come Europe doesn't get the same discount? They still cost the same to manufacture, dont they? In China that is... :rolleyes:
