In line with a rumor from yesterday, Apple today launched its annual Back to School promotion offering qualified educational purchasers iTunes Store/App Store/iBookstore gift cards of up to $100 with the purchase of a new Mac, iPad, or iPhone. The program begins today and runs through September 6.
Buy a Mac for college, get a $100 App Store Gift Card - and also save with education pricing. Or buy an iPad or iPhone and get a $50 card.
As in past years, the Mac mini is excluded from the promotion, while all iPad (fourth-generation, iPad 2, and iPad mini) and iPhone (5, 4S, and 4) are eligible. Full requirements for eligibility are outlined in the terms and conditions (PDF).

I'm a 22-yo college student and I wear a watch every day.
How is this shady? First, they give a student discount; second, they are giving $100 in free goods from iTunes/App store.
They don't have to give you anything.
Oprah and the Queen are also very wealthy, perhaps they can each give you $100 towards your new computer..... :rolleyes:
