(View all)They do these during the summer and it's summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
Indeed!
Also, MacRumors should have written their article better and not inferred that summer months are a US-only thing ("Apple holds a similar Back to School promotion in the United States during the summer months") or that 'summer' months are the same months everywhere.
In my experience, it seems common for Americans to have a generally US-centric worldview & insular attitudes. Think global! There's a whole planet out there.
But not the US?
It's not time yet. They do that in August in the US
Yeah, Nobody goes back to school in January in the US. :rolleyes:

I wish I had a MacBook when I was in school. I carried around a chunky Dell 17" laptop that must have been 2" thick. Battery life lasted about 40 minutes on a good day!
Old Man. :D
