If you're buying a new Apple product, there's a way to take a bite out of the cost - and students, parents, teachers and school staff can all take advantage of it.
By heading to the Apple Education Store, you can save up to 10% on the cost of Macs and iPads.
This deal is available all year round, but until 21 October, you'll get the added bonus of picking a free product worth up to £179.
Depending on the item you purchase, you can choose one of these products as your freebie:
- AirPods 4
- Apple Pencil Pro
- Magic Mouse
- Magic Trackpad
- Magic Keyboard
If none of these take your fancy, you can also pay a fee to choose an accessory from a wider range of options at a discounted price.
University students, or those about to go to university, can get the discount by visiting the Apple Education Store website or a physical Apple Store and logging into their UNiDAYS discount scheme account.
If you don't have an account, you can set one up with your university email address, or by using documents proving your university place.
Teachers and those who work in education can claim the deal by verifying their UNiDAYS account or by showing proof of where they work to staff in-store.
Parents buying for their student children can use the deal but will need their child to log in to their UNiDAYS account first.
For those wanting to visit a store, MoneySavingExpert says parents can also show their child's student ID or acceptance.
There are just under three million students in the UK, plus their parents, more than 610,000 teachers, and many others that work in education - meaning this offer is automatically available to many millions of Britons.
What if you don't work in education and you're not a student?
MoneySavingExpert goes on: "Provided you know someone who's studying at uni or working at a school, college or uni, you can in theory get the discount if that person's willing to go and buy the goods for you.
"As far as we can see, this isn't a breach of the terms and conditions. Of course, you'll have to decide whether it's morally okay - as this is a scheme designed specifically for people in education."
