    No Mac Mini, Mac Studio or Mac Pro in the promotion.
    It’s for the iMac, Laptops and iPads.

    I would go the extra $180 for the APP2.

          Depends on the category. In Macs AOC is about ~4% cheaper than edu store. iPad is less than that.

      • WookieMonster on 18/01/2023 - 09:20

        University of South Australia has its own AOC store, and their website says:

        The goal of the agreement is to provide UniSA students with access to a full range of Apple products at great prices.

    • Loracks on 18/01/2023 - 09:38

      Apparently it will be and if you call up they can add this deal to AOC pricing. They'll need proof though.

      • evasive on 18/01/2023 - 11:02

        Proof of? So call up and they can add AirPods deal to AOC price?

      • DoctorCalculon on 18/01/2023 - 11:32

        Where exactly did you get this information from?

        I called up just now after seeing all the AirPods options greyed out on the UNIMELB AOC (EPP) portal.
        I spoke to two different pre-sales support agents from Apple's Sydney office.

        This promotion is ineligible with AOC portals.

        They won't even consider your proof of student eligibility.

        • evasive on 18/01/2023 - 11:43

          Thanks for clarifying. So impossible to get AirPods unless you go with regular education store. Better to go with AOC and save like an extra $300 on the price

          • UltimateSAVER on 19/01/2023 - 08:48

            @evasive: what are you buying , I wouldn't think the price difference would be that much

        • evasive on 18/01/2023 - 11:44

          Although @Loracks just said he got it done… no idea how.

          Have you actually tried calling? I was told that it's not live yet on customer facing site but they could add it.

          Edit:
          I'll double check the pricing when i get home. I'm hoping i wasn't just finessed by the salesperson.

          • thewongdoctor on 19/01/2023 - 17:47

            @Loracks: Curious: Did it actually work for you?

            • Loracks on 19/01/2023 - 17:56

              @thewongdoctor: I actually don't think it did. She told me one thing but did another.
              I ended up buying the refurb M1 instead as I've already got 'airpods'. Also ran into issues with using Apple credit in store and a salesperson there told me it was only good for apps anyway. Luckily that wasn't true.

              But I also think it's coming to AOC based on two salespeople saying ' yet'

        AOC in this context is Apple On Campus.

        It is a special type of Apple Education Store where eligible people can access (slightly) bigger discounts than ones offered through the regular Apple Education Store.

        My understanding is that for an organisation to offer access to an AOC Education Store to its members, it needs to enter into a separate agreement with Apple, and I suspect this comes at an additonal cost to the organisation.

        University of South Australia and the Australian Education Union are two examples of organisations that offer access to an AOC Education Store to its members.

    • xmagic on 18/01/2023 - 11:35

      For iPads, it seems you will likely save < $5 overall in AOC, sans AirPods, compared to normal edu store. For example, iPad Pro 11 128G w/ Cellular + Keyboard folio costs $1817.99 in AOC vs $1818 in edu store. And you don't get free AirPods in AOC.

      I know the difference won't be huge but not this little haha

  • hashtagbargain on 18/01/2023 - 08:29

    Damn no Mac mini in the offer. Waited 2 months for this. Not sure what to get as a desktop device now.

    • xmagic on 18/01/2023 - 11:37

      M1 Mac mini may see a decrease in price at other retailers. JB had Macs on sale and you can stack gift cards to get another ~9% off. Ought to be cheaper than AOC or edu store.

    • diazepam on 18/01/2023 - 12:09

      If you can, better hold off for just a bit longer. The m2 Mac mini is bound to be around the corner, rumours point to a spring release. I know you can use this argument ad infinitum but given the last one was 2 years ago, surely a new one is on the horizon…

    • crentist on 18/01/2023 - 09:16

      Yea I've been using airpod pros with android for 2 years, they work well. Only downside is you can't see battery life, and you might need an iPhone to change the noise cancel and control settings. You can borrow a friend's iPhone to do this, it only takes 2mins.

      I used other airpods with an iPhone before that, no big difference to switch to android

      • coast666 on 18/01/2023 - 09:48

        thanks, i see, don't use iphone, so it would be awkward to borrow iPhone to adjust settings …,for the noise canncelling, do it come with background electric buzz sound? not sure how i can describe it

        • celery juice on 18/01/2023 - 10:41

          My airpods pro 1st gen does have a bit of a static noise in noise cancelling, but its only really noticeable in quiet environments. Not too sure about the 2nd gen

        • Quarter Pounder on 18/01/2023 - 11:48

          For me, gen 2 pro have no static on anc.

        • crentist on 18/01/2023 - 22:11

          I don't think it does, or I haven't noticed anyway. Much less than crappier NC I've tried, and very close to Bose.
          Anyway the really good thing is the transparency mode, which is very comfortable in quieter areas. And then when it gets noisy, press them to turn on the noise cancelling.

          They're great, and the new gen2 is even better

    • VantageXL on 18/01/2023 - 13:24

      Sometimes you have to fill out the missing points form but I’ve noticed that certain stores will deny the points for no reason and Qantas won’t do anything about it.

      I’ve never had an issue with Apple purchases though and the points always arrive on time.

    Is it actually excellent? Apple AOC pricing is usually quite significantly cheaper than regular education pricing and Airpods through the Apple store are almost always significantly more expensive than through other retailers (e.g. Amazon)

      In theory, this promotion is only available from the Apple higher education store for back-to 'uni' promotion which is not available to primary school and high school students. But, if you just want to be delivered to your home address, or the pick-up store staff is in a very good mood, then it is fine in most cases.

    Interesting. Looks like I cannot redeem from a specific university link (in this case UNSW) - all the airpods options are greyed out.
