Our Verdict
Though Apple direct purchases are often slightly more expensive than Apple products on Amazon (affiliate link) or other retailers, these holiday offers can sometimes make it worthwhile. That’s especially true if you pay on Apple.com with Apple gift cards purchased on some sort of deal or fuel points offer. You can also get free personalized engraving on some products when you buy directly from Apple.
Just remember that students and teachers can get an Education discount year-round on Apple products. This will not stack with the Black Friday gift card offer. (There are some products like iPhones and Airpods that never get any discount on the EDU site.)
Items can be returned through January 8th, with the current Apple Extended Return Policy.
