Millions of Apple fans can cut £100 off gadget prices using little-known shopping trick

YOU could slash a huge sum of money off the price of an iPad or Mac with a savvy savings trick.
It's available on gadgets bought via the Apple Store – and millions will be eligible.
Apple has a separate section on its website for education pricing.
And you can get massive discounts on iPad and Mac models by shopping there.
You don't necessarily even need to be a current student to claim the discounts, which can total over £100 per item.
For instance, simply being a teacher or general staff member will make you eligible.
Apple says the following people are allowed to get the discount: "Available to current and newly accepted higher education students, parents buying for higher education students, and teachers and staff at all levels.
"During checkout, we’ll ask you to verify your eligibility with UNIDAYS or you can verify now."
You can get discounts on the following products:
Then as long as you're verified and buying through the Education Store, you'll get a discounted price in your order total at checkout.
The level of discount depends on the product you're looking for.
For instance, a regular entry-level iPad costs £329 – but only £309 for students.
That's a discount of £20, which isn't enormous but still worth taking.
However if you're buying an iPad Pro, you'll pay just £899 versus the usual £999.
That means you're saving £100.
Here are some Apple iPad prices with their entry-level costs and their discounted education mark-ups:
And here's the same again for Mac computers:
You can find the Apple Education store , which has all of the discounts.
It's an easy trick to cut the price of products, and it works even on higher-spec devices too – not just entry-level models.
The only big downside is that education pricing doesn't apply to the iPhone.
So if you want to save money on the latest iPhone 16, you'll have to try another method.
For instance, the iPhone trade-in scheme lets you shave up to £645 off the price of a new mobile.
Here's the full list for Apple's UK Trade-In iPhone program:
If it turns out that your device isn't eligible for any trade-in credit, Apple will offer to recycle it for free.
Or you can hang on to it and sell it yourself somewhere else.
