How much discount can you get?

The discount is not based on a percentage (10%); the Apple Store for educational purchases sets up separate price tags. Students usually get a 15% discount from the Education Store for purchasing Mac computers. MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and Mac mini are the most purchased products in the Store. iPads are also available; however, the discount is not as big as for Mac computers, but still, you can get a decent deal. Other Apple products like the iPhone and Apple watch are also available but without any discount.

Overview

Apple has started a great initiative to increase its market share on electronic devices by providing a special discount to the student. This has resulted in an increase in the popularity and demand for Mac computers all across the globe.

You can also buy a student membership from the Store to get additional benefits for your purchase. But, before making any purchases, you should check all other global stores for the pricing of the products.
