Another potential savings tip: If you have a stockpile of points in Chase Ultimate Rewards, Apple gift cards are 10% off. I only noticed today and I don't know how long it'll last, but I just cashed out $150 worth of points for $165 worth of Apple gift cards. Now I just need the sale to start (and for it to include the new iPad Pro).
For these sales has the product also on sale or is it just normally a gift card?
I think the last time I used the education sale was for my iPad and it was just a gift card. But I’m buying an MBA this time around and was curious.

From 2012 and earlier, 5 of the 6 dates were in the first half of June or May.
However, only two of those dates have been in the first half of June in the last ten years.
I'm not making any predictions, but from the data you presented, it seems too soon...
Yeah, but the Apple Canada advert leak was this week, and that may favour an earlier start than later.
Also, one of the dates in the last 10 years was technically 2nd half of June but happened on the 17th, so essentially mid-June for that one.
I'm hopeful for June 10.
I really hope so.
Although, right now my only hang up is if Im gonna grab a 16/256 m3 MBA (not sold in stores for same day), or spend extra for 16/512 since that is sold for same day pick up.
I am currently on my Mac mini that has 256 and have 160 gig left to go. Then also have a double digit NAS lol. Not sure if I should waste the money on extra ssd space honestly since I use iCloud storage.
Might be today! This is what I saw when I just tried to check the education store!

It's not just the edu store, but the online Apple Store in general.
My guess is it’s for the launch of the back to school promotion and maybe a surprise new product or product revision.
Lame. We should publicly shame the person who started the rumor that it starts today. 😂
Shaaaaaaaaame
Shaaaaaaaaame
yup. I know it’s coming and my need is not urgent, so i can wait. I still think it will be soon if the ad is already appearing in Canada. maybe on Tuesday- isn’t that usually New Product Day in stores?
I doubt it will be a few weeks, most likely some day this week.Another few weeks with this 10 year old iPad Air 2...
I really hope its soon, I've been putting off making another revision of my light plot until I get my new MBP with more ram and a larger screen but I really do need to get one in before the end of this month and was using the BTS launch as an excuse and my M1 Pro definitely isn't up to the job anymore it keeps freezing when drafting which is extremely annoying!
I have high hopes for today.
I’m ready to be hurt again though.

I am eagerly awaiting. I have several things to trade in and want a new computer… with a gift card with purchase I’d probably go ahead and buy a new iPad too.
I am still debating about trading in my Mac mini towards the MBA I want but I may just keep it.
I’ll probably just essentially panicked by it as soon as it’s started doing the Apple Card installments lol.
Still nothing..usually do they post it in the morning cause it hasnt happened yet, was hoping I would come here to see its up but its not
