Matching its existing policy in the UK.

As well as requiring Unidays, Apple is also placing new limits on how many items you can buy with an educational discount.that users are limited to one desktop computer, one Mac mini, one laptop, two iPads, and two accessories per year.

Given that’s more than any student, teacher, or educational staff member is likely to purchase for themselves in a given year, the limit seems to be in place to stop them from acting as an illicit discount broker for all their non-education friends.Requiring Unidays verification matches a similar process Apple already uses in

Why is this a bad thing?

😅

Zz

What's the regret?

I learn from my mistakes, How do you want to verify that /Apple?

Haven't they always?

Tim

But I’m a student of the world

The trick is on them. I CAN verify I’m a student

Previously in stores, if you said you were a student they’d pretty much just give anyone the promo. Even online you could get to the final page of the purchase where you enter your CC and it never asked for a school email. 🤣

Nothing new. Y'all just late to the party. I'm glad they began verifying military accounts years ago too.

This has always been the case

But I'm still a student in the school of life!

It's a normal one in India 🇮🇳

They always did 🤣

Wasn’t that the case before?
