      We’ll find out tomorrow morning.

      AOC is about ~12.5% discount, vs ~8.2% regular Education store.

        Higher “tier 2” discounts. I believe they were introduced in 2021 and intended for Australian Teacher’s Union members.

        Discount is about ~12.5% vs ~8.2% on Education store.

        • g1 on 06/01/2022 - 08:22

          AOC may turn out cheaper than this if reselling the airpods. Depending on the price that the airpods fetch.

              @Vanessa1234: Can you give more info? What is the price and spec for the Air you are looking at?
              You can get the base Air for $1294 and you can add the Pods but you dont get the promo page like on the regular store so the Pods get added to your cart as payable items.

          I think any BTO model will suffer long delivery times nowadays. The issue is whether you want to go without a macbook for possibly months for the sake of saving $219

    • kev98 on 06/01/2022 - 07:47

      Go to apple store and tell them what you want to do, they should just give you the AirPods (provided you are entitled to the education discount)

    • Chookt on 06/01/2022 - 09:32

      Happened to me last year. They were more than happy to refund and sell again so I could get the free iPods. It was all on paper and I held on the the device I originally bought. They said it happens all the time.

      • lammi on 06/01/2022 - 09:38

        Thanks for sharing, could you let us know the process you went through!??!

        and you were able to just hang onto your device?

        Did you have to make an appointment? or just over phone?

        • Chookt on 06/01/2022 - 12:23
          +1

          I called but they said it couldn’t be processed over the phone unless I had purchased it online which I hadn’t. So I had to make an appointment to come in-store. No walk-ins of course as they were only letting x number of people into the store because of COVID.

          When I turned up for my appointment I explained that I had just purchased my iPad but then the education deal was advertised with the free AirPods. I asked if I could still get the free AirPods. They said that they get these requests all the time and that it was no problem provided the purchase was within the last 2 weeks.

          In order to give me the free AirPods they had to process my original purchase as a refund on their system. They then processed a new sale with the AirPods included. I bought my iPad with me but I still kept it. So they basically just processed it on their system and there was no physical swap of my iPad. I just walked away with some free AirPods :)

    • Vdawg on 06/01/2022 - 15:26

      Yo,
      Same thing happened to me I just called them up on +133 622 and asked them about the promotion and my order and they just sent me the AirPods for free.
      Give them a ring and quote your order number :)

    • realist123 on 12/01/2022 - 02:25

      Same boat. I rang them and they applied the deal to my existing order, no need to return and reorder. You get charged for the AirPods and the amount is subtracted from your pending order.

        • jace88 on 07/01/2022 - 09:02

          I assume it's because the iPad mini is still in high demand as it's relatively new… I bought one for my mother and she loved it.

      You are not buying an iPad or Mac to get a discount on AirPods. You are buying an iPad or Mac that happen to come with an AirPods discount.

    • Koulie on 06/01/2022 - 00:07
      +1

      Considering you are paying the difference, I would be inclined to go with the 2nd or 3rd Gen as it will cost you less and they would likely sell quicker (wider audience). Also AirPod Pros 2 likely to release this year causing some people to hold off paying RRP.

    • YLD1 on 06/01/2022 - 08:22

      Upgrade to the AirPods 3

      They’ll see quicker

    • t0087669 on 06/01/2022 - 11:26

      just checked eBay auction result:
      - airpods 2nd: sold about 100-150
      - airpods 3rd: sold about 220

      so if you get airpods 2nd, you can get $100 profit minimum without having to pay any extra,
      for airpods 3rd, you can possibly get $150+ profit but you have to spend the 60 dollars first.

    • jace88 on 07/01/2022 - 09:03

      I'd go 3rd gen AirPods. The other two options (2nd gen and Pro) are both relatively old now and often see pretty significant discounts already.

        Hey, a month ago I was saying to everyone I knew that Apple's laptops were better value compared to Windows laptops. They all thought I was crazy but I was 100% convinced.

        The largest downside to Windows laptops are horrible battery life and build quality, but honestly, I would take those hits for a $2000/$2500 3070 laptop. Also, with a Windows laptop I am able to pretty much use my VR headset anywhere, which is currently unsupported on MacOS (and even Parallels I believe…?).

            I have a genuine need for a new laptop (Eng/CompSci student) and the "all day" battery life + build quality + portability seem perfect for me, but I'm starting to feel like these laptops are tailored towards video editors.

            I just want something powerful that can suit my needs and it just so happens that Apple's offerings are more tailored towards creative professionals and the others are tailored towards 'gamers'.

              @BigRiggs24: advice from a current softie in industry. there's a reason apple MacBooks are the go to devices, especially with greater m1 on the horizon which have sped up dev times and reduce developer frustration in our trials.

              having said that, most engineering courses require windows which doesn't really work that well with m1 so your options are limited

      From my previous experience, you can ask for similar offers in store by showing your student ID. But different store to store, u can ask in less popular stores as they might need this kind of KPI.

      You can try negotiate with JB but they probably won’t move much particularly if you aren’t a perceived student. They have an active 10% promotional discount however for Macs, hwoever line-up more limited.

              otherwise we could easily convert 15% off TCN gift card into apple gift card by purchasing any item and get refunded jbhifi gift card by return the item

              That sounds like too much hassle.

              TCN (and for that matter, Ultimate) gift cards are EFTPOS or Visa gift cards that can only be spent at participating retailers, and some TCN or Ultimate gift cards can be redeemed at JB Hi-Fi. There is currently nothing in JB Hi-Fi's POS system to automatically stop you from using TCN or Ultimate gift cards to pay for Apple gift cards, and in fact, there's currently no policy stating you cannot do that. It is at the staff's discretion whether to allow this, and at least one OzBargainer had plenty of success using TCN gift cards to purchase Apple gift cards at JB Hi-Fi.

              The only limitation JB Hi-Fi places on TCN or Ultimate gift cards is that they cannot be used to purchase JB Hi-Fi gift cards.

              In regards to JB Hi-Fi gift cards, the clause you quoted before states:

              Gift Cards are not redeemable for other Gift Cards.

              However, you left out the definition of Gift Cards in clause 1 of the same gift card terms and conditions:

              JB Hi-Fi Gift Cards (Gift Cards)

              Therefore:

              • You cannot use JB Hi-Fi gift cards to purchase JB Hi-Fi gift cards. The reason someone may want to do this would be to convert 10x $50 JB Hi-Fi gift cards into 1x $500 JB Hi-Fi gift card.

              • You can use JB Hi-Fi gift cards to purchase other gift cards sold at JB Hi-Fi (e.g. Apple gift cards, Nintendo eShop gift cards, Steam gift cards). If staff try to stop you from doing that, it may contravene JB Hi-Fi gift card terms and conditions (and JB Hi-Fi has previously contravened their own gift card terms and conditions…).

              @Rlogarisation: i tried multiple time at multiple stores, all worked, some stores limited 5 gift cards, but it's up to managers decision i believe

    The good thing is mac mini is included this year. A great value if you need a desktop pc equivalent.

    Kid you not - I placed a $5K+ order an hour ago. A noble OzBargainer sacrifice I was willing to take for the team.

    Luckily cancel and reorder is a thing!

      pretty annoying when i first wear it but eventually that's fine, much more better battery but awful fitting

      Smaller size, better sound, better battery and more water resistant.

      Down-side is the fit has changed (more bulky) from the original AirPods, which donned the universally loved EarBud design.

      Yes, https://youtu.be/LcI6F_GPwfE

      No if it doesn’t fit right in your ears and fall out easily

      Probably. Water resistant is nice. Battery is much better too, which is important since it only degrades over time.
