What are the modes of payment?
The mode of payment varies depending on where you’re making the purchase. Apple’s official website accepts any payment options, while physical stores like Power Mac Center might accept additional methods.
- Credit cards
- Debit cards (make sure to set the purchase limit above the amount)
- VISA, MasterCard
- GCash AMEX
- Cash
How long before the Apple student discounted product arrives?
Based on the feedback of buyers who used Apple’s Education discount, the delivery took longer than those that are paid under standard prices. Some say it took 4 to 5 weeks, while others only took a few days.
It would really vary based on different factors. The bottom line is, if you need the device in a hurry, it might be better to pay full price or get it at offline authorized resellers. Brick-and-mortar stores will give you the product immediately, so that’s the best option.

How much discount can I get with Apple Education?
There’s no set amount on Apple’s education pricing. But depending on what you’re purchasing, you can get up to 15% off on Apple products.
For example, when my niece bought a MacBook Air M1 over a year ago with an SRP of Php56,990, she only paid around Php48,990 with the student discount included. That’s a massive Php8,000 off the retail price. Unfortunately, last time I checked, the discount has been reduced to Php6,000.
