APPLE ON CAMPUS (AOC)
AOC is a method of giving slightly more discounts to students and faculty members of a particular university in partnership with a particular university. The discount amount is slightly higher than the general student discount. In the past, when purchasing with AOC, there were cases where a student’s ID or student ID card was required to actually be a student/teacher of the school, but few cases have been confirmed in the past one to two years. In other words, if you only know the address of the Apple Store website through the school’s intranet, you can almost purchase it. If there is a student who goes to the school nearby, let’s ask him.
On a domestic basis, in the past, some schools affiliated with AOC divided classes and gave more discounts, but it was said that the discount rate was unified around the first half of 2012. However, there is a saying that the discount amount has changed again since around 2013. In 2014, most universities have the same discount rate.
As with ordinary student discounts, Mac products such as MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, iMac, and Mac Pro and iPad are discounted. In the past, accessories that can be purchased together (such as a magic mouse) were also slightly discounted, but now they are not discounted.
The discounted amount is not constant and is somewhat higher than the lowest price in the open market. However, in the case of products immediately after launch, it may be cheaper to buy them with AoC at that time because it is not yet time to lower the price in the open market
How much is the purchase price of Apple products using the Apple Education Discount Store? Of course, those who are exposed to information related to Apple student discounts will be the first thing they are interested in. The list of Apple products that can be purchased at the Apple Education Discount Store and the starting price can be found on the KMUG website. You can check information on the education discount price compared to the consumer price of Apple MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac Pro.
