Apple plans to announce its 2008 back-to-school promotion as early as monday, encouraging students like me to purchase a new Mac through some of the biggest incentives in the company’s history. AppleInsider has learned.
Company senior vice president Ron Johnson talked a few weeks ago to his retail staff about the promo, while specifically saying that this year’s promo would be the biggest “EVER” for Apple.
Until now its unclear what exactly does he mean but we think there is a possibility that the company could include some of its touch-screen handhelds in the promo.
Last year’s we have seen that they have offered teachers and students up to $199 rebate when purchasing a qualifying Mac and either an iPod Video or iPod nano at the same time of the purchase.
*Remember that the last couple of years the Mac mini has never qualified on the back-to-school promo, since its a low cost Mac.*
