The image is from Apple.
Apple has introduced a verification process in the US to make sure that customers who want to benefit from its discounted education pricing are actually involved in education. It is not clear when Apple changed its policy, but at some point this month, some users noticed that the education pricing page was updated to say that customers will be checked by Unidays.
New limits on how many items you can buy with an educational discount have been put in place by Apple. Users are limited to one desktop computer, one Mac mini, one laptop, two iPads, and two accessories per year, according to Apple Track. The limit seems to be in place to stop them from acting as an illegal discount broker for their non-education friends.
Matching a similar policy in the UK.
Apple already uses a similar process in the UK. MacRumors notes that Apple's Canada store is yet to be updated to mention Unidays.
Although the change removes a loophole that was previously ridiculously easy to exploit, there's surprisingly little outrage over on the internet, with some pointing out that Apple's first-party discounts are often beaten by third-parties. If you are looking for a good deal on a MacBook, we have a page dedicated to that right here.
