It may only be the first of July, but Apple has decided that now is as good a time as any to begin preparing students to go back to school.

Apple today kicked off its annual Back to School promotion that offers a gift guard to students that buy a Mac, iPhone or iPad. Customers that pick up a MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac or Mac Pro will receive a $100 Apple Store Gift Card. Meanwhile, students that pick up an iPad Air, iPad with Retina Display, iPad mini with Retina Display, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c or iPhone 4s will receive a $50 gift card.

In addition to receiving these gift cards, students are eligible to receive discounted pricing on select devices. Discounts of up to $200 are available on Mac hardware, while iPad devices are eligible for up to $30 in savings.

Apple’s Back to School promotion is available online, in stores and over the phone and runs from July 1 to September 9. As with previous Back to School offers, this year’s promo looks like a nice way for students to outfit their new Mac, iPad or iPhone with headphones, a cover or apps.
