Apple announced their 2009 back-to-school promotion, which gets students and teachers up to $100 off a new Mac plus a sizable rebate off a new iPod if purchased at the same time. Buying an iPod Touch would get you $229 back, while smaller rebates are given for Nanos and Shuffles. There were rumors of an iPhone rebate as well, but nothing along those lines has been announced.
The white MacBook has new specifications starting this week, including modest bumps in processor and memory speed and hard drive size. The price is still $999 in the U.S., although Apple increased the price slightly in the U.K.
News from various sources points to Steve Jobs’ return to Apple happening as planned. He is reported as being in good health and energetic. We may see him return to his normal role as CEO of Apple by the end of June.
