Apple’s been an evangelist for education in the past, offering students and schools incentives and promotional deals over the years, and 2013 will be no different. Apple launched its new Back to School promotion, targeting students that are interested in both Mac and mobile-based devices.

Starting today, anyone who purchases a Mac will receive a free $100 App Store gift card. This promotion extends to mobile devices too, with the company offering $50 gift cards to anyone who purchases an iPhone or iPad.

This deal is only available at Apple locations, meaning you’ll have to grab your product from a brick and mortar Apple store or an Authorized Apple Campus store. You can also grab the deal direct from Apple’s website, but don’t expect to see it at third party locations like Best Buy or Staples. S

This offer is only available for college students, student’s who’ve been accepted to college, parents of university students, or a faculty or staff member from any grade level. 

But you’d better hurry if you plan on getting this deal, as the promotion only runs from July 2 to September 6, 2013.

For its penultimate 12 Days of OpenAI announcement, the company revealed a trio of updates to ChatGPT's app integration on Thursday, which should make using the AI in conjunction with other programs on your desktop less of a chore.

OpenAI unveiled ChatGPT's ability to collaborate with select developer-focused macOS apps, specifically VS Code, Xcode, TextEdit, Terminal, and iTerm2, back in November. Rather than needing to copy and paste code into ChatGPT, this feature allows the chatbot to pull specified content from the coding app as you enter your text prompt. ChatGPT, however, cannot generate code directly into the app, as Cursor or GitHub Copilot are able to.
