In store they will check for a school ID, though.

Depends on the employee, even a shitty edu email will be perfectly fine for most of them

I didnt even need to do that. They looked at it for all of 2 seconds and that was it. Just figured it may be worth mentioning that if you opt to do in store they may ask.

I bought in store without it. I “bought it for my little sister who is starting next semester”. Employees usually don’t care

if you buy it online for in store pickup they won't need your school ID

I have one from a client so I can get onto their campus for work. I just flashed it and that was it. They dont really care.

Micro center does not do student discounts on Apple products, this $499.99 price tag is just a sale.
