Apple Gifts Ideas for Graduation
Pandemic or not, now is typically the time that seniors in colleges and universities across the country complete their long education journey. They might not be able to have a traditional cap-and-gown ceremony at this time, but you can still help them commemorate the occasion with something special.
Here are a few great ideas for the Apple or tech-loving grad in your life.
AirPods: Apple’s AirPods are the best true wireless earbuds out there. For grads that love Apple products already, these good earbuds are a treat and can make a perfect present. They can get a bit pricey but refurbished AirPods are more affordable. Plus, if you are buying them through an Apple Authorized retailer, like The Orchard, those refurbished AirPods come with an Apple Warranty.
MacBook: A MacBook is one of the most versatile tools a grad could have. The MacBook Air is Apple’s affordable line of laptops. Apple currently offers two 13-inch models. The MacBook Pro is Apple’s high-performance laptop; it’s for the demanding user who wants a portable computer that also performs well. Apple Authorized Retailers can offer the same quality MacBooks at a lower price, backed by an Apple Warranty.

Apple TV 4k: The Apple TV 4K is the latest and greatest in TV streaming from Apple. The device offers Siri support and downloadable apps and games, now with ultra-crisp 4K HDR support.

AirTags: Have a future absent-minded professor in the making? Well Apple’s new AirTags will make the perfect graduation gift. AirTags can be attached to pretty much any physical object, including keys, a backpack, a notebook, really anything. Once an AirTag is attached, they’re on your radar in the Find My app.
New iPad: Apple offers an array of iPads for the college or high school grad. The latest release iPad 10.2-inch features support for the first-generation Apple Pencil, comes with iPadOS 14, and adds Scribble; a handwriting-to-text recognition feature that lets you use the Apple Pencil to take notes, sketches, and more. If you’re looking for a smaller-than-average Apple iPad, then the fifth generation of the iPad Mini may be your best bet. The iPad Mini packs the same powerful A12 Bionic processor as the iPhone XS and XR series, and there’s 64GB of storage in the base model. If you want to go in the other direction, a larger screen, there’s the iPad Pro. It features Apple’s new M1 processor chip, smarter camera with Center Stage technology, which can pan and zoom to keep a subject in the center, ideal for voice chats and video conferences.
