9to5Mac reports that Apple is likely to launch its annual “Back to School” promotion in the United States and other countries this week. The program offers iTunes Store/App Store gift cards to students who purchase a Mac or iPad, and will also include iPhone purchases this year. » Apple Set To Launch Annual “Back to School” Promotion

Every year Apple gives away a little present to everyone buying a Mac or iPad. This year Apple will give a $100 cheque when buying a Mac and a $50 cheque for buying an iPad. The interesting news however is the fact that this “Back to School” program ends on September 21. That date happens to be the same date as the rumored ‘iPhone 5’ launch. Can’t be a coincidence. Right?
