Graduation season is coming. Whether it’s a high school, college, or trade school graduate, Apple sure has a gift for everyone. These items are useful for those who continue their education, but they can also be useful for those who are starting to work. While there may be new items at WWDC 2022 next month, these are products you can buy right now for your favorite alumnus.

Macbook Air

While rumors of a redesigned MacBook Air to be announced next month continue, the current model is still a beast. This laptop combines the power of an Apple M1 processor with a sleek, slim design, making it perfect for on the go. What I like most about this MacBook is how enjoyable it is to type on. Not to mention that this computer is also fanless and therefore silent. As an entry-level Apple laptop, it’s great for most users. I recommend Michael’s guide to my colleagues if you’re not sure if you need a MacBook Air or a MacBook Pro.

ipad

I usually recommend the iPad Air to students the most. I love the laminated display and Apple Pencil (2nd gen) support. Not only does it look great in fun colors, but it’s also a powerful multi-tasker. However, after several weeks of owning the iPad Air (4th generation) last year, I was very disappointed with its battery life.

A few months later, after trying the iPad (9th generation) for a while, it is easy to recommend to students. It has fantastic value for money and much better battery life for general use. Even with the old design and non-laminated display, it’s still a great note-taking and sketching tool. I use the XIRON Stylus Pen instead of the Apple Pencil (1st generation) and found it works just as well and doesn’t lag.

Beats studio buds

Last summer, the lightweight Beats Studio Buds with high-quality sound appeared. These headphones integrate well with both Apple and Android devices. Like AirPods, Beats Studio Buds support the Apple Find My app and work with Siri. There’s also active noise cancellation (ANC) and a transparency mode. Transparency mode is similar to noise reduction, except that it lets you hear the noises around you.

Needless to say, ANC is a key feature for students and professionals who need to drown out any background noise. With Beats Studio Buds, you get an affordable alternative to AirPods Pro without sacrificing important features.

AirTag

Introduced last year, AirTag is a coin-shaped item tracker that integrates with the Apple ecosystem. It is designed to track your items through the Apple Find My app and is widely used with backpacks, keys, bikes, and even dogs. If you’re really struggling to find an item, you can use precision tracking to pinpoint the exact location of the lost item. Accurate Tracking will even give you step-by-step AirTag instructions. A common accessory used by students these days, it’s almost essential if you’re worried about something being lost or stolen.

Accessories for Apple devices

ZAGG InvisibleShield Glass privacy screen for iPhone. The idea for the privacy screen came from one of my friends. This is great for keeping you private when you’re out and about, as no one can see what you’re doing on your iPhone if it looks over your shoulder. This is ideal for those who travel or are in busy areas such as university campuses or public transport. Tip: Make sure the privacy screen you buy is compatible with the recipient’s iPhone model.

USB-C hub. A USB-C hub is a much-needed accessory for MacBook Air owners. With only two USB-C ports, chances are you might need additional adapters, and a port is the easy way to go. This hub is equipped with an HDMI port, two USB-A ports, an SD card slot and an additional USB-C port. The small size makes it portable and easy to take with you. It’s also easier (and sometimes cheaper) to buy a hub rather than separate adapters.

Apple MagSafe battery. The Apple MagSafe battery works with the iPhone 12 and 13 lines. This is an external battery for your phone that connects to the back via MagSafe. This is useful for charging your phone on those long days when you might not have access to a charger. A firmware update was recently released that makes charging your iPhone on the go faster than ever.
