The main difference between Apple Education Edition and Normal Edition lies in the price and purchase method. The education edition is a special preferential plan for college students and faculty. The price is lower than the ordinary version, and the purchase method is different. When purchasing the education edition, you need to provide relevant documents, such as student ID card and teacher ID card, to prove that the purchaser is a student or a faculty member. There is no such restriction on the regular version, and anyone can buy it. In addition, the education version has some other preferential measures, such as buying other Apple products at lower prices, such as Macs and iPad. However, it should be noted that the hardware configuration and performance of the education version and the ordinary version are the same. Generally speaking, if you are a student or a faculty member, it may be more cost-effective to buy the educational version, but if you are not a student or a faculty member, it is also a good choice to buy the regular version.
