Just hopped onto Apple's website, and it looks like educational discounts are no longer 10%, they're closer to 5%. Did Apple just half the discount on educational purchases?

Edu discounts were never a fixed percentage. Each product line has a flat amount knocked off all (or most) models in the line. The MacBook and MacBook Pro still have the same edu price points that I remember, so I'm guessing you're just looking at a different product line — perhaps the recently refreshed iMacs, where the discount works out to around 7%

Oh. Maybe I was just lucky and I always got around 10% on purchases. Go figure.

That’s odd. Over here, the edu discount only applies to certain products, but it’s always 10 per cent, for all products.
