Yes, it’s that time of year again; Black Friday, which – being the day after Black Friday – falls this year on November 29. It’s an occasion that consistently proves itself a major shopping extravaganza, with brands and retailers across the nation offering some of the most alluring discounts you’ll see from them all year. And as you might imagine, Apple will be well represented among those deals. So, which are the ones you should care about?
APPLE ITSELF HAS SOME OFFERS… BUT NOT NECESSARILY THE FINEST ONES
Before we go any further, there’s some both good news and bad news on the deals front. As an Apple fan, your first port of call for Black Friday savings is likely to be the Cupertino firm’s official store – and sure enough, the company has said an “Apple Store Gift Card” will be available of up to $200 on selected products over the four days of its “shopping event”, lasting from Friday until Cyber Monday.
Now, that might be exciting enough for you, meaning you don’t even feel much need to look to the Targets and Amazons of this world for your discounting fix. However, at the time of this article being written, it wasn’t yet known what the full terms of Apple’s offer for this season’s “shopping event” were. Plus, it’s almost certain that not every product will be eligible for a full $200 gift card.
Looking back to last year, for instance, most Macs could be had with the entire $200 card. However, ‘only’ a $50 gift card came with the previous-generation iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch models, as well as HomePod and Beats. Purchasers of an Apple TV, meanwhile, received a $25 gift card with their device.
