Apple has announced its official Black Friday shopping event, which runs from
Black Friday (Friday 29th) through Cyber Monday (December 2nd).
Following the release of Appleâs official guide
<https://9to5mac.com/2019/11/20/apple-2019-holiday-gift-guide/> , Apple is
teasing its Apple Store deals today with a homepage banner, inviting customers
to âsave the dateâ <https://www.apple.com/us/shop/gifts/shopping-event> .
The company will offer up to $200 gift cards with the purchase of eligible
Apple products like iPhones, iPads and Macs. As is usual, third-party sellers
like Amazon <https://amzn.to/33iTQ2L> will almost certainly beat Apple on deal
prices.
The exact details of the offer are yet to be announced. Apple says that gift
card values vary based on products purchased, so be wary of the âup toâ
phrasing. Itâs likely that some of Appleâs newest products will be
ineligible for any gift card at all. Gift card giveaways are Appleâs usual
approach to holiday shopping deals. Rather than discount the price of its
premium devices, it gives away a gift card with the purchase. With a $200
maximum value, users could get Apple AirPods <https://amzn.to/2OIvQAB> âfor
freeâ this Friday through Monday.
The Apple Shopping Event is taking place in many regions around the world, with
up to £160 gift cards in the UK, 200 euros in Europe and CAD$280 in Canada.
Of course, the Apple Store is not known for offering the most competitive Black
Friday deals. The MacBook Air <https://amzn.to/2pP6pFl> is already sold at
$200 discount from list price and the latest 16-inch MacBook Pro
<https://amzn.to/2KQDUON> is already discounted by a hundred dollars at Amazon
before any real Black Friday promotions kick in.
Weâll have to wait and see which products qualify for the full $200 gift card
and which donât. In most cases, you are likely to find better value for money
outside of the Apple Store. For instance, sites like Amazon
<https://amzn.to/33i15YP> and Staples
<https://redirect.viglink.com/?keyøa3aea2c698452463a8bebdf645e9f7&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.staples.com%2Fapple-ipad-7th-generation-10-2-tablet-32gb-wifi-space-gray-mw742ll-a%2Fproduct_24419814&opt=true>
are selling the 10.2-inch iPad for $249 â an $80 reduction over the normal
price where Apple is likely to only give a $30-$50 gift card.
Keep it locked to 9to5Toys <https://9to5toys.com/> who will be tracking all
the best Black Friday Apple deals.
The Echo Dot 3rd Generation is currently £22, -(â¬25-75c). for Black Friday
and is available now.
