[–] Richard1864@alien.top [B] 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) Black Friday pricing updates. Happens every year. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] slashdotbin@alien.top [B] 0 points 2 years ago (3 children) Are there any discounts on Black Friday in the Apple Store? I wasn’t aware that something happens. What am I missing. Any good deals in the past years? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Nawnp@alien.top [B] 1 point 2 years ago Up to $200 gift cards with product purchase, and they seem to be advertising the out of date Mac and iPhone models, so current models (those that just released at least) aren't even eligible. I'm basic Apples Black Friday isn't worth mentioning anymore and it's better to go to retailers sales. permalink fedilink source parent [–] lazy-gent-Ed@alien.top [B] 1 point 2 years ago (2 children) Wish I knew about this before I bought my MBA on November 5. Do you think Apple might help me out? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] slashdotbin@alien.top [B] 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Yeah I don’t think you can do much here. You are outside of your 14 day window as well. I would say just enjoy your laptop and forget about this. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] cavahoos@alien.top [B] 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) lol this is terrible advice. Don’t listen to this misinformed guy /u/lazy-gent-Ed Apple is very lax with returns slightly outside the 14 day window. Just go to the Apple Store and explain your situation, they will most likely let you return it If you bought it on November 7th, you fall under apple’s holiday return period which lasts until Jan 8th. So go ahead and return it permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] slashdotbin@alien.top [B] 1 point 2 years ago I did not mean it that way. If you can, of course return it and get a new one. Also, kudos to your reading comprehension, he/she just mentioned November 5. permalink fedilink source parent [–] waaaghboyz@alien.top [B] 1 point 2 years ago This happened to me last year, they said the only thing I could do would be to return then rebuy it to get the gift card permalink fedilink source parent [–] pizza_toast102@alien.top [B] 0 points 2 years ago (4 children) I believe it’s just gift cards for purchases? So not true discounts, although if you’re gonna spend on Apple anyway it’s not much of a difference. No MacBook Pro deals this year though from what I remember permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] DatDominican@alien.top [B] 1 point 2 years ago Don’t know if they do it online but in person usually they can discount the gift card from the price at the time of purchase . However Amazon and Best Buy are both lowering their prices to match the Apple price minus the gift card so buy whatever is most convenient permalink fedilink source parent [–] -6h0st-@alien.top [B] 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) Gift cards on last year stuff. Stuff that doesn’t sell. Stuff that does sell you won’t see a gift card permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] arijitlive@alien.top [B] 1 point 2 years ago And judging by the way tech market progresses in small incremental way, I think 95% people shouldn't give a fuck about latest and greatest. For the vast majority of people M2 macbook, iPhone 14, M2 mac mini, last gen iPad/watch etc. are still good value. You save money, and on top of that you get a gift card. permalink fedilink source parent [–] slashdotbin@alien.top [B] 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) Just checked out the inventory for gift cards. It mostly just last year stuff and some other things. I think people buying M2 Airs or iPad Pro have a good deal here. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Cultural_Doctor_8421@alien.top [B] 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Wdym??

Buy the more expensive one first get the gift card, buy the second one. Got a really cheap Apple Watch like this a few years back :) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LiamJonsano@alien.top [B] 1 point 2 years ago Yep. My GF wants a 2022 iPad, so we'll get an £80 giftcard. Then I'm gonna buy a new phone to upgrade my 8+ eventually 😂 permalink fedilink source parent
