Black Friday pricing updates. Happens every year.
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?
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
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
Gift cards on last year stuff. Stuff that doesn’t sell. Stuff that does sell you won’t see a gift card
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.
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.
Wdym?? Are there only specific things you can buy with an Apple gift card? Does it not apply to everything?
You’re thinking about it backwards there are certain items that will give you a gift card if you buy them primarily older stock items
Ahh gotcha
It's good if you're gonna buy two things. 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 :)
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 😂
