I know apple doesn’t offer discounts on black friday, they just add vouchers, so would it be smart to buy a iphone 15 pro now before they sell out or wait till black friday and get a voucher with? I’m scared they are gonna sell out by then, do they restock them if they sell out are they gone off the apple website forever?

I’ve heard of Apple doing gift cards on select items like MacBooks and iPads, does anyone know how that works and how much balance the gift card is ?

UPDATE: so here are the best deals I've found, I'll be keeping this list updated over black friday:

My iphone is barely hanging on and I'm trying to decide if I should wait for black friday or just upgrade now. I know apple doesn't usually do huge sales but carriers sometimes have decent trade in offers. Last year I think Verizon and ATT had some deals but they required new lines or switching carriers which was annoying. Anyone remember what the actual deals were for existing customers?

I'm looking at either the iphone 15 or 16 depending on price. Don't need the pro models just a regular one that works. Currently have an iphone 12 that I could trade in. Do best buy or walmart ever have better iphone deals than going directly through apple or carriers? Trying to figure out where to watch for the best offers. Really don't want to pay full price if waiting a few weeks will save me a couple hundred bucks.

Hi y’all. To start, I’m not technologically illiterate or anything but I don’t keep up to date on all of the new releases or am a huge apple fan. However, my fiancée is and really wants the new iPhone but never wants to spend money on himself. I’m going to buy him the 16 for Christmas so he can have his new phone and we can finally be on the type c charger together (I have the 15). Should I wait until Black Friday? Reason why I’m posting is I’ve never seen the Black Friday deals Apple offers so I’m not sure if it’s worth it to wait until then. Or if I should just buy it now so I can get the color he wants. Apologies if this isn’t the place for this, if not if someone could direct me where to go that would be very helpful. Thank you :)

I'm thinking of buying a used 64gb ipad mini, and while a 256gb new one would be ideal, its too expensive, so i thought that Black friday is kinda close, but until recently i didnt pay attention to apple, so i dont know if in previous years they even discount their stuff, or are like nintendo and never go below the base price and just offer bundles and stuff

any input is much appreciated!

Went to our local Apple Store here in Colorado and asked about Black Friday Sales or if they are doing gift cards.I was told no on both. Apple Store doesn’t do sales for Black Friday from what I was told by a sales associate. I’ve never shopped Black Friday there before.

Be careful buying from online retailers. Do read reviews before buying from online stores. A lot of scams out there I have read about!

No need for rude comments. Thanks!

Update: Checked out Walmart and other retailers for the best iPhone 17 Pro Max deals and I also found good ones for the other models. You're welcome!

The iPhone 17 Pro Max is probably going to be like 1200-1300 bucks when it drops and I'm trying to figure out if waiting for Black Friday makes any sense. Apple never discounts their newest phones directly but carriers sometimes do trade-in deals or bill credits that might be better during Black Friday. Problem is those deals always come with strings attached like staying on the plan for 3 years or switching carriers which is annoying. Are the Black Friday carrier deals actually better than what they offer year round or is it the same promotional BS with different marketing? I'm on an iPhone 12 Pro that's hanging on but the battery is cooked and I want to upgrade when the 17 comes out.

Do people actually score legitimate deals on the newest iPhone during Black Friday or is it a waste of time and I should just buy it in September? And for the people who do the carrier trade-in promos, do you feel locked in or is it worth it for the savings?

I’d like to get my parents a new AppleTV so they can FaceTime and use it as a Thread hub. Any word on discounts for Black Friday?

I’ve been holding off on upgrading my phone and figured Black Friday might be the best time to get a solid deal on a new iPhone. I’m mainly looking for an unlocked version since I’d rather not get tied to a carrier plan, but I’m open to bundle deals if the savings are worth it. I’m eyeing the iPhone 15 or 15 Pro, depending on the discount. I’ve checked some early ads from Apple, Target, and Best Buy, but it’s hard to tell which ones are actually good deals. Has anyone seen promising iPhone Black Friday offers for this year?

Any leads on where the best deal is for Black Friday on a MacBook Pro? If not, I’m just gonna pull the trigger now!

Also where would you get rid of an IMac computer? I’m looking to upgrade and haven’t found a place that will take it.
