Will Apple offer Black Friday discounts?

As in previous years, Apple won’t be directly discounting its own products for Black Friday 2023. Instead, the company will be dishing out free Apple gift cards with the purchase of select devices and accessories. That ranges from $50 with the purchase of a HomePod, Apple Pencil or Apple Watch to $200 with select Mac models. Its gift card promo starts on Nov. 24 and runs through Nov. 27. Though it’s effectively a discount on your next purchase at Apple, if it’s immediate dollar discounts you’re after, it’s best to shop elsewhere. 

Where can I find the best Black Friday Apple deals? 

Though Apple might not be the go-to place for deals, plenty of third-party retailers also stock Apple gear and are out to tempt buyers with steep discounts during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. There are already several Amazon Black Friday deals on Apple devices like iPads and Apple Watches, plus we know Walmart’s Black Friday sale has a $69 AirPods deal that is sure to be popular. Best Buy, Target, B&H Photo and many more stores are also be cutting Apple prices to entice shoppers into their seasonal sales.
