Apple Posts Black Friday 'One-Day Shopping Event' Teaser

[MacRumors]

Apple has posted a teaser page on their Australian online Apple Store for a "one-day Apple shopping event" on Friday, November 23rd.

The one-day Apple shopping event is Friday, 23 November.

Get ready to give. Shop online or visit your favourite Apple Retail Store.
We'll help you make the most of the day, no matter how you shop.

This Friday represents Black Friday in the United States. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving that marks the start of the Christmas shopping season. Traditionally, retailers offer major sales on that day.

Apple's international online and retail stores also participate in these sales, though Apple's discounts tend to be very modest. Last year's discounts for Apple's core products were as follows (in USD):

iPad 2 - $41 to $61 Off
iPod nano - $11 off
iPod Touch - $21 to $41 off
MacBook Air - $101 off
MacBook Pro - $101 off
iMac - $101 off

For absolute savings, customers will have better luck with 3rd party merchants that tend to offer steeper discounts on Apple products on Black Friday.

That's why it's called a shopping event and not a sale.

Now let me combine this with my student discount and I'll pick up a MBP

[Praetorian®]

It's nice of Apple to offer these sales outside the U.S. too.

[excommie]

iMac? Does that imply that iMac will be available this Friday?

[samcolson4]

You guys in the states obviously have it good with other sales. 10% off a MBP? Sounds pretty good to me.

[pnoyblazed]

mmhm eyeing that macbook air discount...

[BornAgainMac]

I want to see a $179 iPad Mini.

If purchased after Oct 27 - you have until Jan 7th-ish (dont quote me here).

So yes to your question. May need to return and repurchase.

can you stack Student Discount with 3rd party merchants? i know best buy would honor EDU discount, but would it stack with BF sale?

Heck, I'd like to see a $5.00 iPad mini.

[DrJohnnyN]

Sweet.

[azentropy]

I would be shocked to see a discount on the iMac this year. I'll be surprised if they are even shipping by Black Friday.

[iVoid]

Hmm.. if they have discounts on the iMacs, that should mean they'll be orderable before Friday.

[JonnyIreland]

Reeeeeally wish people would read the article before posting -the iMac discount mentioned is given as an example of discounts from 2011.
