If anyone can afford it, it's Apple. I would suggest they keep it to just once a year without fail. I would be an excellent way to continue to increase sales volume, focus even more attention on the brand, and appeal to the ladies that salivate at the sound of the word "Sale"

I am completely confident they could make a move like this without damaging their current and long time marketing strategy. It would offer one more dimension to the Apple legacy. The real key to success would be true discount pricing. Significant reductions to compel people that might not otherwise buy Apple to act.

Does anybody know if Apple discounts refurbished products on Black Friday as well? Not sure my self but want to use the opportunity to get a MacBook Air.

Does anyone know if the iPad Mini will be on sale? I really hope it will. If it isn't do you think an iPad 2 is better? I kinda need to know since I will be buying at least on i-device on black friday!

Icealicy · Nov 19, 2012, 12:55 PM

Can this supposed discount-to-be also be applied with an education discount? Buying directly from the Apple Store online?

krravi · Nov 19, 2012, 12:56 PM

Lousy sales event.

That's why I want Windows 8 and Android to do better.

Competition helps the consumers.

If it ain't half price then it ain't on sale

Antares · Nov 19, 2012, 01:05 PM

Sign me up for that iMac discount. Oh, wait....

G4er? · Nov 19, 2012, 01:36 PM

Something for everyone? Then where's the mid range mid sized desktop mac without a built in screen that so many of us are asking for?

I wish... but not going to happen.

Same every year and is always just as humorous. Something for everyone needs to be changed to:

Stuff the upper hierarchy likes.

Since it is all about margins I dont know why they bother anyway. Still will sell alot on Friday either way to them richers.

Nope. No stacking of discounts.

Historically, refurbs have not been included. (In general, they're resistant to both this and educational discounts.) I doubt they'll be included this year, either--but in any case, a refurb, if it's any consolation, will almost certainly have a better price than new regardless of the discount.

chr1s60 · Nov 19, 2012, 02:42 PM

You mean this Friday I can get some earbuds for $18 instead of $19? I'm in!

Fruit Cake · Nov 19, 2012, 03:07 PM

Will the iPad 4 be on sale?

BOOOOORING!!! There are better mac deals out there right now

skellener · Nov 19, 2012, 05:50 PM

People wait on lines in front of the Apple Store only when they get to pay FULL PRICE!

The promo picture has two full size iPads side by side, I hope but am doubtful they'll offer iPad mini at a discount. If they'll discount the iPad mini to $299 I may bite.

Good time for them to clear out any overstock of iPad 2 they may have, and the previous generation iPod Touch.

VanityBonet · Nov 19, 2012, 09:42 PM

a really real greedy company

HardRain · Nov 19, 2012, 11:03 PM

Apple marketing is sounding dumber and dumber. Everyone does include you, me, him, her...FFS it's everyone! lol.

timcullis · Nov 20, 2012, 02:02 AM

"Featured items" for the UK event are

iPad with retina display
