Apple's annual four-day Black Friday through Cyber Monday shopping event is returning on Friday, November 28 through Monday, December 1 in many countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Thailand, and others.

During the shopping event, customers can get an Apple gift card with the purchase of an eligible product at an Apple Store, in the Apple Store app, and on Apple.com. However, the gift card can only be used towards future purchases, and higher immediate discounts on Apple products are frequently available at Amazon and other resellers.

In the United States, Apple is offering gift cards worth up to $250 with the purchase of an eligible iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, HomePod, AirPods, Beats headphones and speakers, Apple Pencil Pro, and select Magic Keyboards for iPads.

As usual, many of Apple's newer products are excluded from the offer, including the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone Air, Apple Watch Ultra 3, iPad Pro with M5 chip, MacBook Pro with M5 chip, and Vision Pro with M5 chip. Refurbished products are ineligible too, and the offer cannot be combined with educational pricing.

Black Friday is one of the few occasions per year when Apple directly offers deals on its products. As we mentioned, though, better deals are often available through resellers like Amazon, so make sure to check out our Black Friday deals tracker.

Apple's all-in-one gift card can be used towards the purchase of products and accessories, subscription-based services like Apple Music and Apple TV, App Store apps, TV show and movie purchases and rentals, iCloud+ storage, and more.

Apple's terms and conditions for the event outline more details.

I have a M2 iPad Air to trade in so I can get the M4 MacBook Air -- that's the only reason I've not already bought one from Amazon. With the $175 gift card, I can then turn around and get the AirPods Pro 3 for $75 (and possibly another $50 gift card?). Without the trade-in, I would shop elsewhere.
 
I've been waiting patiently for a new Apple TV and homepod mini.

Now, I'm not sure if I take the $25 discount on the Apple TV and bite the bullet, or continue to wait it out.
Is there a certain feature you're waiting for? The upgrades from one model to another haven't been that big historically.
 
Can it be used to AppleCare? I was thinking of buying the AirPods Pro 3 and using the gift card to pay for AppleCare on them after.
 
If you were in the market for the base MBP 14" with M4 Pro ($2000), $250 off is not nothing. Same for the MBA 15".

But you can also probably do better on the refurb store.
