Apple Black Friday 2020: Our Top Picks

Just a tip for Target - do each $100 gift card as a separate purchase. I did 4 different transactions for a total of $400 in Apple gift cards. I received 4 $20 gift cards for target in my account two days later. If you do any higher amount on the Apple gift card, you are limited to $20. So a $500 gift card still only gets you a $20 target card.

When I go to Apple and put that configuration in my bag, they quote me $1,199, which is $50 more. How did you get it for $1149? Do you still see that price?

I don't see your price or the B&H price when I look again at Apple. (this is a screenshot of my invoice)

Pitty that only in US such wild deals are available!
Just think of it, base M1 Air for 752 euros, just, wow! Taxes and warranty length regardless.
*sigh*

when you are ready to do major shopping just fly here for this time of year, order all this crap to your airbnb and fly back. I know Brazilian people were doing it when the currencies were good on their end.

B&H might be out of MacBook Airs but either way they apparently do not allow their servers to work on the Sabbath and are not letting me order anything.

Mayor De Blasio found out business was going well so he put a stop to that. No business is to survive while he's around. Tricky tricky online sales. Trying to cheat NYC out of their mission.

I ordered 4 gift cards from target and received all 4 emails with the Apple gift card but haven’t received any of the $20 Target cards.

Will you post an update when you do get the Target gift cards? I bought two $100 Apple gift cards and didn’t get the codes until 4 hours later. I still haven’t gotten the Target cards emails. So I’m still waiting like you.

This has nothing to do with politics and is religious observation by their owners.

From their site: "Thank you for your patience while we observe Shabbat. You may still add items to your cart or wish list to check out later."

Just got 2 of the target cards. But I did order two first and two later...

Mai I guess they’re coming.

Going to use the target cards to get an Apple Pencil when I get a new iPad.

That’s what I am wondering... if I know I’ll buy Apple hardware in the next year and also shop at target/best buy, wouldn’t it make sense to buy at least one of these gift cards?

It’s funny because there isn’t a limit at target (Best Buy has small print saying one per customer) and if I’m buying an iPad Pro this spring anyway, I should buy 10 or more gift cards and get the iPad for 20% off once I buy a pencil, case, keyboard or whatever at target. (I may get the keyboard but I’m for sure doing the pencil).

...but I also don’t like the idea of dropping $1000 on gift cards - essentially giving Apple a loan for 5 or 6 months. When I don’t even KNOW the pro is coming in the spring. But it is coming... cause I just bought a bunch of Apple gift cards so now it has to 😅

I’ll sit tight with these now and maybe another deal will pop up in a few months allowing me to get a few more to spread the cost out.

I considered buying a new iPad Air. It is 0$ off. Black Friday is another big disappointment of 2020.

Lol! I bought a 4th gen base 12.9” iPad Pro from Apple for reading books. It’s a great book reader in the portrait mode! Apple also included a $100 gift card. :)

I don’t expect anything, so I’ve never experienced any disappointment. :)

^Omitted saying from the Book of Ecclesiastes.
 
If Microsoft allows ARM Windows to run natively on Apple Silicon, who wants to bet that the Mac will easily out-perform Windows on the SQ2? I think it will be embarrassing for Microsoft since the Surface X costs more than the MacBook Air.

Really too bad that the 20% discount that used to be sometimes available on iTunes gift cards is gone. Made me feel better about buying the movies on iTunes. I noticed that now that it's gone, I do spend less money on iTunes. So, maybe...good for me, not so good for Apple.

Same for me. I would buy a couple hundred in cards around this time and spend them on various things through the year. Oh well...
