Apple to Hold Four Day Shopping Event Starting on Black Friday

[FrostyF]

Inflation rates look at a basket of commodity items. Pretending it has any relevance at all to tech is beyond foolish. Tech drops in price over time.

No offence, but clearly you have no clue what you're talking about. Semi-conductor parts have gone up SIGNIFICANTLY over the last few years.

You're also not comparing apples to apples. Quoting Black Friday sales on parts means sweet f-all, that's not MSRP. And also not the same thing. An external part is not the same as an internal one being soldered to the board, the costs are different. Am I defending Apple's retarded SSD prices? No, they are a rip off as I already stated. I said you have to ALSO factor in inflation.

People also can't seem to grasp that the design and customer service from a company are thrown in with the price but they're not free. Why is a Mercedes more expensive than a Hyundai? They both achieve the same task.

I’m wondering if they will have a small discount on the Apple Pencil...ah who am I kidding!

 

[Wowereit]

I'm pretty certain Apple isn't going to give you a discount.

I guess something like free Beats headphones for every $800+ purchase.

I am excited to save 5 dollars off from the new iPad Pro on Black Friday / s

Black Friday is a US thing

You’d be surprised at how many countries around the world have adopted some sort of “Black Friday” in recent years - even countries where Thanksgiving is not celebrated

Apple is basically known for NOT giving BF deals. This def indicates that they are struggling.

Apple and Discounts is like Nordstroms and the word SALE..should not be put in the same sentence haha!

Expect their usual trash offer of an iTunes gift card

 

[HOTBOBA]

What's the likelihood of the XS Max being included? A free gift card is better than nothing for me as I have no intention of adding a line or dealing with bill credits.

I would love to see a sale on 27" iMac as a pity prize for not doing anything for that line...

Lot of places starting BF before Thursday! Others after 5:00 P.M. on Thursdays. Others no online but in store only! I going with the ones that offer both and before Thursday 5:00 P.M.

Decided to get a Mini 4 after all if I can get it at $249.00! BB saids to stand in line 2 hours before opening! No way, Sam! I will do it only online since you do not off a discount on this online for the Mini 4!

Apple is a premium luxury brand. You ever see Louis Vuitton or Gucci have Black Friday sales?

You ever see Louis Vuitton or Gucci not include a zipper and ask you to pay for it separately?

Thank you !!!! THAT IS EXACTLY what i'm saying when people say it's luxury... it's just not ! Giving a 20cm charger, not even a little thing to clean your screen, no nothing... it's just cheap ! The first iPhone was luxury (charger, dock and everything...) now it's a rip off.

Can someone tell me if Apple has done Black Friday Deals before or is this a first?
TIA

I spent $3,000 Canadian on Nov 7 for ipad pro, keyboard and pencil. Think apple will allow a return/repurchase to get whatever gift card/headphones etc?
