Apple's 2011 Black Friday Discounts for iPad 2, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac and More

Any Software discounts .........

Because a lot of people want to know whether to wait & visit Apple for a purchase, or act on getting a better price elsewhere. We appreciate knowing ahead of time what to expect when there is limited time to act on it.

I've waited MONTHS to know whether to wait for Black Friday to double up the discounted price with an edu discount. Only now do I find out discount stacking is not allowed, and from what I'm finding from this big news story around the web is the BF discount plus edu discount wouldn't add up to anything meaningful even if stacking were allowed.

Not everyone knows Apple's patterns, and Apple has habit of changing patterns on a dime.

Does Apple traditionally put software on sale on black Friday? I am looking to buy Microsoft Office since I upgraded to Lion (I think the $279 for the business version is way to much)

Called it. It's practically no sales tax, or a little more.

Target has them for sale for $220 vs. the $249 that Apple Store wants. Not a huge savings, but I haven't seen any substantial sales on them.

Thank you. I did not know that.

Apple's sales are always a ******** joke.

Thank you. I did not know that.

Macmall has the iPod Classic for $228 with free shipping and no sales tax. Amazon has them for $220 and free shipping, and no tax in most places.

Nice discount on the Bowers&Wilkins C5's... Been wanting to try these, now might be the time.... Anyone have them? Thoughts?

Will BTO upgrades be slashed accordingly?

"Apple" and "savings" go together like mustard and cake.

But this is normal & better than nothing.

seems typical, about 10%.. not gonna get anything this time around, maybe next time

Lame. With all their incredible profit margins and cash reserves, this is their incredible sale? For heavens sake, Best Try is selling the 13" 256GB MBA for 200.00 off.

The purpose of the cash reserves is not to sell to you below cost.

Wow - what an amazing deal!

An iMac for just $1098 + tax! That's only $70 more than I paid for mine last month from Amazon (after I got back 3% from using my Amazon card). I also found an AppleCare Plan for about 50% less than Apple offers.

But yeah! Everyone run out to your local Apple store, waste time and gas, fight with crowds, so you can pay more for products that you can buy from online retailers!

Use your Chase card to get another 10% off.

Friday --> Apple
CyberMonday --> BestBuy

How does that work? Do you just use the card on Friday?

Sales are something Apple never got right.

$101 discount on a $1500 machine? C'mon dude.....
