Apple's Black Friday Shopping Event to Offer Free Gift Cards on Select Products

Just curious why LG is not on the Oled list of tv?

Value and quality… Sammy offers value with their 77” S90C which uses the same QD OLED as this year’s S95C so it’s equivalent to LG’s G3 in PQ but at C3 prices. Sony‘s processing is unbeatable and offers a better PQ than the G3 and S95C.

LG G3 is a great TV and so is the C3, but for the above reasons, I’ve ruled them out. Next year could be a different story.

That said, for 95% of people who aren’t nit nerds like me, the best TV/value IMO is Hisense, with TCL not far behind. Hisense is selling a 100” mini LED for $4000 which is insane. Heck, you can pick up a Hisense 85” mini LED for the price of a cheap MacBook Pro. It won’t be long before these brands take the lion’s share of the market.

Do you think Apple will give gift cards on the new MacBook Pro in January? I need a comstumized one, but not sure, if I should wait or get it now. My MacBook Pro 2014 is still running ok.

There's not going to be a gift card promo again til Back to School after this. So no chance in January.

Does anyone know if the gift card is instantly redeemable? So for example my wife needs to upgrade to a an iPhone 14 which would mean she gets a gift card. And my dad wants to get an iPhone 15. So can we purchase the 14 in the store and then immediately use the gift card on another purchase to purchase the 15?

Yes, you can.

What are the actual gift card values for AirPods. It says up to £60 (I’m in UK). Does anyone know or has it been released what the values are.

I maybe want to buy a S9 and AirPods 3, and want to know which way to buy first to get biggest gift card off the other.

This is the US website, but: https://www.apple.com/shop/gifts/shopping-event/terms-conditions

Edit: didn’t answer your question before. In the US the watch is a better gift card than the AirPods 3 (50 vs 25, respectively)

Don’t think can use it and get the gift card.

Purchased an iPhone 14, no gift card. I was told by Apple that because I selected TMobile at checkout, I wasn’t eligible for the gift card.

The Apple "Shopping Event" terms and conditions stated that carrier-connect iPhones (AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile) did not qualify for gift cards.

Same here. Oh well.

Correct. However, the gift card is for apple products that cost (to make) a fraction of the quoted gift card value. The student discount is cash back.
