Black Friday Deals for the 16”

[rjyoungSD]

What’s the outlook on any Black Friday Deals for a new 16”?

if I bought one now from Apple will they refund a difference if they put it on sale on BF?

Maybe..

But it's hard to imagine there will be too much of a discount on something that is literally brand new..at least not beyond the token "$100 off" we've seen here and there already.

I'd say the chances are slim to none from Apple but who knows....

Best Buy has their 16" machines $100 off if you are a BB rewards member..

Yeah being so new it's unlikely to see super savings - but if you can wait into next year it will probably become increasingly common to find $2-300 off. Personally I want to wait until John Lewis start stocking them (UK) - they're big on price matching but also offer their own 2 year guarantee on top of Apple's 1 year so it's a really ideal place for this sort of purchase As I'm probably going to be buying in excess of £100 of new cables, adapters, USB C accessories etc it would definitely be nice to get the machine for £1-200 off.

Apple won't be discounting them, but others may cut the price a small bit. I kind of doubt it, most retailers avoid discounting the latest and greatest. The primary reason is they're going to sell very well anyways why reduce their profits.

The real discounts will be from all the places trying to fire sale their stock of 15" models (2016-2019) with ticking time bomb keyboards.

I ordered mine from Expercom. If you aren't in a rush (it takes longer because they have to order in store and ship to you after), you can save a decent amount, especially on BTO models. I ended up getting an i9/2.4, 32GB, 8GB 5500M, 1TB SSD. On the machine and Apple Care, I saved a total of $300, and another ~$320 in tax based on where they ship. Total was ~ $4,198 on Apple (including warranty) ended up being $3,577.
