We're just over two weeks away from Black Friday 2018, and in preparation we have begun compiling sales that we know are coming in our dedicated Black Friday Roundup. This Roundup includes sales on Apple devices and other tech-related items that have been shared early ahead of the shopping holiday, or in some cases have leaked online.

So far, we know that Target will have sales on iPhone, Apple Watch, and iPad mini 4. Apple Watch Series 3 will be marked down by $80 (as low as $199 for the 38mm GPS only model), and the iPad mini 4 will be available for $249.99, a $150 discount from the regular price of $399.99. Macy's is matching Target's sale on Apple Watch Series 3, and Costco will have its on sale on the 32GB 9.7-inch iPad from Early 2018, priced at $249.99, down from $319.99.

So far, other major retailers with Black Friday deals we know about include Belk, Kohl's, JCPenney, and Dell, so we're still waiting on other companies like Best Buy, Walmart, The Home Depot, GameStop, and more. The shopping tracker site BestBlackFriday.com is keeping track of all these ad scans, deals, and more. For specific discounts, offers, store times, and more related to Black Friday, be sure to keep an eye on our Black Friday Roundup as we'll continuously update it leading up to November 23.

Ahead of Black Friday, Anker has outlined its promo codes for the month of November, this time including a few USB-C cables and accessories that will pair well with the new 2018 iPad Pro. The full list of Anker's new Amazon sale can be found below, and be sure to pay attention to the expiration dates and place your order before the codes are discontinued.

Some discount on the new MacBook Air or Mac Mini might be the yet missing argument for me to finally purchase them.
 
When does Apple normally announce what their own deals for Black Friday are going to be? I need to buy another unlocked iPhone, but if I can save some money, waiting is OK by me.

When is Anker going to start doing USB C to Lightning? Didn't Apple recently start licencing these?

Apple itself doesn't do Black Friday. Walmart/Target/Best Buy/etc. offer Apple products during their own Black Friday promotions. https://www.macrumors.com/2017/11/23/best-apple-black-friday-deals-2017/

I remember them doing a Beats sale on Black Friday for sure. I went to check them out and walked out with a new (regular priced) pair of AirPods instead. ;) But they do generally have a crappy gift card giveaway on some Apple products as well. Nothing nearly as good as Target or Best Buy, but it is a special.
 
Again, that's incorrect. Last Black Friday the Apple Store gave consumers money off of a lot of products in the store as part of a black Friday promotion.

$150 Apple Gift Card for every Mac purchased is not money off. And I think it was only $50 or $100 for an iPhone.

Yes and those are their black Friday deals. So if I can wait a week or two and get 50-100 off, I think it's worth it.
