Black Friday has arrived! And like every year, I have prepared my strategy to make the most of Apple promotions. Many friends and family members always ask me which device to buy, when to buy it…and Black Friday is the best time to make these purchases a reality.
Apple has launched its “Special Apple Store Days”, which take place starting today, From November 29 to December 2. Instead of offering direct discounts, Apple offers gift cards of up to 200 dollars. And that’s where my master plan comes in. Depending on what you want to buy, you can then spend that same card on AirPods and get them completely free.
Apple offers you up to 200 dollars to continue to complete your ecosystem
My strategy this year is simple but effective: my mother needs to renew her iPad and Apple Watch. None of them have updated to the latest versions and the time has come. So we will buy a 10th generation iPad and an Apple Watch SE. With these two purchases I will receive a 150 euro gift card that does not expire and that you can spend as you wish.
This is where the mother-son negotiation comes from. Since we didn't have that extra money, we will use these 150 dollars in an iPad case that she will keep. And he will give me a bracelet for the Apple Watch. Out of two products that we were going to buy, we ended up taking four. And two of them practically free.
How much money does Apple give you for Black Friday?
- iPhone– When you purchase an iPhone 15, iPhone 14 or iPhone SE, you will receive a gift card worth up to 75 dollars.
- Mac: If you opt for a 15-inch MacBook Air (M3), a 13-inch MacBook Air (M3), or a 13-inch MacBook Air (M2), you will receive a card up to 200 dollars.
- iPad– When you buy an iPad Pro, iPad Air, or iPad (10th generation), you can get a card of up to 100 dollars.
- Apple Watch– If you decide to purchase an Apple Watch SE, you will receive a credit card 50 dollars.
- AirPods: When you purchase AirPods Max, AirPods Pro 2, or AirPods 4, you get 75 dollars on gift card.
- Television and home– Purchasing an Apple TV 4K or HomePod will entitle you to a credit card. 50 dollars.
- Beats: get up 50 dollars as a gift card with the purchase of products such as Beats Studio Pro or Beats Fit Pro.
- Accessories– Finally, if you buy a Magic Keyboard or Apple Pencil, you will receive a credit card. 25 dollars.
Please note, before I start buying, I always do my homework. I compare prices with other stores because sometimes you can find better deals outside the official Apple Store. Keep in mind that Apple doesn't give direct discounts. But it's often worth sticking with Apple for the warranty, product availability, and that gift card that always comes in handy. All Apple offers are available in physical stores and on the Apple website.

*Some prices may have changed since the last review
I've been doing it like this for a few years. For example, last year my mother also had to renew her iPhone. I had an iPhone 11 and it was also time to take the plunge. So if you are thinking of renewing an Apple device or giving a gift this Christmas, my advice is to take advantage of this promotion. You have until December 2 to take advantage of this offer. In addition, returns to USA are until January 20so, if you are thinking of buying something for Santa or the Three Kings, it is time to get the gift in advance.
