Best Deals At Apple This Black Friday 2023

It's that time of year again where tech enthusiasts and Apple fans gear up for Black Friday to try and bag some of the best deals on the tech giant's range of products.

Whether you're looking to upgrade your iPhone, set yourself up with a new MacBook, or treat yourself to a new Apple Watch or some AirPods, Black Friday 2023 could be the perfect time to do it!

While Apple itself doesn’t really take part in Black Friday sales - you're very unlikely to find any discounted products on the Apple store - in the past, Apple have instead provided gift cards on purchase that can be used at the Apple Store in the future, a move that it seems likely it will be repeating for Black Friday 2023.

While we're not entirely sure what the gift card scheme will look like this year, during Black Friday 2022, this is what customers could claim.

• If you bought an iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 12, iPhone SE, iPad Mini, iPad Air, Apple Watch SE or some AirPods Pro, Apple would give you a £50 Apple Store gift card.

• If you bought an M1 MacBook Air, Pro or M2 MacBook Pro, Apple would give you a £150 to £250 gift card, and if you bought the AirPods Max, you’d get a £75 gift card.

That said, if you do have your heart set on a discount on the Apple product you were just about to buy, instead of a future purchase, don't worry, there are plenty of third-party retailers who will almost certainly be running reduced pricing on Apple products for Black Friday 2023.
