Apple reveals when its Black Friday sale begins, don’t miss this date

Apple has just officially revealed when its big Black Friday discounts will start and there’s not long left to wait. The US technology giant has confirmed that its deals will go live on November 25 and last for four days with things ending on November 28.

Unlike most other retailers – who are offering big discounts on devices – Apple is doing things a little differently with the firm dishing out free gift cards when customers buy products such as the iPhone, AirPods, Apple Watch or MacBooks.

In fact, there’s a whopping £250 Apple Gift Card up for grabs when buying a new laptop which can then used be used to buy accessories or cut the cost of another device such as the iPad.

Along with that money back, Apple is also promising some generous trade-in deals with users able to hand over old gadgets and get a reduction on something new.

What is Black Friday

Black Friday was started in the United States as a way for retailers to drum-up extra sales ahead of the holidays. The one-day sales event would see millions of people queue up outside high street shops to secure the best Black Friday deals, dubbed “doorbusters”. Held on the first Friday after the Thanksgiving celebrations, Black Friday is no longer confined to the shores of the United States – it has become a global phenomenon.
