When does Apple's Black Friday sale start and what deals can I get?
Many retailers have already kicked off their Black Friday sales early, but one question that may be on your lips is, "When does the Apple Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale start?"
Well, as is tradition, Apple won't rush into its major deals period. It will, in fact, start its big bargain bonanza on Black Friday itself – Friday, 24 November 2023. And it'll run through to the end of play on Cyber Monday, 27 November.
The company has also revealed that its deals will be largely what we've come to expect over the years – you'll get an Apple Gift Card worth up to $200 / £160 with eligible purchases on the Apple Store.
That means, should you be in the market for a new iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, Apple Watch or AirPods, you will have additional credit to spend on any other item on the Apple Store afterwards.
