The Apple Store today announced its Black Friday shopping event, which runs November 28 through December 1. Shoppers can get up to a $250 gift card when buying eligible Mac, iPhone, iPad, Watch and more.
Apple’s gift card promotions don’t generally represent the best value for money. For instance, you can buy AirPods 4 on Amazon right now discounted more than the $25 gift card value Apple is offering in this promotion. As always, for the best deals around, check out 9to5Toys.
This year, shoppers participating in Apple’s Black Friday event can get a $250 gift card when they buy a MacBook Pro (14-inch or 16-inch) with M4 Pro or M4 Max chip.
The headline $250 gift card offer is only available when buying one of the most expensive MacBook Pros. The gift card value decreases from there.
A purchase of a 15-inch MacBook Air earns a $200 gift card, whereas a 13-inch MacBook Pro only gets a $175 gift card. Any iMac comes with a $150 gift card.
Then, $100 gift cards are available when buying either a Mac mini, or an iPad Air (11-inch or 13-inch). A $75 gift card is available when buying an iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Plus, or Apple’s over-ear headphones AirPods Max.
You can get a $50 card with the purchase of iPhone 16e, the entry-level A16 iPad, iPad mini, Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch SE 3, AirPods Pro 3, HomePod, or a selection of Beats wireless headphones.
Finally, a $25 gift card is offered when buying AirPods 4, Apple TV 4K, the Beats Pill, iPad Magic Keyboard, or Apple Pencil Pro.
As in previous years, Apple does not offer a promotional gift card with the purchase of its latest high-end products. That includes the omission of any savings for the iPhone 17 lineup, M5 MacBook Pro, or M5 iPad Pro. The gift card also cannot be used to reduce the purchase price on Black Friday. You must use the gift card for a future purchase at the Apple Store.
