Apple typically charges a premium price of its products. Hence, buyers usually wait for the holiday season sale to pick up iPhones and iPads at reasonable discounts. That said, it appears holiday season shoppers are seemingly out of luck as Apple’s Black Friday 2018 deals are disappointing to say the least.
Besides, the company’s Blackk Friday 2018 page itself confirms you’re not getting any dispcunts on iPhone, iPads, MacBooks. Instead, you’ll only get Apple Store Gift Cards if you buy any Apple product during this year’s Black Friday sale.
Apple has already set the bar for launching one of the most expensive iPhone to date, with the iPhone XS priced at a whopping $1449 in the US. That said, it appears the company still sees no reason to announce lucrative Black Friday deals to attract buyers, despite falling iPhone sales. Hence, what you’ll get if you do decide to buy an iPhone this Black Friday – a $50 Apple Store Gift Card for select SIM-free models. Eligible models for this offer include the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 7, and iPhone 7 Plus.
Apple Watch Series 3 also get you a $50 gift card. However, there are no deals on Apple Watch Series 4.
There are no good deals on iPads either. In case you’re interested in buying an iPad, you’ll receive a $100 Apple Store Gift Card. iPad models eligible for this promo include the latest 10.5-inch iPad Pro, iPad, and iPad Mini.
Finally, Apple is offering $200 Apple Store Gift Card with MacBooks.
Apple hasn’t announced any special deals for its 2018 product lineup. Therefore, Apple Store isn’t the best plave to go if you’re looking for a cheaper iPhone XS or the Apple Watch Series 4. It’s better to check other retailers for discounts on Apple products.
