Apple Store : Black Friday

jamief · 25 Nov 2008 at 13:26

Just got an email from Apple;

"Lots of Gifts - 1 day not to miss".

It doesn't actually say what the deals might be - anyone know from previous experience? I'm after an iPhone, but I guess they don't sell them online anyway, so there won't be any deals?

I got that email as well. Could be handy as I am on the lookout for a shuffle for my Mum so a few quid off wouldn't hurt!

shame it's before the VAT cut too though

MikeHunt79 · 25 Nov 2008 at 15:53

If they give me a Mac Pro I'd consider turning up...

Hoping to get the girlfriend a Nano, will see what the price is like, if not will wait for the VAT drop.

Rooky007 · 25 Nov 2008 at 17:04

I dont think it be any cheaper than what the price will be on 1 Dec... I think they be knocking a VERY little off to make people spend before Monday???? Who knows but I be looking

I think it's retail speak for sales, we've been told it's not a term to use to customers. But hey-ho

Ah it's American, wow never would have guessed

the last friday before thanksgiving typically signifying the start of Christmas shopping.

Taken straight from Wikipedia.

You're being generous there.

Free iPod sock I reckon.

Now if only the vat cute was included as well as the 'sale' price or offers as they like to say.

Having read all this, and the 'excitement' I have no need to purchase anything! :'( boohoo

Av8 · 28 Nov 2008 at 00:04

Rumour I'd heard was 17% off

Sounds a bit much to me but you never know, pigs may fly after all.

*Edit £5 off nano 8gb, oh well guess no pigs will be flying lol*

tonym · 28 Nov 2008 at 00:05

Store's back up.

£30.99 off a base IMac £61 off the higher specc'ed ones
£60.99 off a Macbook alu

syke · 28 Nov 2008 at 00:10

What terrible savings

tsinc80697 · 28 Nov 2008 at 00:11

£31 off white macbook, not really gonna push me into getting one. Probably stick with my netbook for now

tonym · 28 Nov 2008 at 00:12

They don't really seem to make much sense.

It doesn't seem to be a percentage decrease for anything really.

A 500gb Time Capsule is reduced by £11

a 1Tb Time Capsule is also reduced by £11.....

I'm glad as I don't have to buy anything.
