If you have never attended an Apple Shopping event, you may be wondering what it’s all about. Here’s a rundown on what you can expect and what to look out for.
Deals
If you’re a fan of Apple products, you’ll love the deals on them that are coming up this holiday season. There are plenty of discounts to be had in the Apple store and at other retailers, as well. However, there are a few things to keep in mind.
While Apple does not typically offer any coupons or discounts in its retail stores, it does offer gift cards. Customers can purchase these gift cards online, or in-store, and use them to pay for their Apple purchases. Gift cards are available in increments of $25 to $250, depending on the product.

Availability
It’s no secret that Apple sells some pretty expensive stuff, but there are some ways to score a good deal on their stuff. Aside from its annual Black Friday through Cyber Monday shopping event, you can also take advantage of deals on Apple’s refurbished store. While you may be tempted to buy a brand new iPhone or Mac, it’s better to shop around for the best prices on pre-owned devices. This allows you to save up to 60% on new and refurbished models.
The most interesting Apple offer of all is its annual Back to School sale. For students, it’s a chance to snag some of the most sought after tech on the market at a fraction of the usual retail price. Plus, you can get a free $150 gift card when you spend at least $500 on eligible merchandise.
Eligible products
During Apple’s annual Black Friday to Cyber Monday shopping event, customers can get a gift card with select purchases. These cards range in value from the modest $50 to the hefty $200.
This offer is limited to individual end users, and is subject to availability. You can find out which products are eligible for this offer by visiting the Apple website.
For this year’s event, Apple is bundling a $200 gift card with certain models of Intel-powered 27-inch iMac. Additionally, Apple is offering a free streaming service called Apple TV+ with a qualifying purchase.
Promotional products
Apple has decided to bring back its traditional Black Friday shopping event. The company will offer special promotional products at the event. They will include gift cards worth between $50 and $200. These can be used to buy new Apple products.
Gift cards will be given at Apple Store locations and via the Apple Store app. Eligible products include iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch models. Some models, including the Apple TV 4K, are not eligible.
The promotion is designed to be a great way to boost sales. However, you should be careful to make sure your company can handle the demand for these items.

AirPods
Apple’s AirPods are among the most popular Bluetooth earbuds. They are easy to pair, have built-in speakers, and allow you to connect to all of your other Apple devices. You can even use them for taking phone calls! The AirPods come with a convenient carrying case that also charges the device.
This year, there are two models available for you to choose from: the AirPods and the AirPods Pro. These are both wildly popular and are on sale at several retailers this holiday season.
The new AirPods Pro come with improved battery life and noise-cancelation. Plus, they include spatial audio, which is an audio technology that focuses on soundstages and dynamic head tracking.
Mac
Apple will be holding a special “Apple Shopping Event” between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This year’s event will be available through the Apple Online Store and Apple stores in select countries.
During the Apple Shopping Event, you will be able to purchase select products and get bonus Apple Gift Cards. The gift cards can be used for digital goods and future Apple purchases. These cards can be redeemed at the Apple Online Store, the App Store, or in Apple Stores.
Some of the products that qualify for the promotion are iPad Pro tablets, MacBook Pros, and MacBook Airs. A few models of Mac computers are also eligible, including the Intel-powered 27-inch iMac.
