Apple Black Friday is my time to get free official products. This year I already have a plan ready

Black Friday has arrived! And like every year, I have a strategy prepared to get the most out of Apple’s promotions. Many friends and family always ask me which device to buy, when to buy it… and Black Friday is the best time so that these purchases become a reality.

Apple has launched “Special Apple Store Days” starting today. November 29, until December 2. Instead of direct discounts, Apple is giving away gift cards worth up to 200 euros. And this is where my master plan comes to the rescue. Depending on what you want to buy, you can even spend this card on AirPods and get them completely free.

Apple gives you up to 200 euros to continue developing your ecosystem

My strategy this year is simple but effective: my mom needs to upgrade her iPad and Apple Watch. None of them have updated to the latest versions, but the time has come. So, we will buy the 10th generation iPad and Apple Watch SE. With these two purchases I will receive a €150 gift card that never expires and you can spend it on whatever you want.

This is where the negotiations between mother and son take place. Since we didn’t have that extra money, we are going to use this 150 euros in an iPad case that she will keep. And he will give me an Apple Watch strap. Of the two products we were going to buy, we ended up buying four. And two of them are practically free.

How much money does Apple give you on Black Friday?

• iPhone– When you purchase an iPhone 15, iPhone 14 or iPhone SE, you will receive a gift card worth up to 75 euros.
• Poppy: If you choose the 15″ MacBook Air (M3), 13″ MacBook Air (M3) or 13″ MacBook Air (M2), you will receive up to 200 euros.
• iPad– When you purchase an iPad Pro, iPad Air or iPad (10th generation), you can get a card worth up to 100 euros.
• Apple Watch– If you decide to purchase Apple Watch SE, you will receive a credit card. 50 euros.
• AirPods: When you purchase AirPods Max, AirPods Pro 2 or AirPods 4, you get up to 75 euros on a gift card.
• TV and home– Purchasing an Apple TV 4K or HomePod entitles you to a credit card. 50 euros.
• beats: stand up 50 euros as a gift card when you purchase products like Beats Studio Pro or Beats Fit Pro.
• Accessories– Finally, if you buy a Magic Keyboard or Apple Pencil, you will receive a credit card. 25 euros.

Be careful before you start buying, I always do my homework. I compare prices with other stores because sometimes you may find better deals outside of the official Apple Store.. Keep in mind that Apple does not provide direct discounts. But in many cases, it’s worth sticking with Apple for the warranty, product availability, and gift card that will always come in handy. All Apple offers are available in physical stores and on the Apple website.

I’ve been doing it this way for several years now. For example, last year my mom also had to upgrade her iPhone. I had an iPhone 11 and it was time to take it a step further. So, if you’re thinking of upgrading your Apple device or giving it as a Christmas gift, my advice is to take advantage of this promotion. You have until December 2nd to take advantage of this offer. Except, returns in Spain until January 20th.So, if you’re going to buy something for Santa Claus or the Three Wise Men, it’s time to give yours a gift in advance.
