Apple today unveiled its Black Friday holiday event for 2022, in which customers can get an Apple Store gift card worth up to $250 with the purchase of an eligible Mac, iPad, or iPhone from the Apple Store.
The Apple Shopping Event runs from November 25 through November 28, Black Friday through Cyber Monday. As usual, check 9to5Toys to find the best Apple deals.
Apple gave an early preview of the deals it will be offering. The deals are roughly in line with what it has offered in previous Black Friday shopping events: a $50-$250 gift card depending on what you buy. Importantly, the offer isn’t available on the latest hardware — the iPhone 14 range for instance is not eligible for any promotional gift card bundle.
Customers buying an iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 12, or iPhone SE can get a $50 gift card. A $50 gift card is also available with Apple Watch SE purchases. AirPods Pro buyers can get a $50 gift card, boosted to $75 in value for the more expensive AirPods Max. An up to $50 gift card value is also available on iPad Air, iPad, and iPad mini purchases.
You can get the maximum $250 gift card value on the purchase of Apple’s most expensive MacBook Pros with M1 Pro or M1 Max chips. Lesser value gift cards will also be included with purchases of MacBook Air, Mac mini, and iMac.
Beats headphones and other Apple accessories like iPad Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil also have associated gift card giveaways.
