bigjimslade Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Welcome to the community! Apple does not really do anything for BF. They will have some prices lowered but not to make a big difference. As a general rule Apple sets their own prices. For example if you buy a macbook it will be the same price in the Apple store and Apple Resellers like Best Buy. If you want a discount you are better off finding a college student in your family who can get a good discount or open your own small business and Apple will give you a discount then.
i.feature Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 It's usually about 5-15% depending on the item. At resellers you'll likely get a bundle. For example free itunes card, cheap printer etc. As mentioned the student discount can be had year round, as well as there being good deals in the online refurb store.

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States and marks the traditional start to the holiday shopping season. The day brings early store openings and deep discounts from many retailers, and ranks as one of the busiest shopping days of the year. From Apple's U.S. online store: Wrap it up this Friday.The special one-day Apple shopping event. November 26. Come back to the Apple Online Store the day after Thanksgiving for a special one-day-only holiday shopping event. You'll find dozens of great iPad, iPod, and Mac gifts for everyone on your list. Mark your calendars now. And until then, get started by browsing the Apple Online Store for great ideas.Emails sent to existing customers mention that Apple's retail stores will be opening at 8:00 AM on Friday. Apple typically offers modest discounts compared to other retailers, although many readers still like to take advantage of Apple's one-day-only prices. We've tracked Apple's annual Black Friday discounts for a number of years now, with last year seeing $101 discounts on iMacs and MacBook Pros, discounted iPod touches and nanos, $30 off of iWork, and deals on a number of accessories from Apple and third parties.

jenirvt Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 Hope they don't discount the iPad! Well, I hope for that for me, anyhow...I just bought one last Friday from Apple online for DH....figured they wouldn't do anything with the price of it this season. And I was afraid of it being hard to find as it's supposed to be pretty "hot" this year.
