Apple Black Friday sale: Get a free gift card with purchase

FREE GIFT CARD UP TO $250: Apple’s Black Friday deal(opens in a new tab) is officially live. Score a gift card worth up to $250 with the purchase of a qualifying iPhone, iPad, MacBook, AirPods, Apple Watch, Beats, or accessories from Nov. 25 through Nov. 28.

King Apple doesn’t usually bless us with discounts, but Black Friday and Cyber Weekend are the one exception.

While Apple’s Black Friday deal this year isn’t technically a discount on any products, from Nov. 25 through Nov. 28, you’ll snag a gift card worth up to $250 with eligible purchases of Apple products directly from Apple.com. This pretty much matches the promotion Apple ran last year for Cyber Weekend, and we’re sure this is the best we’ll see from the tech giant this year.

Here’s the full rundown of Apple’s Black Friday gift card deals:

• iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 12, or iPhone SE(opens in a new tab) — $50 Apple gift card

• AirPods Pro (2nd-gen), AirPods (2nd-gen), AirPods (3rd generation) with Lightning Charging Case, and AirPods Max(opens in a new tab) — up to a $75 Apple gift card

• Apple Watch SE(opens in a new tab) — $50 Apple gift card

• iPad Air, iPad (9th generation), and iPad mini(opens in a new tab) — up to a $50 Apple gift card

• MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and iMac(opens in a new tab) — up to a $250 Apple gift card

• Magic Keyboard, Smart Keyboard Folio, Apple Pencil (2nd generation), and MagSafe Duo Charger (opens in a new tab)— up to a $50 gift card

• Beats Studio3 Wireless, Solo3 Wireless, Powerbeats Pro, Beats Fit Pro, Beats Studio Buds, or Beats Flex(opens in a new tab) — up to a $50 gift card

Note that each of these gift cards can only be used for a purchase at a later date (you can’t put it toward your Black Friday purchase), and the exact amount you get depends on the specific product you buy. Want that fat $250 gift card? You’ll likely have to cash out on one of the pricier MacBooks.
