FAQs When is Black Friday? Black Friday is Friday, Nov. 27 this year. Hundreds of retailers will discount their merchandise ahead of, during, and after Black Friday.
Should I buy Apple products on Black Friday? Apple products will see some big discounts on Black Friday, as they do every year. But the truth is, you’ll find similar discounts weeks ahead of Black Friday, so if you see something that’s already between 20% or 30% off, I’d suggest buying it now.
Closer to the deals event, the products may run out of stock. Typically, Apple discounts its merchandise for an event like this, with some of the best price drops happening a few days before and during Black Friday or Cyber Week. If you don’t need to buy an item, my best advice would be: don’t.
A 20% discount still costs you money you may not have needed to spend in the first place. It’s not “savings” if you spent money on some unnecessary item because there was a deal tacked on.
