A
s ‘Black Friday’ rapidly approaches there is more and more speculation as to what we can expect from Apple’s Black Friday Sales. Some of the savings are reported to be as much as 25% off of all Mac Hardware, ie. MacBooks, MacBook Pro’s, Mac Minis, etc. while other leaks are reporting that you can save up to 30% off of anything in the iPod lineup.
Even though Apple generally haven’t jumped at big discounts in the past, I’ll still be keeping my eyes peeled come Friday morning as there’s a few little bits and pieces I’ve been eyeing off accessory wise. So remember to bookmark ‘Apple’s Black Friday Sales Page‘.

Apparently, non Apple US stores are preempting these massive discounts by offering these discounts:

roughly applied here, i wouldn’t hold my breath. It may be around $20-$30 more than the education discount. which is disappointing given the rumor.
Stand by… I’m confused. This is obviously US ‘black Friday’ not Australia, right? Cos we’ve had no Friday 13 recently, nor do we have one coming.
So what date does this actually take place for Australia?
Actually Black Friday refers to the Friday following Thanksgiving in the US. Generally sales start early in the morning and are the last big stock clearance / discount before Christmas.
In Australia some American based companies do similar sales here, Apple being one of those companies.
The discounts on Apple products are small compared to what some companies in the US are doing, but considering Apple pretty well never discounts it’s still quite tempting to purchase something….
