This Black Friday you won't see big discounts on the Apple Store. Instead, the Apple Black Friday shopping event will offer gift cards to the value of up to £250 with the purchase of Macs, iPhones, Apple Watches and more. It means that rather than discounting its items, you can use the money to buy something extra. The £50 that will come with the iPhone or Apple Watch will buy you an extra strap or a phone case, which will come in useful.
However, there are other ways to save on Apple products, and many retailers are already offering actual discounts on devices. The biggest savings come from older models and accessories of course, but if you really want to save on Apple gear, that's lots of choices out there.
You can find a full list of discounts on all Apple devices on our Best Apple deals page. However, for Black Friday, we've rounded up some of the very best options for you right here.
