Does Apple do Black Friday?
Will Apple enter the fray this Black Friday? Let's find out.
It's the question on everyone's lips: Does Apple do a Black Friday sale?
While Black Friday is typically the time where shoppers purchase big ticket items, from gaming consoles to wireless earbuds, the biggest tech retailer of them all – Apple – is often notably quiet throughout the sales period.
Whether it's iPhones, iPads, AirPods, or Apple Macs, the tech giant is hardly keen to lower its prices, often leaving it up to other UK retailers to offer out deals.
Luckily, we at RadioTimes.com love nothing more than deal hunting, and have put all our efforts into tracking down the best discounts we can find from the likes of Amazon, Very, John Lewis, Currys and more.
We've assembled specific guides on the Apple AirPods Cyber Monday deals, the best Apple Watch UK Cyber Monday deals, the best Apple MacBook Cyber Monday deals, iPhone 16 Cyber Monday deals and how much will the iPad cost this Cyber Monday?
But in spite of all that we're still holding out for a sale from Apple itself. Here's what we know about Apple's Black Friday sale.

Does Apple do a Black Friday sale in the UK?
No. The Apple site doesn't have an official Black Friday sale, but from 29th November it will run a so-called "shopping event" where you can get a gift card of up to £160 when you buy select Apple products.
The size of the Apple Gift Card will depend on what you buy, for instance you can snap up a £60 voucher when you buy select AirPods models or the iPhone 15, you can get a £4o gift card with the Apple Watch SE and the £160 gift card with certain Apple Mac's.
If you want to find an actual deal on Apple products, your best bet is to check out other UK retailers for offers, such as Amazon, Currys, Very and JD Williams.
