Black Friday madness is officially underway, starting with Australia, where Apple has kicked off its highly anticipated Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping event. As shoppers around the globe gear up for incredible deals, the specifics from Down Under provide a tantalizing preview of what’s to come for the U.S. and U.K. markets in just hours.

Event Timing and Offers

Mark your calendars! The event runs from midnight on Friday, November 29, through to the end of Monday, December 2, across different time zones. With deals rolling out in real-time, this is an opportunity that Apple fans won’t want to miss.

What to Expect from Apple’s Shopping Extravaganza?

Instead of offering traditional discounts on products, Apple is employing a unique strategy this year by providing gift cards that can be redeemed in-store or online for future purchases. This means if you're planning to shop for more Apple products, you're essentially getting value equal to a discount—potentially a smarter way to save!

iPhone Offers: Grab Your Gift Card!

If you're in the market for a new iPhone, you’ll be delighted to know that purchasing an iPhone 15, iPhone 14, or an iPhone SE will get you a gift card offer. In Australia, for instance:

- **iPhone 15**: Receive a gift card worth A$120

- **iPhone 14**: Get a gift card of A$80

- **iPhone SE**: Enjoy a A$40 gift card

Based on these Australian offers, we can anticipate that U.S. customers might receive approximately $75 with the iPhone 15, $50 with the iPhone 14, and $25 with the iPhone SE. The U.K. offers are also expected to feature gift cards of £60, £40, and £20 for the respective models. As the clock ticks toward midnight, we will keep you updated on confirmations.

iPad Deals: Larger Gift Cards Await!

But wait, there’s more! Apple is offering even larger gift cards with its iPad lineup. The offers include substantial gift cards when purchasing an iPad Pro, iPad Air, or iPad (10th Generation). In Australia, here's what you can expect:

- **iPad (10th Generation)**: A gift card worth A$80

- **iPad Air**: A generous A$120 gift card

- **iPad Pro**: A whopping A$160 gift card

This leads us to speculate that U.S. customers may see deals of around $50 for the iPad (10th Generation), $75 for the iPad Air, and an impressive $100 for the iPad Pro. In the U.K., anticipate £40, £60, and £80 respectively. Again, we’ll confirm these exciting offers as they roll out.
