Update: Even though it’s not quite Black Friday in the US yet, it’s past midnight in some other parts of the globe. Notably, Australia and the UK have both seen their respective Apple Web sites updated to reveal Apple’s one-day sale. While we can’t say yet that the deals in the US will be exactly the same, there’s no reason think they won’t be.
On apple.com/uk, we saw a 13-inch MacBook Pro, originally £1,149, marked down to £1,078. On apple.com/au, the same unit was A$1,868, marked down from A$1,999.
Similarly, a 32GB iPod Touch is £208, marked down from £229 on the UK site, while while in Australia, it’s A$358, down from A$399.
We’ve also examined some Black Friday deals from other retailers, click here for that. Our original post continues below:
According to purportedly leaked documents on the tech rumor site Boy Genius Report, Apple is gearing up to offer a series of post-Thanksgiving bargains on products from iPods to MacBooks.
The deal, allegedly good only on November 27, lists “up to” discounts of 30 percent on iPods (excluding the Shuffle and iPhone), 25 percent on Mac laptops and desktops, and 15-percent on accessories, software, and other hardware.
The Boy Genius Report Web site says: “One of our connects just hit us up with some intriguing Apple information. According to them, what you see detailed above is a shot of Apple’s yearly Black Friday deals. It’s reported to be something Apple will email out shortly.”
Of course, with the vague use of “up to” and no specific products listed, we can’t be sure if these will be good deals or not. But if you’re interested in being the first in line to check them out, the leaked doc also says that select Apple stores will be opening at 6 a.m. on November 27.
