Apple kicks off Black Friday shopping event

Apple has begun its annual Black Friday shopping event, offering gift cards with eligible purchases rather than direct discounts. The promotion runs from today through December 1 across Apple Stores, the Apple Store app and Apple.com.
Customers buying smaller accessories such as AirPods 4, AirPods 4 with noise cancellation, Apple TV 4K, Beats Pill, select Magic Keyboard models for the latest iPad Air, and Apple Pencil Pro will receive a 25-dollar gift card.
A 50-dollar card is available with purchases of the iPhone 16e, A16 iPad, iPad mini, Apple Watch models, AirPods Pro 3, the full-size HomePod and several Beats headphones and earbuds. The iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus and AirPods Max qualify for a 75-dollar card.
Apple is offering a 100-dollar card with the Mac mini or either size of the current iPad Air, while the iMac qualifies for a 150-dollar card. A 175-dollar card is included with the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air.
For larger notebooks, Apple is providing a 200-dollar card with the 15-inch MacBook Air and a 250-dollar card with 14- or 16-inch MacBook Pro models equipped with the M4 Pro or M4 Max chips.
