9to5Mac reveals the prices for Apple's 2011 Black Friday sales. The discounts are in line with last year's prices, with only modest discounts on the company's products. Price drops for Apple's core products are as follows:
iPad 2 - $41 to $61 Off iPod nano - $11 off iPod Touch - $21 to $41 off MacBook Air - $101 off MacBook Pro - $101 off iMac - $101 off
Meanwhile, 3rd party accessories are also seeing some small discounts ranging from $11-$101.95 in savings for accessories such as iPad Smart Covers, iPhone battery packs and external hard drives.
These prices should be available for both online and local retail Apple store locations. For those who were planning to purchase from Apple retail anyway, it makes sense to wait until Friday. Customers eligible for Apple's educational pricing on Macs may also want to compare prices, as some models have better standard educational pricing while others have better Black Friday pricing.
For those looking for more savings, other online retailers frequently have their own Black Friday sales on Apple products as well. Depending on your location, those other online retailers may provide the added advantage of not charging sales tax on online orders. Apple's online store does charge local sales tax on all orders when applicable.

"modest" discounts? Please. 8%-10% is a "weak" discount. Discounts that mean anything to a USA consumer, especially on Black Friday or during the Holiday season, BEGIN at 20%...especially electronics.
I'm sure there will be flame replies stating Apple doesn't have to do discounts, blah blah blah...and you're right...nobody has to do anything in this world.
Yeah I'm not sure why this is becoming such a big news story around the web. This is about normal for Apple Products. For the most part, bottom line is, Apple doesn't give discounts.
