Black Friday, which is a major shopping day in the United States and several other countries, marks the kickoff of the holiday shopping season. On Black Friday, retailers often offer significant discounts on popular products to lure customers into their stores.

Apple's international online and retail stores also participate in these sales, though Apple's discounts tend to be very modest. Last year's discounts for Apple's core products were as follows (in USD):

- iPad with Retina Display - $41 Off
- iPad 2 - $31 Off
- iPod touch - $ 31 Off
- iPod touch 4th Generation - $21 Off
- iPod nano - $11 Off
- MacBook Pro with Retina - $101 Off
- MacBook Pro - $101 Off
- MacBook Air - $101 Off

For absolute savings, customers will have better luck with third- party merchants that tend to offer steeper discounts on Apple products on Black Friday. We have also gathered all of the best deals on Apple products and accessories into a comprehensive roundup.

Apple, you have to learn how to do holiday sales from the retail giants like Walmart or BestBuy.

Stop these lowball offers... it really looks cheap!

Erm, why? They don't *need* to offer any offers. iPad is selling well, so are the MacBooks. Why do they need to offer 'huge' discounts.

Black Friday is a retailer event. Apple is primarily a manufacturer.

Where's the rule that - because American's came up with 'Black Friday' - somehow everyone has to suddenly offer deep discounts? Surreal.

Seems like Apple should take a hint from Target and Walmart. Why not offer Apple gift cards? That way it would look like they're offering a $200 discount, when really they're just having you shop more.
