Awesome! I’m glad Apple does this sale every Black Friday!

I’m going to place my order for the new 4K Apple TV right now

I’m getting the 64 GB one so it’s $199 & Apple includes a $50 gift card

I’m getting this for my living room LG TV which I just bought 2 years ago

I just placed my order for the new Apple TV but it’s currently backordered and says it’s getting delivered between December 7-14

Also noticed that the tax is calculated on the amount after factoring in the gift card

Not sure if that is only true for some states but I live in Massachusetts and the rate is 6.25%

Apple did the same thing last Black Friday when I bought my HomePod- instead of paying tax on $299, I paid tax on $199 because of the $100 gift card promotion

...but no mention on the page of the Homepod Mini :( (a reasonably-affordable entry into the 'world of Apple' for many)
yet Amazon are really plugging the Dots in their Black Friday sales.

A missed opportunity I think...
