Apple has always carried with it a sense of superiority when it comes to the myriad of consumer electronics devices that it carries. After all, you do need to pay for good design -- it simply does not fall out from the sky just like that. Well, sometimes the desirable might be out of reach for many just because the extra $100 or couple of Benjamins could go a long way in the monthly expenses in a household, which is why when it comes to events such as Black Friday sales, there is always keen interest to check out whether some Apple products would have their prices slashed by retailers. This would be one of the rare opportunities in a year where the normally more expensive Apple devices are available at a lower price, so let us take a look at what are some of the available bargains at the moment.

iPhone Black Friday deals
The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are certainly handsets that many would wish to own -- especially with the iPhone 7 Plus that sports two cameras, allowing you to capture images that have that “bokeh” effect. However, chances are you will not see a massive price cut in those new flagship models. Rather, we would be more inclined to see the older iPhone models being offered at steep discounts (relatively speaking) since retailers would want to shift as much stock of the older handsets as possible.

For instance, we would not be surprised to see the iPhone SE or the iPhone 6S being made available to the masses at a very favorable price point. Should there be even older iPhone models that are part of the Black Friday sales or deals, you would most probably fork out a pittance for those simply because they are going to be obsolete while in the box itself. Heck, it might not even make it to the iOS 10 update!

MacBook, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Black Friday deals
We used to be able to look forward to a new MacBook model being released with each year without fail, like clockwork. However, in recent times, it looks like Apple has decided to slow down on the new MacBook releases, letting the refresh period from one model to another grow wider. It does not matter whether we are talking about the standard MacBook, the super slim MacBook Air, or the high powered MacBook Pro. All of them ought to see some decent deals being struck this coming Black Friday. Again, the general rule of thumb applies here -- the older the model, the higher the amount of discount offered. However, we would not dare rule out exceptions to the rule here!

Mac minis, Mac Pros and iMacs too, are slated to experience some Black Friday deals, but they have tend to be less popular compared to the MacBook range.

Other Apple devices with Black Friday deals
As for the remaining devices from Apple, surely there would be no short offers when it comes to the likes of the Apple TV, Apple Watch, and of course, the iPad range. This should also be open season when it comes to hunting down that fantastic deal for an Apple accessory that you have been looking for all this while.
