Apple has been known to join in on Black Friday, but in recent years it has chosen to offer gift cards instead of discounts.

Last year, Apple’s one-day event rewarded customers with a free gift card worth up to £120 with certain purchases, so we can expect something similar to take place this time round too.

If it’s discounted prices you’re looking for though, your best bet is to head to other major retailers like Amazon, Currys or John Lewis, who will most likely continue to slash prices up until December.

Here we will be constantly updating the best deals for MacBooks, iPhones, iPads and Apple watches in the lead up to Black Friday.

MacBooks

Whether you're after a featherlight laptop for working on the go, or a full-blown bonanza of a widescreen for all your graphic and editing needs, Apple has you covered. Macbooks are traditionally at the pricier end of the laptop scale, so these deals are really worth your time.
