Apple Black Friday sales

        On Apple.com, the company is still teasing its Black Friday ‘one day special shopping event, but offering few hints on as to what you’ll actually be able to buy.If you’re an existing Apple customer, or somehow got on the Apple e-blast list, you’ve probably already gotten word about the company’s Black Friday teaser.
         Today’s email from Apple is titled “Friday only: A special shopping event” and promotes a special, one-day shopping event this Black Friday. Retail stores open at 8 am or consumers have the option of shopping online all day on some “deals.” But when Apple announced earlier this month about a Beatles addition to the iTunes library that people would “never forget,” I’m afraid this special Black Friday offer may just be another Apple cries wolf scenario.        

         Ads on the Apple website started teasing special deals, but haven’t announced any specific discounts. Apple rarely cuts the price of its iOS products, but may offer larger discounts on its related accessories. Industry professionals have said that if previous holiday seasons are of any indication, iPods, keyboard s, mice, MacBooks and iMacs are most likely to be discounted by Apple.

          For the last two years, Apple has offered similar savings on Black Friday, such as deals like $101 off the iMac and MacBook Pro and savings on iPods and Apple TV. And with chatter in the industry of a new iPad 2 in the works, we wonder if the tablet will have anything to do with this Friday’s secret sale.
Since when did Apple get so secretive about its products and offerings? If you really want to get a good deal on an Apple product, you may want to check out one of their authorized resellers.
