Apple Offers Up Gift Cards With Black Friday, Cyber Monday Purchases
Apple doesn't really do Black Friday discounts, but you can grab a gift card with your purchase of previous-gen iPhones or Macs, the full iPad lineup, and more.

-
Apple refreshes its gift card program to unify physical Store cards and digital App Store/iTunes credits into a single Apple Gift Card that can be used for both hardware and digital services. This simplifies purchasing and balances across Apple devices and services. This consolidation was highlighted in coverage noting that the new cards work across Apple Stores and digital purchases, with a single account balance page.[1]
-
Apple’s gift cards have historically been part of promotional shopping events, including Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals where eligible purchases come with an Apple Gift Card credit—up to notable values on big-ticket products. This pattern has appeared in multiple outlets noting gift-card incentives during seasonal promotions.[2][3]
-
There have also been grey-market and scam-related concerns around Apple gift cards in the broader landscape, underscoring the importance of purchasing from official Apple channels to avoid fraud. Authorities and media have reported on large-scale scams involving gift cards, emphasizing official redemption pathways.[5]
-
For ongoing availability and specifics, Apple maintains dedicated pages for gift cards (including eGift and corporate options) and promotes the card as applicable to “everything Apple,” spanning devices, services, and apps. Official Apple pages consistently present the card as a universal Apple value tool.[6][7][8]
