Each year Apple holds a Black Friday four-day shopping event, but rather than offering discounts it just gives gift vouchers for certain products. In 2022 you could get gift cards with the following Mac purchases:

$100/£100 Apple gift card: Mac mini
$150/£150 Apple gift card: M1 MacBook Air, M2 MacBook Air, iMac 24-inch
$200/£200 Apple gift card: M2 MacBook Pro 13-inch
$250/£250 Apple gift card: MacBook Pro 14-inch, MacBook Pro 16-inch

We often find the best savings are for older models.
Be sure to confirm what the generation is of the discounted model so that you know exactly what you are buying and what it’s really worth.
Sometimes resellers switch to selling refurbished or used products once their stock of brand new models run out. Make sure you check that the model discounted isn’t actually a used Mac and therefore not as good a deal as it might look. On Amazon, for example, look for Buy New prices.
Mac deals are not limited to Black Friday. There are good deals to be had all year round, so don’t feel pressured into buying during Black Friday.
