Adam Kos This Friday, November 24, is the only official Black Friday, even though domestic stores typically run it since the beginning of November. Now we've learned ahead of time what the official Apple Black Friday will bring us, and it's still the same. But who expected anything more?
Apple organizes discount events in its domestic Online Store only twice a year. The first is with respect to the beginning of the school year, when it offers discounted products to schoolchildren, who must meet certain conditions for the discount. In the case of Apple Black Friday, it's easier. Everyone gets a discount, but not for free and not immediately. She is actually not even a discount.

I don't want a free discount
From this Friday until Monday, November 27th (which is Cyber Monday again), you can buy select products from Apple and get a gift card back for a certain value. So it's something for something. You must buy the first product at full price, then you can discount any other product, but only in a subsequent purchase. That is why many people prefer the classic model practiced by domestic e-shops, when you simply buy the first product with a price discount and you don't have to choose anything else in the store and spend again. On the other hand, such a voucher from Apple may not be a completely bad gift under the Christmas tree.
So the first problem is obvious. The second is that you don't get a card for everything you buy in the Apple Online Store. Its amount also depends on which product you purchase. When you buy an iPhone 13 or 14 or iPhone SE, you get up to 1 CZK, when you buy a MacBook Air or Mac mini, you get up to 800 CZK, when you buy an iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad (4th generation) or iPad mini, you get an Apple Store gift card worth up to CZK 800. In the case of Apple Watch Series 10 or SE, it is CZK 2.

But there are also less likely products on offer, such as AirPods (2nd generation), AirPods (3rd generation), AirPods Pro (2nd generation) or AirPods Max, for which you will get back up to CZK 1, or Apple TV 800K, for which Apple will refund you CZK 4 on the card. If you reach for the Beats brand portfolio, it is 600 CZK, as well as in the case of the Magic Keyboard, Magic Keyboard Folio, Apple Pencil (1nd generation) or Smart Keyboard Folio.

Why is it worth shopping at the Apple Store?
There are really only two advantages here. One is free engraving on those products that can be done and won't get you any business. The second is free shipping, which is actually a matter of course for more expensive products, and if not, it's basically a matter of a maximum of two hundred crowns. Therefore, Apple does not really need to provide any discounts to its customers in its Online Store, and if you want them on the company's products, you have to go to other sellers.
