If you're looking to save on an Apple product for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, your best bet is probably to purchase from a third-party retailer like Amazon, Walmart, or Best Buy. But if you prefer to buy your iPhones or Macs directly from Apple, the company will have some Black Friday savings in the form of gift cards with your purchase.
Apple's Black Friday deals start on Nov. 24 and run through Cyber Monday on Nov. 27. On Apple.com or in Apple Stores, those who buy qualified products can snag an Apple gift card valued at up to $200 for a future purchase. Here's what you can get and quick links to PCMag's reviews of all these products.
