Today is, after all, Black Friday, the massive consumer spending spree that puts the jingle in many a retailer's cash register. Why should Apple be any different? As the retailer with the best sales-per-square-foot ratio, it can surely afford a few dollars off, here and there.
Apple's Black Friday discounts, which are in effect for today only, cover a range of Apple products and accessories, with one notable exception: the iPhone.
Here's a quick rundown of some of the bargains to be had:
- Macs: The magic number here is $101. That's how much you'll save on each of these items: the MacBook Air (today's starting price: $898), MacBook Pro (starting today at $1,098), and iMac (also starting at $1,098).
