Apple fans are split over the 2024 black Friday deals. With Black Friday just around the corner, Apple fans are in a frenzy over the tech giant’s 2024 promotional plans. Instead of offering direct discounts, Apple has stuck to its traditional gift card deals. As usual, Apple has bundled gift cards with their worth ranging from $25 to $200 with their products. While some enthusiasts appreciate the deal, others are relatively disappointed because other retailers are offering more immediate savings.

However, critics have argued that this makes the entire experience a little less exciting than direct price cuts. Apple’s resellers like Amazon and Best Buy are undercutting Apple by offering real discounts on coveted products like the M4 Mac mini, MacBook Pro, and iMac. These deals provide instant savings and have gathered the attention of potential customers quicker than Apple’s gift cards ever could.
