Everybody loves Black Friday, but Apple walks to its own beat, so the Cupertino tech giant tends not to offer outrageous discounts on its premium product lines. That's not to say Apple doesn't do discounts at this time of year, though, while other retailers who sell Apple products often take matters into their own hands too. Here's a look at the best iPhone and iPad Black Friday deals for 2017.

Apple's one-day Black Friday event
Apple itself ran a special 24-hour sales promotion last Black Friday, so we're hoping we'll see something like that again. It wasn't Apple products themselves that were discounted, mind you, but instead buyers would receive Apple gift cards along with their purchases that could be spent on... more Apple products. Those crazy kids. Here's the Apple gift card offers that were included in last year's promotion:
- iPad Pro: $100
- iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 4: $50
- iPhone 6S and 6S Plus: $50
- iPhone SE: $25
Hopefully we'll see a more expansive approach from Apple for Black Friday 2017.
