    So Friday is Apples one day sale event. They're not well known for reducing their prices or having sales so anyone have any idea what to expect from this?

    I got a MacBook Air last year and got 10% off. I think this is pretty typical.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 268 ✭✭NetNinja


    Can the discount be used along with the educational discount / pricing?

    Shame the new imac's aren't available yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,971 ✭✭✭_Whimsical_

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,036 ✭✭✭BArra


    they are employed by apple or know somebody who is. they get a few discounts every year over their product range


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,971 ✭✭✭_Whimsical_


    If anyone has a 27% or 28% discount they aren't using....please can I have it? I am willing to be adopted or marry you etc in order to fulfill any legal necessities for eligibility. :) Would be willing to offer 50 quid in exchange either.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,691 ✭✭✭✭drunkmonkey


    What time does it usually start?

    Edit:
    Not tonight : )


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,386 ✭✭✭another question


    Anyone know at what time this is expected to start?

    Does anyone know if having something engraved by apple delays delivery by much? Or will it affect your warranty or right of return ?

    Also there's 1% off iPhone 5, iPad mini and iPad with Retina Display purchases and 2% off everything else if you use www.fatcheese.com . It'll yield at least a fiver. Not much but better than nothing.

    Engraving does not affect your warranty, but you do lose out on their 14 day return policy.

    Eh midnight tonight?

    I recently ordered on www.apple.ie for my cousin. Got an iPad 4 with her name engraved on it. Ordered it one evening and had it within 10 days.

    I bought through Pigsback at 5 points per €1 spent. Works out at over 2000 points so that will pay for one of their megadeals for me :D

    There pretty terrible discounts and the lack of even a few euro off the ipad mini or a lightning usb cable is like something out of scrooge. Bah Humbug!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,139 ✭✭✭Red Crow


    That sucks tbh. Was hoping for some minis


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,998 ✭✭✭Shane732

    €41 off new iPad and €15 off Polyutherene cases!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,691 ✭✭✭✭drunkmonkey


    It's shockingly bad. Black friday it is.

    Compared to the German link I had posted, most of there stuff was a bit cheaper but same amount off.

    I still bought a new case for my iPad can't wait to get it now :-)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,374 ✭✭✭FourFourRED

    I was going to get one but they look a bit on the cheap side. Maybe it's the gaudy colours but they weren't floating my boat.

    Love people's reactions to how bad this is! Go ahead and pay full price if you'd like, I'll take any discount they offer.

    That doesn't make it a good sale! No iPad Mini=Bad sale.

    The funny thing is everyone knew in advance that it would be in the 10% range, just like every other year, yet still wait up to express disappointment.

    Do people really expect a bargain bucket of €50 ipads!

    IPads are reduced just not the mini. All the Black Friday sales are disappointing this year.

    For some people you just can't criticise Apple at all. That's really obvious in this thread. The sale sucks.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 32,865 ✭✭✭✭MagicMarker


    Not even a cent off the iPod Classic, considering they actually increased in price by about 30 quid when they announced all the new stuff a few months back that's actually ridiculous.

    this is actually what i was looking for! i remember them being €229 not so long ago. what a rip off at €269.
    amazon have them for £176!

    also not to mention that black friday is an american thing and we're lucky to even have it at all considering thanksgiving is an american holiday.

    Yes they're ruining this great Irish tradition :rolleyes:

    Who mentioned anything about an Irish holiday?

    You're being very silly.

    and being disappointed at the discounts isn't silly?

    apple could up their prices of their consumer range by 10% tomorrow and people will still pay it.
