As the UK braces for Black Friday, retailers are beginning to announce the deals they will be offering on what has become one of the busiest shopping days of the year.
Apple tends not to take part in the Black Friday sales bonanza, though last year the tech giant did give free gift cards worth up to £120 with the purchase of certain products. It is not yet known whether the same will be offered in 2017.
Other retailers that stock Apple products are expected to offer discounts on iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks.
Argos already has a deal in place that gives 10 per cent off the 10.5 inch iPad Pro, while Currys is offering up to £200 off the MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. FIND THE DEALS HERE
Those hoping to nab a discounted iPhone 8 in the sales can expect the deals to start pouring in as we edge closer to Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Last year, British bargain-hunters could get an iPhone 7 with 32GB of storage for £100 on a £31.50 per month contract – a saving of £100.
Apple fans should look out for sales at the following stores for the best chance of picking up a deal: Mobiles.co.uk, Argos, Currys, PC World and the Carphone Warehouse.
