If you are in the market for some new Apple goodies you might just want to wait one more week before ordering. Apple is likely to run a Black Friday promotion in the UK on Friday 23 November, and you could see savings of as much as £81 of a MacBook Air on that day.
Last year Apple held a Black Friday promotion in the UK in which the company discounted various products in its online store.
The one-day sale is a tradition in the US where it falls the day after Thanksgiving. The day is known as Black Friday and traditionally kicks off the Christmas shopping season.
No deals have been revealed yet for this year, however, you can expect discounts on iPads, iPods and Macs if you purchase products online that day.
Apple has run the promotion here in the UK for some years. In 2009 Apple's discounts included £71 off a iMac, while last year Apple offered £81 of an iMac. This year Apple may not even have an iMac on sale on Black Friday as new iMacs have been delayed, and delivery before Christmas is unlikely.
Alongside £81 off an iMac, last year Apple was offering £81 off all models of MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. You could also get £51 off an iPad 2 and £15 off an iPod touch. Lots of other products were also discounted including the Time Capsule and Airport. You could even get a £50 iTunes voucher for £45.
Apple also offered a number of non-Apple products at a knocked-down price including Elgato Tivizen, Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air and Epson Home Cinema Projector.
Amazon also has a Black Friday sale which will run all week (from 19 - 25 November). Amazon has a Black Friday page live here.

All I want right now is the cellular version of the iPad 4...shame it's only available in the US with no way to even pre-order here in the UK...

Nice to know we might be in for a discount .....although, due to the atrocious spelling/grammar, it's hard to tell! "You could also get £51 OF an iPad 2 and £15 OF an iPod touch". If you read it aloud, as it's written, it sounds more like a recipe.
