Apple's 2025 Black Friday Event Offers Up to $250 Gift Card With Purchase

Apple has officially unveiled its 2025 Shopping Event, bringing back its popular gift card promotion just in time for the holiday season. Starting on Black Friday, customers can receive an Apple Gift Card worth up to $250 with the purchase of eligible products.

The four-day event begins on November 28 and runs through Cyber Monday, December 1. The offer is valid for purchases made both on the Apple Online Store and at Apple retail locations. As with previous years, the gift cards can be used toward future purchases of hardware, apps, and subscriptions, though they cannot be applied to the immediate purchase.



The highest reward tier is reserved for the Mac lineup. Customers can receive a gift card up to $250 when purchasing a MacBook Pro powered by the M4 Pro or M4 Max chip, a MacBook Air, an iMac, or a Mac mini. Notably, the recently announced M5 MacBook Pro and M5 iPad Pro are not listed as eligible, as the promotion generally targets previous-generation or established inventory.


For iPhone buyers, Apple is offering a gift card of up to $75 with the purchase of an iPhone 16 or iPhone 16e. This excludes the flagship iPhone 17 lineup released in September. On the tablet side, purchasing an iPad Air, iPad (A16), or iPad mini can secure a gift card worth up to $100.

In a move that will please those looking to upgrade their wearables, the promotion includes the new Apple Watch Series 11 and Apple Watch SE 3, which come with a $50 gift card. Audio accessories are also eligible, with up to $75 available for buyers of the AirPods Max, AirPods Pro 3, or AirPods 4.

Rounding out the offer, Apple is providing up to $50 gift cards for HomePod and Apple TV 4K purchases, as well as select Beats headphones. Accessories like the Magic Keyboard for iPad Air and Apple Pencil Pro include a $25 card.


These offers can be combined with Apple Trade In values, allowing customers to lower the upfront cost further by exchanging their current devices.
