Hello there!
Well, i was very happy with my 15 Pro 256Gb Blue Ti until today that a familly member comes by home and said he want to buy my iphone since he dont want to wait for the shipping of a new one blablabla and i ended up selling it at cost LOL... but now, i want to buy a new one, and i really doesnt know if is possible to get a good deal from apple (or any other site) for a 15 PM 256GB Without any contract (Unlocked) on black friday or if waiting is not working at all and just order now...

Do somebody have previous years experience about this?

Thanks !

I wouldn’t put my hopes up too high as the stores currently are not having a hard time selling these things. There’re more often out of stock than they’re available. Some of them are even selling the 15 PM above the Apple store price tag.

The best you’ll get from Apple is a gift card for Black Friday, as already mentioned they don’t need a sale to sell products.

Carriers might offer deals, but that’s no good if you want to buy just the phone.

The new iPhones will not be on sale on Black Friday. A friend of mine tried that with the 13 Pro Max and was unsuccessful same price. So I won’t expect that to change. It’s still too new.

Oh no, i know apple never drops prices on their iphones, but sometimes they include a gift card, and it is what i'm asking if is possible, i dont remember what they give last year, and dont know if is a good option to wait

I don't think Apple typically gives gift cards on the current/latest model phones. Last year, for example, $50 gift cards were only on new SE, 12, 13, and 13 mini iPhones but nothing on the 14 models. I imagine this year will be similar with gift cards only on new SE, 13, 14, and 14 Plus iPhones but nothing on 15 models.

I would not expect apple to hand out gift cards when buying the 15’s. Apple has never done that with the new iphone line up, maybe older generations but not on the new line ups.
