Black Friday 2016: Best Apple deals on iPhones, iPads, Apple Watch and Mac

Usually one to sit out Black Friday, Apple is getting involved this year with discounts and deals for the one-day shopping spectacular.

But unfortunately, Apple hasn't actually reduced any of its prices. Instead, the company is giving out gift cards with a range of purchases. These gift cards range from £20 for an Apple Watch Series One, up to £120 for certain Macs.

Here's how it works:

• £20 gift card - When you buy an Apple Watch Series One, or an Apple TV
• £40 gift card - When you buy an iPhone SE, 6S or 6S Plus
• £80 gift card - When you buy an iPad Pro, iPad Air 2 or iPad mini 4
• £120 gift card - When you buy a selected MacBook, iMac or Mac Pro

In much better nows, however, third-party Apple retailers like the KRCS Group are getting involved - and they have actually reduced their prices for Black Friday. There is money off a wide range of Apple products, including the iPhone 7.

The KRCS discounts, which are available in-store and online throughout Black Friday, are:

• 4% off iPhone
• 6% off iPad mini
• 6% off Apple Watch
• 8% off iPad
• 10% off Apple TV
• 12% off Mac
• 14% off Beats audio products

Sticking with the Apple theme, the retailer is knocking £100 off the brand-new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, taking the entry-level price of the 15in model down to £2,249.
