King Apple doesn't usually bless us with discounts, but Black Friday and Cyber Weekend are the one exception.

While Apple's Black Friday deal this year isn't technically a discount on any products, from Nov. 25 through Nov. 28, you'll snag a gift card worth up to $250 with eligible purchases of Apple products directly from Apple.com. This pretty much matches the promotion Apple ran last year for Cyber Weekend, and we're sure this is the best we'll see from the tech giant this year.

Here's the full rundown of Apple's Black Friday gift card deals:

• iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 12, or iPhone SE — $50 Apple gift card

• AirPods Pro (2nd-gen), AirPods (2nd-gen), AirPods (3rd generation) with Lightning Charging Case, and AirPods Max — up to a $75 Apple gift card

• Apple Watch SE — $50 Apple gift card

• iPad Air, iPad (9th generation), and iPad mini — up to a $50 Apple gift card

• MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and iMac — up to a $250 Apple gift card

• Magic Keyboard, Smart Keyboard Folio, Apple Pencil (2nd generation), and MagSafe Duo Charger — up to a $50 gift card

• Beats Studio3 Wireless, Solo3 Wireless, Powerbeats Pro, Beats Fit Pro, Beats Studio Buds, or Beats Flex — up to a $50 gift card

Note that each of these gift cards can only be used for a purchase at a later date (you can't put it toward your Black Friday purchase), and the exact amount you get depends on the specific product you buy. Want that fat $250 gift card? You'll likely have to cash out on one of the pricier MacBooks.
