In the US, Black Friday - the day after Thanksgiving that marks the start of the holiday shopping season - sees retailers offering once-a-year deals on most-wanted devices, electronics and appliances.

What do I need to know?
Apple is imposing some limits on the deal. In addition to only being active for 24 hours, the offer is limited to two 'promotional products' per customer - so if you pick up three included items from Apple, you'll only receive gift cards for two. Andf you decide to return or exchange any of the above products, you'll also need to return your included Gift Card in order to receive a full refund.
Gift Cards can be used at any Apple Store or through apple.com, and your balance can be checked at any time via Apple. Your card won't come with an expiration date, but customers should be aware that Apple Gift Cards cannot be used for iTunes or App Store purchases.
Apple's Black Friday Gift Card offer is live now for one day only. If you're picking up a new, unlocked iPhone, be sure to browse our SIM-only plans below to find the best talk, text and data deal for your device.
