Are you ready for Black Friday? Apple sure is, with the company announcing on Tuesday that “every gift list has its day” -- and that day is this Friday, when the company’s online store offers special one-day only discounts.

Apple has announced its annual Black Friday event, billed as a “special one-day Apple shopping event” this Friday, November 25. For those in the United States, that date is better known as Black Friday, the day many retailers count on for a huge surge in sales to get their fiscal bottom line into the black for the year in the wake of Thursday’s Thanksgiving holiday.

Even though Black Friday seems to be creeping earlier and earlier with many retailers pushing the celebration back into Thanksgiving itself, Apple is sticking with tradition for its annual online event.

“Mark your calendar now, and come back to the Apple Online Store the day after Thanksgiving for the special one-day event,” the website announced on Tuesday. “You’ll discover amazing iPad, iPod, and Mac gifts for everyone on your list. Until then, browse the Apple Online Store for great ideas.”

In reality, most of the Apple Black Friday discounts are usually quite modest, but since the company rarely discounts its products to begin with, let’s not look a gift horse in the mouth. If you’re in the market for anything in the three product categories listed above, it’s worth dropping by the Apple Online Store on Friday to check it out!
