The Apple Store has posted its highly anticipated Black Friday deals. Apple has discounted mid-range iMacs and MacBooks. They have discounted the iPod touch by $21. iPods are also $21 cheaper and iPod nanos are $11 off. There are also discounts on Apple accessories including speakers, headphones, bags and cases.
Overall the discounts are not as steep as some analysts had been expecting. Macrumors says, "This also means that analysts were once again wrong after predicting discounts up to 15% from Apple this year. Those looking for more significant Mac discounts will have better luck at 3rd party retailers." VentureBeat says it is notable what Apple has not been discounted - MacBook Pros and iPhones.
After a few hours of downtime to prepare for the big Black Friday sale, Apple's online store has just come back to life. While you can find savings on iMacs, MacBooks, iPod touches, iPod classics, iPod nanos and the Apple TV, it's just as noteworthy what isn't getting discounted: MacBook Pros and iPhones.
Gizmodo writes that the Apple Store has also added some good discounts on third-party products such as the Sanyo Xacti VPC-E2 waterproof camcorder.
