Earlier this week, Apple posted a teaser confirming that dozens of great iPad, iPod and Mac gifts were scheduled to emerge on November 26, the day Apple and other hardware & software vendors celebrate Black Friday this year.

Black Friday is the day following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, traditionally the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. Black Friday is mostly associated with special sales and promotions that retailers use to encourage shoppers to use the holiday weekend for shopping.

“The special one-day Apple shopping event. November 26,” Apple said a few days back. “Come back to the Apple Online Store the day after Thanksgiving for a special one-day-only holiday shopping event. You’ll find dozens of great iPad, iPod, and Mac gifts for everyone on your list,” the company stated.

“Mark your calendars now. And until then, get started by browsing the Apple Online Store for great ideas,” Apple’s message ends.

As expected, Australians are the first to catch a glimpse of Apple’s latest offerings in terms of discounted hardware and accessories.

The offers on Apple’s key product offerings can be found below:

iMac From A$ 1,328.00 Was A$ 1,449.00 Save A$ 121.00

MacBook Pro From A$ 1,328.00 Was A$ 1,449.00 Save A$ 121.00

13" MacBook Air From A$ 1,478.00 Was A$ 1,599.00 Save A$ 121.00

iPod nano From A$ 184.00 Was A$ 199.00 Save up to A$ 25.00

iPad From A$ 578.00 Was A$ 629.00 Save A$ 51.00

iPod touch From A$ 264.00 Was A$ 289 Save up to A$ 51

As expected, the iPhone is nowhere to be found among the Black Friday listings.

However, Apple does extend the Black Friday deals to accessories like iPad cases, iPad camera connection kits, the company’s aluminum wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse, docking stations and headphones, as well as AirPort and Time Capsule base stations.
