This year Black Friday falls on Friday November 26. It is always the day after the American holiday Thanksgiving, which always falls on the fourth Thursday of November.

Although not impossible, Apple itself is unlikely to offer much in the way of discounts – the iPhone SE is already fairly affordable and highly sought after.
