If you’re holding your breath, waiting for the Apple Store Black Friday discounts to appear, then I have some bad news for you - Apple Store Australia discounts are online, and I’m sorry to say that they are very lackluster.

Here’s a rundown:

  • Best discount - 7.7% off the 13″ MacBook 2.0GHz
  • Poorest discount - 3.8% off the iMac 20-inch 2.4GHz
  • No iPhone discount

UPDATE …

Apple Store UK price cuts have been unveiled, and they’re equally timid …
