The Black Friday sales, so why not bag yourself a bargain
0:03
Yes, online or in store. There are plenty of deals to help you with your Christmas shopping today
0:08
It is, in fact, the perfect day to start, I think. I think it probably is, so that's why we've got our technology editor
0:12
Aaron Brown, with us this morning, delving through all the very best deals, Aaron
0:16
What have you got? We're going to start with iPhone. It's a popular choice of one set
0:20
Oh, my mum's looking for an iPhone today. Perfect. OK, well, Apple has launched its annual Black Friday shopping event
0:27
They don't actually offer any discounts, though. Oh, that's clever. Yeah, they only give you a gift card based on the item you're buying
0:34
It's up to £200 that you can get to spend on other things in the Apple Store. It's not too bad
0:38
You will need to buy basically a MacBook Pro to get the top £200
0:43
If you're looking for a phone, it tops out at around £40. Well, that doesn't buy you much then, does it, in an Apple Store
0:49
I mean, it might get you a case or something. That's kind of what you're looking at. Or a cable or a lead or something
0:54
Socket. So better than that rather than the gift card on an iPhone 16e from Apple I recommend going to Amazon that have knocked off the price So it on the market That a great deal isn it that one And you could use the savings to buy a couple of cases if you wanted and you still have
1:09
some money in the back. Oh, that's a better way. But are we a bit sceptical normally about buying..
1:15
Because we tend to think, don't we, if you're going to buy an Apple phone, you would buy
1:19
it from Apple? Yes. That seems to be our mentality rather than buying it from a third party
1:24
Yeah, and they do offer some perks like personalised engraving and things like that that you can only get from them
1:30
But, you know, reputable online resellers like Amazon, AO, Curry's, you know, you're going to get a good level of service with those
1:37
And if something goes wrong, you can always go to your nearest Apple store to get a service as well
1:40
Oh, that's worth knowing. Yeah, because I wouldn't think about using Amazon to buy my tech necessarily
1:45
but that's a good idea. Good tip. Samsung as well. Oh, yes. Oh. Samsung's website was here
1:50
And they were offering up to £250 off their Galaxy S25 series
1:56
and Galaxy Fold and Flip 7, as Stephen, you mentioned earlier. Yeah well actually I mean the Fold and Flip they not a bad deal because they new they only just come out Exactly But the S25 Yes going to be replaced Yeah they usually refresh those phones around January February time
2:13
so you won't have the latest... ..you won't have the latest kit for too long on that one
2:21
But a little bonus with Samsung, if you have an old phone to send in
2:25
they'll give you an extra £100 off on top of the £250, and it can be any phone
2:29
It can be broken. It can be an old Nokia 3310. Anything you want
2:33
Oh, that's good then. Sticking with the Android, a lesser-known option maybe
2:37
is the British brand Nothing, which fewer people have heard of. I haven't heard of that, no
2:41
So they've won a number of design awards for their sort of transparent look
2:46
It runs Android the same as you'll find on a Samsung phone. Their phones are now starting from £274
2:52
They've also got some over-ear headphones, which are £100 off, and their AirPod-like earbuds are now under £60 as well
2:59
That's from their website and Amazon A.O. Curry's. All the usual players John Lewis have price those as well Really good prices on there It interesting because nothing have been making quite an impact I mean on a global stage actually Yes massively Yeah they only five years old They based in the UK
3:14
which, you know, is a few... Very good. Exactly, yeah. And, as you said
3:18
made a big splash. Oh, good. Shall we just touch on the
3:22
getaways? Yes. Because I don't think many people know about this, because you think about it
3:26
Black Friday, getting presents and getting Christmas shopping sorted. It's also a really good
3:30
time to look at your holidays. Exactly, yeah. EasyJet are doing flights from
3:34
£14.99 at the moment on their deals. And then British Airways, some of their best deals are on long-haul flights
3:41
So if you're planning a trip a bit further afield, you can get some good deals on flights. Package holidays as well
3:46
I know we mentioned that earlier. They're offering up to £300 off, but that's if you spend £10,000 on a package holiday
3:51
That is steep, though, isn't it? £10,000. That might be harder to hit than TUI, for example
3:57
which is offering £300 off as well, but the threshold there is only £3,500
4:02
to get the same £300 discount. So if you're looking for package holidays
4:06
maybe that's a better bet. Maybe two is the one to go to today. Still a lot of money to spend
4:10
It is. Lovely, Aaron, thank you
