Overview
- The gift card offer is already live in Australia and New Zealand after brief storefront outages there.
- The store is offline in the U.K. and parts of Europe, and the U.S. storefront is displaying a “be right back” message with Canada expected next.
- Apple’s promotion runs November 28 through December 1 and adds a gift card with eligible purchases rather than cutting list prices.
- In the U.S., gift card values range from $25 to $200, according to Apple’s announcement reported by MacRumors.
- Coverage stresses this is routine maintenance for the annual event and not a signal of new product launches, and notes resellers like Amazon may offer steeper direct discounts.
