Black Friday 2016 Deals news: Apple joins the holiday shopping frenzy, teases Black Friday sales

Black Friday 2016 has just gotten more exciting with Apple hinting to join the sales frenzy.

Apple has not been known as a major player in the annual Black Friday in which several brands and shopping stores release amazing deals that can go from $10 discounts up to 50 percent offers off the price on sought-after electronic gadgets and appliances.

This week, Apple surprised fans and Black Friday shoppers. The Cupertino-based tech giant opened a new section on its official website clearly hinting surprises that await everyone in time for the Black Friday 2016 shopping frenzy.

Apple notes in the newly opened page, "Our one-day shopping event will be here before you know it. Come back this Friday to check everyone off your list."

The webpage contains an image of an Apple Watch that has its calendar set on Friday, Nov. 25 with the note that says, "Save the date." Other details about the Black Friday sale are little to none for now for the one-day sale event.

Fortune reported that Apple also sent email notifications to its customers about the sale event, hinting also that the sales might be available through its online and physical stores. However, the same report also noted how Apple played in the past Black Friday sales.

According to the report, critics have been disappointed with Apple's Black Friday offers in the previous years since "they were hardly sales at all." As an example, the report mentioned of a time when Apple put Macs — that cost thousands — on Black Friday sale but slashing a scanty $100 off the regular price.

Last year, Apple skipped the annual shopping craze. In a report about why Apple did not join one of the biggest annual trades, 9To5Mac reported that the reason behind it was, as per Senior Vice President of Retail and Online Stores Angela Ahrendts, "being good to your employees will always be good for business."
