Over the past several years, Apple has arranged a one-day shopping event with reduced prices at several products, and this year is no exception. Apple invites you to this year’s one-day shopping event which, as usually, takes place the day after Thanksgiving, which is historically one of the busiest shopping days and it is this Friday, November 27th only, and several Apple Stores are said to be open at 6am on that day. The reduced prices counts also Apple Online Store as you can see below.

Apple hasn’t announced how much the prices are reduced, but Boy Genius Report has posted a supposed leak of the products that Apple will reduce the price on and it contains among other iMac ($101 off), MacBook Pro ($51-$101 off), iPod Nano ($11 off), and iPod Touch ($21-$41 off). The sale also includes Apple TV, iWork, Nike + iPod, Apple Magic Mouse and Wireless Keyboard and many other products including a lot of iPhone accessories. You can see below, what prices we can expect if Boy Genius Report has reliable sources.
