Target and Best Buy giving out $50 and $60 gift cards with iPad, iPod touch purchases
Discount retailer Target is giving away $60 gift cards with each iPad with Retina display purchase, while Best Buy is offering up a $50 gift card of its own with each new iPod touch. You can also get a $100 iTunes Gift Card for $80.
As noted earlier in our Price Guides, Target is giving away a $60 gift card with each iPad purchase (excluding the iPad mini) while supplies last. Most of the 4th-generation iPads remain available for sale online, but the 16GB models have sold out and shoppers must go to a Target retail store for those models.
Meanwhile, Best Buy is serving up $50 gift cards with the purchase of the latest generation iPod touch (all colors) ($294.99) and 4th generation iPod touch ($194.99). A similar deal on the iPod nano throws in a $20 gift card ($194.99).
Also, as in years past, Best Buy is selling $100 iTunes Gift Cards for $80.

Since Apple and their resellers are offering discounts on pretty much everything except the Mini, it seems like they're selling pretty well at the price they're at. Wonder what the haters think about that haha.
IMO it's the opposite. The high margin product, the iPad4, just came out last month, and it's already more than 10% off ($60 of $499). the iPad3, has been selling at $379 for a long time and still not sold out. We're talking about big hit on the margin this holiday season for the iPads, except the iPad minis, but that's already a low revenue product starting at $329.
All these is unprecedented for AAPL and certainly not good news.

It's Black frigging Friday. Even Apple has it $40-60 off. What's the big deal?
Yeah, they made a dang lot and people bought a dang lot. No retailer expected Apple to break their yearly cycle, so they had a bunch of stock left.
The same "hit" taken every single year.

Does 'unprecedented' mean 'happens every year' now?
If anyone ears about an iTunes gift card special in Canada I am interested. I need to reload. Needs about 200$ worth.

Well, I think we all know that during past years, iPads were only sold for 10% off tops on Black Friday that's it. This year is different, as from what I listed above, we're talking about more than 10% hit for iPad4 and way more than 10% hit on iPad3, and a new lower margin product in iPad mini. So, obviously it's not the same as 'happens every year' like you claimed.

London Drugs is doing it here in Saskatchewan at least

Which is exactly what they are now; what's your point? Are you even looking at what is being offered this year?

I give up. How's 60/499 or 379/499 10% off?
They're also taking 60 dollars off iPad 4's at best buy, plus 150 bucks off MacBooks, which beats the pants off Apple's ridiculous Blaxk Friday "sale."

Merchants always beat Apple stores rebates. Last year in Canada it was stamples who had the best ipads rebate.
The ipad3 is a discontinued product so i am not sure whats youre point? If you want to imply that Apple is in some kind of trouble and needs to make bigger rebates this year you are dead wrong imo...
