Why is AI making Black Friday out to be an Apple special event. It's just a damn sale. Every year Apple gives discounts on Black Friday in the same range. So this year it's gift cards instead of a deduction from the product. Big freaken deal. You're updating us as soon as Australian Appke stores open like its a new product that's being sold. Find some real news.
To be honest, I am glad to have read this commercial.
Bought that drone! Exactly what I was looking for!
I bought the Micro Drone 2.0. No idea when I get it but I don't need it by Xmas so I'm not worried.
Wow thanks for the deal! I have bought the micro drone too. Looks like a nice gadget to have :)
