Apple publishes 2016 Holiday Gifts guide promoting iPhone 7, other core products

Instead of offering up last year's categories, the 2016 guide highlights specific devices: the iPhone 7, Apple Watch, iPad Pro, 12-inch MacBook, and Apple TV. Each product except for the Apple TV is accompanied by a pair of suggested accessories, and a link to see more.

All other possible gift ideas are relegated to three categories at the bottom — Music, Photography, and Games & Toys — plus the suggestion of gift cards as an alternative.

In the U.S., Apple is offering free two-day shipping through the holidays, as long as items are in-stock and ordered before 5 p.m. — iPhones can be delivered in just one day. People can't, however, get accelerated shipping on any engraved products or custom-built Mac configurations.

Shipping deals can vary considerably in other countries. In Canada for example the company is only offering free standard shipping, but Australia is promising next-day delivery in most major cities if an item costs over $250 and is ordered before 2 p.m. Otherwise, only free standard shipping is available.
