Apple's Black Friday ad possibly leaked?

Boy Genius Report claims to have gotten its hands on Apple's Black Friday brochure. Although they had posted another brochure earlier that made less than credible claims of 30% iPod discounts and 25% Mac discounts, BGR claims this newest ad comes from "a pretty credible connect of ours." The new ad's discounts are also more in line with Apple's previous Black Friday deals, which tend to be fairly modest compared to other retailers.

Below are a few of the discounts on the "leaked" ad:
iMac: $101 off
MacBook Pro: $51-$101 off
iPod nano: $11 off
iPod touch: $21-$41 off

Boy Genius Report notes that these deals apply only on the online store, not at Apple's retail stores.

Though this ad seems legitimate on the face of it, it's worth noting that pretty much everyone here at TUAW agreed Boy Genius Report's last "leaked" ad was a fake. So take this latest "leak" with a grain of salt. However, after taking into account Apple's Black Friday deals in earlier years, whatever discounts it offers this year are at least likely to be similar to this latest ad leak whether it's the real deal or not.

The question for me (a student) is if this stacks with the education discount, which I doubt.

I can clear it up for you easily. Apple's "sale" will offer the same price you can buy their products at every other day of the year from MacMall, MacZone, Amazon, and virtually every other authorized reseller - which is typically 7% off the Apple list price.

Obvious fake. Why would Apple create a print ad for only deals at the online store?

Congratulations TUAW for posting an obvious fake because you believe there's always a slim possibility it might be real. It's just as obnoxious to re-report fake news as it is to report it.

We'll know it's real when the C&D comes through and the posting disappears at BGR.
