Apple to discount products on Black Friday

Apple Inc. will offer discounts on some products and free two-day delivery on Black Friday. In an ad scant with details posted to its website late Monday, the company announced a "one-day shopping event" for Friday, Nov. 25. Apple does not say what products will be included in the daily deals, but the photo on the ad specifically features Apple Watch, while links to other "holiday gift collections" range from devices to music and photography. It even offers a slew of games and toys, such as small plastic robots. It's unclear whether the iPhone 7 or iPhone 7S will be included, though the company has offered holiday deals on devices on past Black Friday events. Shares of Apple traded flat around $111.72 on Tuesday morning. They've risen 3% in the past three months, virtually in line with the Dow Jones Industrial Average , but have underperformed on the year, declining by more than 6% while the index has increased by 6%. Last month, Apple reported its first ever annual decline in iPhone sales.
