Apple has confirmed that it will be participating in 2013's Black Friday festivities.

An ad posted on Apple's Australian site reveals that Apple will indeed be offering deals during shoppers' favorite day of the year, the day after Thanksgiving.

"The one-day Apple shopping event is Friday, 29 November," the advertisement reads. "Shop online and get free shipping, or visit your favourite Apple Retail Store."

The advertisement did not reveal what these discounts will be exactly.

We can, however, look at last year's Black Friday deals, according to Mac Rumors, as a way of predicting how much of a discount Apple will be offering shoppers this year:

- iPad with Retina Display - $41 Off
- iPad 2 - $31 Off
- iPod touch - $ 31 Off
- iPod touch 4th Generation - $21 Off
- iPod nano - $11 Off
- MacBook Pro with Retina - $101 Off
- MacBook Pro - $101 Off
- MacBook Air - $101 Off

According to blogs, however, the best place to get Apple products on Black Friday is not Apple, but third-party retailers.

Here is a list of some of the deals third-party retailers will be offering on Apple products on Black Friday.
