Black Friday deals are upon us as you read this, and it’s the ideal time of the year to get a bargain on your coveted products. While almost everything gets a discount this Friday (and for a few days to come), it’s quite a fact that Apple’s offerings are some of the most sought after ones. Now, the good thing is that the fruit company, in keeping up with the Thanksgiving tradition, puts their products out on discount almost every year, but at the same time, they don’t do it much for newer products (especially the new iPhones). Still, there are deals that you’ll be happy to score, and we’re listing down some of the best ones in town.
Black Friday isn't just a day for getting in line outside your nearest big box retailer in the hope that you'll be able to snag that big screen TV or the last remaining Furby. These days the fun happens just as much online as it does on the high street, and that goes for digital stores as well. Sales are currently kicking off all over the internet, and Apple's iOS App Store is no different.

Having seen both Grand Theft Auto 3 and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City both ported to mobile devices in recent years, the news that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas will be headed to Android, iOS and Windows Phone devices next month shouldn't come as a great surprise. However, while we suspected Rockstar Games would oblige, the announcement of San Andreas's imminent release is no less exciting, and with both the previous two GTA ports for mobile proving very successful, one suspects this one will prove just as popular.
Sometimes it's easy to forget that Apple's iPad isn't the only tablet in town. The world may sit up and take notice whenever Apple's announced a new iPad as shown by the latest iPad Air and iPad mini releases, but the same can't be said about the competition. That's why that competition often tries to gain notoriety by prodding Apple and sometimes even the people that buy its products. Yes, we're looking at you Samsung.
The folks of Square Enix are back with another App Store installment of Final Fantasy for fans of the series to enjoy. The long-running series, which has been around for well over a decade now, has already seen a number of releases on Apple's iOS - some notably more successful than others - and after Final Fantasy IV seemed to finally get things right, its sequel has just arrived for iOS and Android. Final Fantasy IV: The After Years is now ready to download worldwide, and you can check out the 2-minute trailer after the break.
Honda may have already announced earlier this year that it would support Apple's Siri Eyes Free feature in some of its cars, but the Japanese car maker hasn't stopped there.

Apple's iPad may be used by many of us to play games, view video clips and catch up with bits of work on-the-fly, but as the Cupertino cpmany has pointed out before, the tablet can be life-changing to some. To once again show some of the different benefits of owning an iPad, the Cupertino giant has launched a new webpage entitled "Life on iPad," highlighting a myriad of industries and situations currently taking advantage of the market-leading slate.
Getting photos off of our iOS devices is the kind of thing that can be a deadly serious subject for many of us. If you've got kids, being able to ensure that your photos are safe and secure in the event of a lost or stolen phone can be the most important thing in the world at times. Apple's Photo Stream and iCloud backups go some way towards filling the hole for some people, but there are other ways of getting images and videos off of iPhones and iPads. Those options now include Microsoft's SkyDrive.
Any good console game that's worth its place at the top of the gaming charts will invariably have an accompany mobile app to compliment it. It seems to be commonplace for game publishers to bolster the launch of their title by offering a mobile app on the likes of iOS and Android that comes with varying functionality. Electronic Arts is undoubtedly one of the biggest players in the video gaming world, and as such have become the latest development house to launch an app to accompany their hugely popular Battlefield 4 console game.
