If you hit Apple’s official website this morning in twelve o’clock, then you must notice that those Apple products were much cheaper than before, but what I said “you” just means consumers in Asia, especially in China, this promotion activity of Apple is called Red Friday, which aims to celebrate the Year of the Dragon in China.

So if you live in China, Taiwan, Thailand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore or the Philippines, you are one of the beneficiaries. Red Friday is similar to Black Friday in that you don’t get to know what the actual sales prices will be in advance. So if you’re in one of these countries, and you’re looking for an Apple bargain to start the Year of the Dragon, head over to your country’s Apple store quickly, because this promotion just has one day, if you wake up in the morning the second day, you won’t stand a chance.

As for discounts, most products, including iPads, MacBooks, and iMacs appear to be on sale for in between 5% and 10% off. In Hong Kong, Apple is offering discounts of roughly 8% on Wi-Fi iPad models across the board, while 3G-capable models are seeing slightly smaller discounts of 6-7%, if you finally decide to buy an iPad 2, you must know how to sync ipad 2 to computer, trust me, you will meet this demand after you having an iDevice.

Usually, Mac is too expensive for most of us, but you deadly want one, right? Don’t say you still can’t afford it after discounting, even it’s true, you shouldn’t have a second idea, because you will never have another chance to get one that is cheaper like now. Apple is offering a flat HK$ 770 discount on all MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and iMac models. That discount translates to a 10% discount on the low-end MacBook Air, decreasing to 4% on the high-end MacBook Pro. There are also discounts on all mobile devices, home computers, wireless keyboards and other computer accessories, speaker systems, cases and software.

And if you have been looking forward to an iPod touch for a long time, this is your chance. The iPod touch is seeing approximately 10% discounts on all models, so get your chance and take one, after you become an iPod user, there is a trick you need to know to make the most of your device, which is how to transfer music from ipod to computer. Ok, back to the promotion, the iPod nano is seeing a flat HK$ 80 discount that equates to an 8% discount on the 8 GB model and a 6.7% discount on the 16 GB model.

Apple has seen major growth and adoption of its products in Asian markets, particularly in China, and is looking to expand its reach by conducting sales and announcement of products internationally around key dates in the Asian calendar.

But no matter what their purpose is, to make money or dominate Asia market or whatever, as fans of Apple products, we just want to have more chances like this.
