![Apple Records Best-Ever Sales on Black Friday [REPORT]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/05VbLtdKL1qQNeNAznw6BNX/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647020444.jpg)
Apple sales broke all records this Black Friday, 9to5Mac reports citing inside sources.
Apple's forecast for Black Friday sales is four times more than normal; according to 9to5Mac's source, Apple broke that forecast by 7pm this year.
While we don't have the exact numbers for individual categories, MacBook Air sales were reportedly particularly good. Apple had offered a $101 discount for MacBook Pro, iMac and MacBook Air this year.
One reason why Apple did so well this year, in spite of somewhat lackluster discounts, was probably the fact that this Black Friday was particularly hot when it comes to online shopping. According to a report from comScore, Black Friday saw $816 million in online sales, a 26-percent increase over last year. IBM's data suggests a similar surge, with Black Friday online sales rising 24.3% compared to last year.
