The USA is good at many things, including epic Black Friday sales.
Black Friday takes place on 25 November 2016, the day after Thanksgiving in the United States.
Many local retailers are holding Black Friday sales in South Africa, but to see where the trend started, we must look across the Atlantic.
Since 1932, it has marked the beginning of the Christmas shopping season, with retailers opening earlier and closing later than usual and offering huge discounts on stock.
Below are a selection of the top Black Friday tech deals in the USA this year – giving you a taste of what Americans can get their hands on.
