The Real History of Black Friday — and How It Became the Biggest Day for Tech & Electronics

Every November, Black Friday transforms the tech world into a global shopping celebration. From iPhones and smartphones to wireless earbuds, laptops, and charging accessories, it’s the day everyone looks forward to for unbeatable deals. At Certified Circuits, we honor Black Friday not just with massive discounts on electronics, but also by remembering how this shopping phenomenon began.

Black Friday started long before online sales or digital deals. The term first appeared in 1950s Philadelphia, used by police officers to describe the post-Thanksgiving chaos as shoppers crowded the city before a major football game. In the 1980s, retailers redefined it, claiming it was the day their profits went from red (loss) to black (profit). That clever rebranding turned Black Friday into the official start of the holiday shopping season.

By the early 2000s, Black Friday became a tech event. Consumers lined up for discounted phones, TVs, and computers, with electronics leading every major sale. At Certified Circuits, we continue this tradition with exclusive deals on iPhones, Speakers, and Accessories — all available online for your convenience.

When Cyber Monday launched in 2005, it took Black Friday online. Shoppers could browse tech deals, phone discounts, and tablet sales from home. Certified Circuits brings both worlds together with Black Friday and Cyber Monday electronics deals on the latest iPhones, tablets, chargers, cases, and gadgets.
