Black Friday 2016: $1 iPhone 6S, $100 Discount on iPhone 7 and MacBook Pro 2016 for Thanksgiving Day?

Apple's iPhone 7 And New Apple Watch On Sale In New York

Will Apple treat its millions of loyal fans to Black Friday deals that could leave the 2015 flagship simply irresistible at $1, or the latest and greatest from the tech giant - the iPhone 7 - with up $100 price off? It could be but truth to be told the best iPhone or MacBook deals come November 25 will likely not originate from Apple.

Traditionally, the iPhone maker shuns the annual Black Friday craze but gives out gift cards with $50 credit for purchases made within the holiday shopping season, which for most Americans start in November. But in most cases, the value credit can only be redeemed or applied to the next purchase or selected accessories found on Apple Stores.

So for the best source of fantastic Apple deals, the usual suspects would be the giant retailers like Walmart, Target, Best Buy and for the online shoppers - Amazon. In previous years, the flagship iPhone was pushed out with an asking price of only $1 but it's highly unlikely that the same will be seen with Apple's current headliners, the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.

For sure, the devices will not see any form of price cut in Apple Store but for the biggie sellers mentioned above shoppers can expect significant savings. Walmart, for instance, is known to chop off up to $100 from the price tag of the latest iPhone and the retailer might just replicate what it did in past Black Fridays. And chances are, the new MacBook Pro 2016 could be included in the sweetened Apple deals.

Amazon too might just flex it muscle and dangle the same tempting iPhone deals. And as Apple has already discounted the iPhone 6S series by up to $200 following the iPhone 7 debut, both Amazon and Walmart could go the extra mile and out the 6S on the table in exchange for a dollar (the package will certainly include 2-year contract with service providers).

As for Best Buy and the other players, the forecast for possible MacBook, iPhone and iPad discounts hover between $50 and $75, possibly in the form of outright rebates, bundled products and vouchers.

But how and when to confirm if these Black Friday sellers will go ahead with the mentioned deals? The key, according to Inquisitr, is to watch out for the Black Friday Ad leaks from the major retailers.

In the same report, Inquisitr said that likely the first to reveal on shopping deals is Kohl's, which will have its ads ready by November 7. By the 8th and 9th, Target and Best Buy will follow respectively then on the 10th it will be Walmart's turn.

Amazon is likely to reveal its juicy plans for Black Friday 2016 on November 16 that should contain iPhone and MacBook discount offerings.
