Thanks to Black Friday 2016, both the iPhone 7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 will be significantly more affordable on November 25. The day after Thanksgiving, gadget shoppers will find both flagships cheaper on Best Buy, Target and Sam's Club with the latest from Apple ready to scoop up minus the cash out or $0 initial payment.
When picking up the iPhone 7 from any of the three retailers, a $250 gift card will be given to shoppers but on top of the already compelling deal the sellers are ready to release the handset with zero down. That reads correct, the payment for the iPhone 7 that has a price tag starting at $649 is reduced to $0, at least for the initial payment.
This applies for Apple fans wanting to take home the iPhone 7 with contracts from AT&T, Sprint and Verizon. But it pays to take note, according to BGR, of the fine details of the promo deals like the $0 iPhone 7 is probably exclusive only to the basic model or 32GB storage configuration.
That should mean the hot Jet Black finish will not be on the table and that getting the higher storage options - 128GB and 256GB - will translate to increased payment, both for outright purchases and instalment plans. And T-Mobile is not part of the listed service providers, just in case it matters.
It is understood that buyers will best benefit from the $250 gift card if the transaction is for cash or straight payment (for those who will use credit card) as the value of the discount card is likely for immediate application. How the same card will apply on instalment needs to be verified with Best Buy, Target and Sam's Club.
The same promo is also available for Samsung fans, specifically for those planning to snap up the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. The $250 gift card is also up for grabs for Best Buy shoppers plus a free VR Gear that is normally worth $100. BGR said in a separate report that the gift card cannot be used for both installment and cash transactions.
But for the outright purchases, Sammy fans will find that the S7 and S7 Edge on Best Buy will be $120 cheaper in about two Fridays for now. This is for the unlocked or SIM-free version of the 2017 Samsung flagships.
