As expected, the best 2015 Black Friday deals involving Apple devices will most certainly not come from the tech giant, which limits its promo to in-store gift cards. Thankfully, giant retailers like Walmart, Staples and Best Buy intend to undercut the iOS device maker with tempting price cuts on the iPhone 6S, iPad Air 2, iPad Mini 4 and the MacBook Air.
Apple will continue to offer the 16GB iPhone 6S with contract starting at $199, unmindful of the Black Friday fever and it is likely that the price mark will stay the same for the duration of the 2015 holiday season. So for smartphone shoppers, especially those hunting the hard-to-find 6S deals, the preferred destination on November 27 is Walmart.
Walmart is not the biggest shop in the world for nothing and one of its numerous come-ons is its incredible ability to pull down the price of any products on its store shelves, Apple's including. And the tech giant's 2015 flagship is ready to take home for only $99 or $100 less from the regular tag.
By virtue of the Black Friday deal, the purchase will merit a $100 gift card though it is unclear if the value can be immediately applied to a 6S purchase that should make the phone acquisition totally free of one-off payment with a dollar to spare.
Walmart's iPhone 6S deal, BGR said, come with 2-year contract from AT&T and Verizon.
Now if the object of desire is the 2014 iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi with 16GB of internal memory, shoppers should head to Staples that beats the competition with its $125 discount off the 9.7-inch iOS tablet. The Air 2 sticker price this Friday on Staples will start at $374 but buyers wanting the 64GB version also with Wi-Fi only connectivity, the asking price from the same store is $449. Savings to be realized on this purchase is $150.
As for Black Friday shoppers looking to snatch the best MacBook deals, Best Buy offers the best bang for the bucks. The store will sell this weekend a MacBook Air at $780, shaving off $120 from the original mark, but this is a Doorbuster package so if supplies dry up quick the next best thing would be the 13.3-inch MacBook Pro that will clear the cash register for only $900, giving shoppers extra $200 to pocket back home or score a few more deals during the post-Thanksgiving shopping frenzy.
