Black Friday marks the time of the year when retailers are more actively luring shoppers in with great discounts on many of their items. Similarly, it’s also an exciting time for consumers to get the best products that they always wanted at a great price. Among the most popular deals during this special time of the year are on Apple products.
With a wide range of store options out there, though, it can be tough to keep track. To make things easy for you, we provide a list of the best deals Apple has in store for you.
iPhones
There are already Black Friday gift cards from major retail chains for the purchase of new and even older models on a number of carriers. These include the 256 GB iPhone 7s being offered at $250. However, the prices are mostly the same for all iPhone models, including the iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone 7 and iPhone SE.

Apple Watches
The Series 1 Apple Watches with the faster processor will be offered by major retailers at a price range of $198 to $219, which is $50 to $70 less than its starting price of $269.

iPad Pros
Some retailers are planning to offer the 9.7-inch iPad Pro models at a starting price of $449, which means a $150 savings for the base 32GB model. Remember that iPad Pros have notoriously sold quickly in the past Black Fridays because their supplies tend to be limited. So, if you want one of these devices, make your purchase as soon as possible during Black Friday.
