Black Friday 2017: The Best Deals on iPhones, iPads, Apple Watch, Macs, and More

[MacRumors]

Thanksgiving is well underway in the United States, and Black Friday deals online and at brick and mortar stores are starting to go live across the country. Major retail stores like Target, Best Buy, and Walmart will be opening their doors this evening, while many online-only deals are already live.

Below, we've rounded up some of the best deals we've come across on Apple products like iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Macs, and accessories, and many, many more deals can be found in our dedicated Black Friday roundup.

iPhone

Walmart is offering a $300 Walmart Gift Card with the purchase of an iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 7, or iPhone 7 Plus on an AT&T Next or Verizon Device Payment plan. This deal is limited to stores, with activation appointments available starting at 6:00 p.m. Actual activations will begin at 8:00 p.m.

Sam's Club is offering a $100 Sam's Club gift card with the purchase of "any Apple iPhone," which may include the iPhone X, but it isn't clear if the retailer will have any in stock. This deal does apply to the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus.

Target is offering a $250 Target gift card with the purchase of an iPhone 8 or an iPhone 8 Plus on an installment plan from Verizon, Sprint, or AT&T.

If you prefer a straight cash discount, Best Buy is offering up to $200 off the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus on an installment plan from Verizon, Sprint, or AT&T.

iPad Pro

There are several deals to be had on the latest 2017 10.5 and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models, with multiple retailers offering discounts.

Best Buy is discounting the 10.5-inch iPad Pro by up to $150, while Target will be offering a $120 discount, dropping the price on the entry-level 64GB 10.5-inch iPad Pro model to $530, down from the regular price of $650.

B&H Photo is also offering several iPad Pro models at $50 to $100 off.

- 10.5-inch iPad Pro: 64GB, Wi-Fi - $599.00, down from $649.00
- 10.5-inch iPad Pro: 256GB, Wi-Fi - $699.00, down from $799.00
- 12.9-inch iPad Pro : 64GB, Wi-Fi - $739.00, down from $799.00
- 12.9-inch iPad Pro: 256GB, Wi-Fi - $849.00, down from $949.00

5th-Generation iPad (2017)

Both Target and Best Buy are offering the 2017 32GB iPad for $249.99, which is a discount of $80 off of the regular price of $329.99. Walmart is offering the same deal.

For some cellular 2017 iPad models, Best Buy is offering a $200 discount. At $200 off, the 32GB 2017 iPad with cellular is available for $259, down from the regular price of $459. A two-year Verizon service contract is required to get the deal.

Apple Watch

There are essentially no deals on the new Apple Watch Series 3 models, with the exception of Kohl's. Kohl's is offering $90 in Kohl's cash with the purchase of select Apple Watch Series 3 models.

Target is discounting Apple Watch Series 1 models by $70, dropping entry-level pricing down to $179.99. That's the best Series 1 deal, and Macy's is matching it by discounting Series 1 models by $70 as well, while Best Buy is offering a $50 discount if the previous deals are unavailable for some reason.

MacBook Pro

When taking into account B&H Photo's free shipping and no taxes on orders outside of New York, the company is offering the best deals on most MacBook Pro models. Adorama, which doesn't charge taxes outside of New York and New Jersey, is also offering the same discounts. MacMall and Best Buy's prices are similar on most Macs, but they can't beat no taxes for the most part.

Best Buy does actually have the best discounts on 15-inch MacBook Pro models and some higher-end 13-inch models, offering $50 off over Adorama and B&H, but in states where sales tax is a factor, B&H or Adorama deals are still likely to be better overall. In some cases, Amazon also has comparable deals.

Best Buy is discounting all 15-inch MacBook Pro models by $250, while 13-inch models are between $150 and $200 off.

Anyone know what's up with the Best Buy iPhone 8 deals? Seems like Sprint is the only carrier in which the $200 is offered. Do we know if AT&T and Verizon iPhones will get this deal later tonight or tomorrow?

 

[Baymowe335]

Already have my X. Have fun out there!

 

[anonymouse99]

Wonder if Walmart/Target will even have enough iPhones to honor these deals?
For example, Target shows 0 inventory online for any stores near me or does this deal start later on today or tomorrow @ Target?

Has anyone been able to confirm if they'll have enough inventory that'll last for a day or two?

 

[mi7chy]

Going to pick up one of these for $49 for use as a guest play device on WIFI which is equivalent to iPhone 6S/7/8 Plus.

[...]which is equivalent to iPhone 6S/7/8 Plus.

No. No it is not.

 

[JackieTreehorn]

This should be the moment where I bought the Homepod.....

 

[gutefahrt]

Wanting 8+ verizon 256. Anyone know if Walmart or Target has limited stock? Did they have limited quantities of 7's with this deal last year?

 

[prism]

"...while Target will be offering a $120 discount, dropping the price on the entry-level 32GB 10.5-inch iPad Pro model to $530, down from the regular price of $650."

Hmmm, I didn't know that the 10.5 inch came with 32gb...

 

[MikeSmoke]

Ordered a $249 iPad from Target today. That hit the sweet spot for me. A nice step up from my mini2.

 

[chrismail627]

Is there any significant difference between the 2016 and 2017 MacBook Pro 15" besides Kaby Lake?

 

[jclo]

"...while Target will be offering a $120 discount, dropping the price on the entry-level 32GB 10.5-inch iPad Pro model to $530, down from the regular price of $650."

Hmmm, I didn't know that the 10.5 inch came with 32gb...

That's meant to say 64GB. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[B-Mc-C]

Most of these Black Friday offers pale in comparison to the BOGO ($700 value) that AT&T has been offering for some time on the iPhone X and iPhone 8. This is not being advertised very heavily for obvious reasons. Best Buy has the fine print published but I first heard about this 3 weeks ago in my local AT&T retail store and I've used it at both AT&T and Best Buy. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/clp/att-bogo-offer/pcmcat1491229984460.c?id=pcmcat1491229984460

 

[justint1989]

Have fun!
I have my X already and did a buy one get one on the 7’s for the other family members. Changed one of their numbers to get it, but hey, who cares that’s 560 free for that device.

 

[GadgetBen]

Apple Store is down, probably being updated for Black Friday deals

 

[ETechMaster2002]

Ugh ... as always ... no T-Mobile deals.
I wonder why Best Buy and other retailers no longer have T-Mobile phones unless if you pay for the entire device.

 

[justint1989]

Ugh ... as always ... no T-Mobile deals.
I wonder why Best Buy and other retailers no longer have T-Mobile phones unless if you pay for the entire device.

T-Mobile is an odd one. I wonder if they specifically pulled out of 3rd party for a reason.

 

[joueboy]

Remember iPhone X on Bestbuy is $100 more than anywhere else. So that’s only $100 savings and you’re welcome. Enjoy that extra saving for yourself or someone for the holiday.

This requires the 2nd phone to be a new line activation. Most of us don't need a 2nd line

iPhone > Huawei prepaid device.

 

[vipergts2207]

Surprised there were no retailer deals on ATVs this year. Was wanting to pick up a 4th gen for the bedroom. Oh well, got a fantastic deal on two HomeKit compatible Hunter ceiling fans instead.

 

[clutchm3]

Any deals on applecare?

 

[iJustiney]

Wrong

 

[deanthedev]

No. No it is not.

But it is representative of the vast majority of Android phones in the world.

That’s not true, they did that initially and returned to original price due to so much bad press.
Best Buy now sells it at regular price, I even just did the math on their website to confirm
