Black Friday - iPhone X

[MacGurl111]

I was looking through numerous of ads and didn’t find any iPhone X for sale.

Pretty interesting that there aren’t any iPhone X for sale unless signing up for new service with a carrier. Has anyone found a good deal? Thank you!

I also have not seen anything. There might be a promotional discount through a carrier or trade in incentive at the most with the iPhone X.

Seeing they are in high demand with no supply, you are expecting a discount?

 

[Technarchy]

High demand + limited availability = no discounts.

Why should you?

Sales are used to get people to buy a product that they may not normally buy. Given the high demand and low inventory of the X, there's absolutely no business reason to discount the X.

Black Friday sales are not here for the benefit of the consumers, they're there to drum up purchases for retailers. Sure it can turn into a feeding frenzy where the consumer wins out, but retailers are looking to get people to buy with them.

Finally, Black Friday sales have transformed over the years to the point that its not really great discounts like it used to be. Sure you can still find a great deal here or there, but most of the stuff you see discounted is stuff that was discounted through-out the year. I think we've all seen our share of "Black Friday" sales in July. I vaguely recall seeing a study that noted that Back Friday is not the best day to save money, in fact there are other dates throughout the year that retailers cut the prices even more then what you see on BF

You won’t find any deals.

I haven't found any good deals for anything I want. Most of it is for older hardware like PS4 slim, Xbox One S, and iPads. You might get a gift card if you get the iPhone 8 that barely anybody wants.

No BF deals for Nintendo Switch and iPhone X. Maybe next year for the X once the successors are out and it becomes $699-$799. It's going to sell 100M in a year and 25M in just one quarter. Apple will keep it in the market for at least three years. Some stores still have iPhone 5s to sell.

I don't see promos and discounts for the X until as early as March once the Galaxy S9 pushes out. That's when carriers will offer it with some discounts, BOGO, or trade-in deals. Happens every time for every phone. Let the early adopters get it at the highest price on launch day or within the first few months.

Wait about 3-4 months and get a better deal if you plan to keep it in the long haul and you can walk into any store to get it. Many of the early adopters need to get it early to either show off because it's a "race" to them and then sell it off before the next iPhone. Wash, rinse, repeat cycles.

It’s not even a month old yet and there’s still a preorder backlog. Don’t expect any deals.

Yeah, so strange that a 3-4 week backordered item released two weeks ago that's selling like crazy isn't being discounted.
I think next year the rumor is that Apple will have pre-black friday pre-order discounts on iPhone X Plus. Obviously to lower their margins, which makes business sense.

 

[Trash Can]

FWIW, Sam's Club had a deal on the X last weekend. $300 Sam's Club gift card and activation fees waived with an installment purchase plan.

I'm sure there will be similar deals coming, although they probably will be few and far between.

 

[Sean76]

Just a hunch...
But Companies usually don't do sales or incentives on things that are pretty much back ordered and not available for 3-6 weeks.

The people you see getting their phones either pre ordered, stood in line, found a loop in reserving early in the AM or some random time though Apple, or just simply got super lucky and walked into Apple and were able to snag one.

 

[geoff5093]

Because they move themselves without needing to be on sale. The iPhone 8 though has some great sales right now.

 

[MacGurl111]

Why should you?

Because I want to. No need to be snarky.

 

[LarrySmith]

Black Friday deals typically involve last year's products. So you'll probably see some iPhone 7 discounts

 

[MacGurl111]

Not expecting discounts. I already have my iPhone X. It’s just a question if anyone has found a deal. My Apple store has iPhone X in stock. I canceled my orders online and went to store to pick them up.

It was an excellent answer to your question. You should consider reading what the moderator / forum user took the time to write. It was answered as best as anyone else here could.

Just because she’s a moderator doesn’t make it the best answer. I think Sean76 answered it better. Simple and concise was all I need. Thank you, though.

Best Buy had three switch titles for $25

One two switch
Sonic forces
Bomberman

Coupled with gcu I’m probably finally in on one two switch. Seems like an ok party game. Sonic forces looks terrible as 9/10 sonic games are and I’ve
Played by merman and wasn’t overly impressed. May be worth the $21 though I guess.

I'm pretty sure the X will never reach the 699-799 price range. It's gonna be 899 next year.

I think you'll see the 8/8+ and the 7/7+ discounted for Black Friday, but not the X.

For what carrier? I know that ATT didn't offer that. They won't offer any deals without signing up for Direct TV

ATT was also included. You dont need Direct Tv for BOGO deal now! Also Walmart has $300 gift card deal on black friday on iPhone X if you want to go and stand in line and fight with others!

 

[nviz22]

Sales could occur if it's from a carrier side of things. They are the ones that could benefit from additional streams of subscriber revenue.

Is Sam's Club the same as Costco on the West Coast? I was told no on ATT
