Black Friday 2019 Edition - Keep Track of All the Best Apple Deals


Like Black Friday 2019 Edition: The Best Apple Deals 🔥 😍 on Facebook

Hi <<First Name>>,

In the US, Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving (Nov. 29th), noted as the first day of traditional Holiday shopping, during which crowds of consumers are drawn to special offers by retailers.

Since the majority of my subscribers are Apple users, I thought I'd share a fantastic resource that you can use to track Black Friday deals on Apple products (and some other related products).

The website I like to follow to keep track of Black Friday deals (and deals throughout the year) is MacRumors.com. Not only do they provide Black Friday deal information, but they share deals prior to and beyond. In fact, they have a handy Black Friday Timeline that shares deal offerings by specific dates.

No, I am not associated with this website in any way, I just like to follow it to keep tabs on deals. <== Who doesn't love a bargain!
 

Black Friday iPad Deal Summary


Save up to $150 on Newly Released iPad 10.2-inch
Looking through the iPad deals, it looks like (as of today Nov. 20), the best deals for 2019 iPad 10.2-inch 32GB (with Apple Pencil support) is a savings of $80 off retail -- $329 at Target, Best Buy, Walmart, and Staples (that's an incredible buy for anyone looking to upgrade their iPad, but don't need the power of the iPad Pro).  

If you're interested in a bigger screen, Amazon and Best Buy will have the 12.5-inch and 11-inch iPad Pro model for as much as $200 off this Black Friday.

Keep in mind, pricing discounts may very by the iPad configuration (ex: 32GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB+ or WiFi vs WiFi/Cellular Data). Make sure you pay attention to the configurations before making your purchase.

Many times Black Friday deals are limited to Black Friday only -- meaning if you want to exchange a purchase for another model/configuration, you may not get the discounted price on the exchange.  <== that would be a bummer!

Some retailers are offering gift cards up to $150 instead of applying the discount directly to the iPad price.
 

iPhone Deals


Target will offer a free $200 Target gift card with qualified activation of an iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, or iPhone 11 Pro Max on Verizon or AT&T. This deal will be valid from 7 a.m. Black Friday through Sunday, December 1. The same offer will be available for the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max..

Walmart is offering up to $450 in Walmart eGift cards with qualified activation on iPhone XS ($450), XS Max ($400), XR ($400), 11 ($300), 11 Pro ($300), and 11 Pro Max ($300). If you also trade in an eligible smartphone, you'll get an additional $250 on a Walmart eGift card.

Best Buy is offering $500 off iPhone 11 and 11 Pro.
  • iPhone 11 - Save up to $500 with activation and in-store trade-in
  • iPhone 11 Pro - Save up to $500 with activation and in-store trade-in
Make sure you check out your cell phone provider's web site for special iPhone deals. Many times you can get better deals when you opt-in to an installment plan. I did see older iPhone models (7 and 8) being offered for free on most provider websites.
 

Online stores provide discounts too

Although many of the deals are available at physical stores, online stores also provide great discounts and sometimes free shipping during Black Friday. Sites like Ebay, Amazon, OWC, B&H, and MacMall want to get into the action too and sometimes will provide even greater discounts.
 

Deals extend past iPads and iPhones


Apple AirPods
The hottest Apple product this holiday season is the new Apple AirPod Pros, and you'll find deals on both the new AirPod Pros and the previous AirPod model.
  • AirPods Pro - $234.99 (save $14) - It may be only $14 but this is the only sale I’ve seen! - Amazon
  • AirPods with Charging Case (Previous Model) - $139 (save $20) - Walmart
  • AirPods with Charging Case (Previous Model) - $144 (save $15) - Amazon
  • AirPods with Charging Case (Previous Model) - $139.99 (save $20) - Best Buy
Apple Pencil 2
Another hot Apple product this holiday season is the new Apple Pencil 2. I found deals at Walmart and Amazon.
  • Apple Pencil 2 - Apple Pencil 2 - $119.99 from $129.99 (save $10) - Walmart , Amazon

If you are looking to purchase the new Apple TV, Apple Watch, or maybe a new Mac iMac or MacBook, there are fantastic deals on these devices as well. Scroll through the MacRumors Black Friday Tracker page to locate deals on your favorite Apple devices.

Other sites that track Apple deals
There are many different sites that track Black Friday deals on Apple products. Sometimes I like to verify a discount I saw or possibly find a deal I haven't seen yet.  That being said, checkout these other sites for Apple Black Friday discount summaries:

Apple Compatible Wireless Motion Detecting Camera

The Arlo wireless security cameras are easy to install and capture 1080p video right to your Apple devices. Plus they are HomeKit compatible so you can summon Siri to show you your Arlo cameras -- even when away from home.

  • Arlo - Pro 2 4-Camera Indoor/Outdoor Wireless 1080p Security Camera System - $399.99 (reg $649.99). Save $250 -- excellent deal! Best Buy


Black Friday Shopping Apps

For those of you who want to be notified about deals as soon as the break, you might want to consider downloading a Black Friday Shopping app. These apps provide alerts on new deals and offer new store ads that can be saved into customized lists. Many apps also allows users to share their favorite sales and discount announcements via social media platforms.

Don't forget, many of your favorite retailers provide Black Friday deal updates through their own app.

I personally don't have a favorite app to recommend, so search the App Store for 'Black Friday' and read the reviews and ratings of each app offered, or check out this review from USA Today.


Good Advice

Keep in mind, Black Friday deals may be limited.  So, be advised to monitor sales and shop early! Also, Cyber Monday is the Monday after Black Friday. Be sure to watch for special pricing on that day too!
 


There you go! With this knowledge you can take advantage of some fantastic Apple Black Friday deals and save some money. I wish you many happy returns with your Black Friday shopping, and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
