Though it's not quite Friday, and many of you are still waiting to dig in to Thanksgiving dinners with family, many retailers are kicking off their Black Friday sales early this year. Stores like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart, where some of the best deals are to be had, will be opening their doors to shoppers as early as 5 p.m. local time.
While you can see a massive list of all the Black Friday discounts being offered on Apple products and accessories in our
comprehensive Black Friday roundup, we've gathered up some of the most enticing Black Friday deals below. Many of the deals listed below are available now, with limited supplies. Some of the deals won't be available until Black Friday actually rolls around, and details on exact sale times can be
found in the roundup.
iPhone
Sam's Club is currently offering a
$100 discount on the iPhone 6 in all capacities, which is one of the best deals available on the device. Best Buy is also offering a $100 discount on the device, but the deal is limited to the
16GB model.
Frequent Walmart shoppers may want to purchase an iPhone there, as Walmart will be selling the 16GB iPhone 6 for
$179 and including a
$75 Walmart gift card. The store will also be selling the 16GB iPhone 5s for
$79, and that device also comes with a
$75 gift card.
iPhones purchased directly from Apple, including the
iPhone 6 Plus,
iPhone 6,
iPhone 5s, and
iPhone 5c, will come with a
$50 iTunes gift card.
iPad
Best Buy is discounting its
entire stock of iPad Air 2 tablets by $100, which is the best deal available on Apple's newest iPad. The $100 discount applies to all colors and capacities, and brings the price of the
16GB WiFi-only iPad Air 2 down to $399.
Best Buy is also discounting all of its
iPad mini 3 stock by $75, dropping the price of the
16GB entry-level WiFi-only model to
$324. Shoppers looking for an especially good deal may want to check out Best Buy's supply of
iPad mini 2 tablets, which are discounted by
$75 to $100. At $75 off, the
16GB entry-level WiFi-only iPad mini 2 is just $224.99, the lowest price we've seen on it yet.
For those unable to shop at Best Buy,
Target is also offering a solid deal on the iPad Air 2, providing a
$140 Target gift card with
any iPad Air 2 purchase (prices start at $499). Target is also offering
$100 gift cards with the purchase of the
iPad mini 2,
iPad mini 3, and original
iPad Air in all colors and capacities.
Macs
Mac deals are a bit more limited than iPhone and iPad deals, but both Best Buy and MacMall are offering solid deals on Apple's range of MacBooks, iMacs, and Mac minis, and Mac Pros.
Best Buy, for example, is selling the
low-end 21.5-inch 1.4Ghz/8GB/500GB iMac for
$899, a $200 discount and the lowest price we've seen on the machine. The retailer also has select
MacBook Air and
Retina MacBook Pro computers for
$150 off.
MacMall is
discounting its stock of MacBook Air and Retina MacBook Pro computers by
$50 to $200, depending on configuration. MacMall is also offering the Mac Pro for up to
$600 off, the Mac mini for up to
$60 off, and the iMac for up to
$120 off.
Unlike many resellers, MacMall offers Apple machines with a variety of custom configurations, much like the online Apple Store, so
the site's Black Friday section has a huge range of Macs at low prices.
Notable deals from MacMall include the
15-inch 2.5Ghz/16GB/512GB Retina MacBook Pro for
$2,298, a discount of $201, and the entry-level 13.3-inch
1.4Ghz/4GB/128GB MacBook Air for
$898, a discount of $101.
B&H Photo has a $200 discount on the new
3.5GHz/8GB/1TB 5K Retina iMac, dropping the cost down to
$2,299, the lowest price we've seen yet. The site also has the
6-core 3.5GHz/16GB/256GB Mac Pro for
$3,499, a discount of $500, and the
15-inch 2.2GHz/16GB/256GB Retina MacBook Pro for
$1,699.99, a discount of $300.
Other Deals
Many retailers are also offering deals on an array of Apple products, with Beats headphones being a popular discount item. Many stores are also offering iPod touches, Apple TVs, fitness accessories, and more at low prices, and a list of deals is
located in the roundup.
Alongside brick and mortar retailers, many online only shops are offering site-wide deals.
Twelve South, for example, is planning to offer deep discounts on its products,
Speck is offering 25 percent off many of its iPhone cases, and
Casetify is offering an exclusive 25 percent off discount site wide for
MacRumors readers with the discount code MACRUMORS.
App developers are also discounting their products, and highly popular apps like
Fantastical for the iPad, iPhone, and iPad are available at the lowest prices of the year, and Adobe's cutting the price of
Elements 13 by 40 percent.
Softorino, the company behind the
WALTR app that makes it easy to upload and convert any music or video file to an iOS device, is offering an
exclusive 49 percent off discount for
MacRumors readers, and Pixelmator is
offering its popular image editing app for
50 percent off, dropping the price to $14.99 for a limited time.
A full list of discounts in the iOS and Mac App Stores can be found through
our sister site AppShopper , which lists all apps that have seen recent price drops.
