Apple isn't very big on holiday promos — even on Black Friday. However, it seems like retailers have found a way to go around the tech mogul's hefty price restrictions by giving customers goodies and gift cards bundled with their Apple merchandise.
According to a report by Network World, Apple's retailers have decided to celebrate Black Friday by giving customers a few holiday promos for gadgets including those by Apple like iPads, Apple Watches, and iPhones. Though the retailers haven't been able to find a way to bundle a few goodies with Apple's Macs, the items they've added in with other Apple devices for their Black Friday promo can seem sweet enough for customers to bite into.
For the iPhone 7, Target is giving away a $250 gift card if customers buy the phone on a 24-month installment while Best Buy is offering a gift card of the same amount when the phone is purchased along with an installment plan from Verizon, Sprint or AT&T. Walmart, on the other hand is offering an iPhone 7 or any other Apple or Samsung model left in shop for a zero downpayment when availing of a Verizon Device Payment Plan or an AT&T Next installment. Not only that, but they get a gift card from Walmart at $250 as well.
Meanwhile, iPad Pros now have a $250 discount from Verizon when purchasing an iPhone. Apparently, the carrier plans to bring the price of the 9.7-inch 32 GB iPad Pro right down to a bare $48 when customers go ahead an purchase Verizon's iPhones. However, it seems like there's a catch: the iPad requires a two-year activation to work.
Meanwhile, Forbes has listed down some solid deals for the holiday season and while they don't seem that stellar, the deals seem pretty attractive for Apple loyalists looking for some savings.
These solid deals include an Apple Watch Series 2 being sold by Best Buy at prices starting $369, an Apple Watch Series 2 Nike + at $369 and a whole lot more.
