iPhone 6 Black Friday 2014 deals: Best retailers to buy handsets during biggest shopping event

When Apple announced the new iPhone 6 smartphone, some smart buyers decided to wait for Nov. 28 in order to get the device for a lower price in this year's Black Friday shopping fest.  Retailers are aware of this, and they know that consumers will raid the stores during the shopping festival in order to get Apple's latest smartphone at a discount. 

Below are the much anticipated Black Friday deals for iPhone 6. 

U.S. electronics retailer Best Buy will offer the 16 GB iPhone 6 for half the price. The handset will cost $99.99 with a two-year contract. Meanwhile, Walmart will offer the 16 GB iPhone 6 for $179 with a $75 Walmart gift card, plus another $200 gift card for a smartphone trade-in. 

Also, according to a flyer leaked in GottaDeal.com, Sam's Club will offer the iPhone 6 for $99 on Nov. 15 at 7 a.m. 

iPhone 6 boasts a 4.7 inches screen display, A8 processor, fingerprint sensor, 8 MP back camera and 1.2 MP front-facing camera. The handset runs with the latest iOS 8 that gives rise to various software features such as Apple Pay and iHealth. 

Meanwhile, last year's iPhone 5S will also be sold at discounted prices. Best Buy will offer the 16 GB model of the iPhone 5S for $1 with a two-year commitment. Walmart, on the other hand, will offer the 16 Gb iPhone 5S for $79 with two-year contract plus a $75 Walmart gift card and a $200 gift card for a smartphone trade-in. 

iPhone 5S packs the 4-inch screen display, A7 processor, Adreno 330, and 8 MP rear shooter.  The handset was released with iOS 7, but can now be updated to iOS 8. 

Apple Store, which will reportedly open at 8 a.m. on Nov. 28, has not yet officially announced its discounted devices to be offered on Black Friday. There is also no word yet about discounts on Apple's phablet, the iPhone 6 Plus. 

These are just the first of the many discounts that will emerge as Black Friday nears, and shoppers can expect many more surprises during holiday season.
