Best Black Friday iPhone Deals

With the launch of the iPhone 14, Apple fans who want to enjoy even the slightest discount when buying the latest model, and those who don’t mind buying an older iPhone for the largest possible savings, are looking forward to this year’s Black Friday deals. The shopping holiday isn’t arriving for several weeks, but given the popularity of Apple’s smartphones, it will be wise to start your preparations for retailers’ iPhone deals on Black Friday. We’ve got the answers to some of the most important questions from shoppers who are planning to buy an iPhone, and we’ll provide more tips to maximize Black Friday iPhone deals as the event draws closer.

When will the Black Friday iPhone deals start in 2022?

Black Friday, which always happens after Thanksgiving, will fall on Nov. 25 this year. We’re expecting retailers to offer their biggest discounts for iPhones on that day. However, you have the option of finishing your shopping early, because Black Friday iPhone deals will likely begin as soon as Nov. 21, which is the Monday of that week. The bargain prices will hit their peak on Black Friday, with leftovers available over the weekend through Cyber Monday. It’s a good idea to buy a new iPhone as early as you can during Black Friday week, so that you won’t fall victim to depleted stocks on the model that you’re looking to purchase.

While waiting for retailers to roll out their Black Friday iPhone deals, you should check out our choice for the best iPhone to buy. With the arrival of the iPhone 14, its predecessor, the iPhone 13 and its variants, are expected to have their prices slashed for the shopping holiday. You might want to make use of this time to understand the smartphone’s features, and maybe even take a look at older models if you want to enjoy even bigger savings.

Which retailer has the best Black Friday iPhone deals?

Apple participates in Black Friday sales, but only by offering gift cards. If you want to buy an iPhone without paying full price, you’ll have to look at the Black Friday iPhone deals that will come from major retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. It’s too early to determine the seller that will offer the largest discounts, but they probably won’t be too different from each other. That’s why it’s recommended to focus your search for your new iPhone on your preferred retailer, so that you’ll be familiar with the online platform.

Whichever retailer you choose for your iPhone purchase on Black Friday, as long as you purchase an iPhone 8 or later, you’ll be able to enjoy the new features that come with iOS 16, which is the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system. We’ll gather the best offers for the different iPhone models so that you don’t have to go anywhere else, so bookmark this page and return to its once you’re ready to start your Black Friday shopping.

Should you shop Black Friday iPhone deals or wait until Cyber Monday?

Cyber Monday, a shopping holiday that focuses on gadgets like Apple’s iPhones, launches on the Monday after Black Friday. Some people believe that if you’re looking or discounts on electronic devices, it’s better to skip Black Friday altogether and just wait for the deals that will roll out on Cyber Monday. All the major retailers participate with Cyber Monday sales, with certain offers that you won’t be able to find during Black Friday.

It might seem like a good idea to buy a new iPhone on Cyber Monday instead of Black Friday, but you might not get what you want if you push through with it. That’s because there’s no assurance that the iPhone model that you want will get cheaper from Black Friday to Cyber Monday — the bigger risk is that your preferred retailer may run out of stocks. Instead of angling to save a few more dollars at most, it’s highly recommended that you take advantage of Black Friday iPhone deals that meet your needs and budget as soon as you come across them.

This deal saves you $350 on the unlocked Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4
The Galaxy Z Fold 4 open in a person's hands.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, the brand's flagship foldable smartphone, doesn't usually appear in phone deals. However, an unlocked version of the device is currently available from Best Buy for $1,450, following a $350 discount on its original price of $1,800. If you've been waiting for an opportunity to buy the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 at a lower price, this is it.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 appears like a traditional smartphone with a 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED screen with 2316 x 904 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. However, you can open it up to reveal a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED screen with 2176 x 1812 resolution and also a 120Hz refresh rate. The inside screen is perfect for watching streaming content, playing games, and editing photos, among other functions, and the crease in the middle is no longer visible due to the reduced rippling surrounding it. For an additional input option that you can use with the larger inner display, the smartphone also comes with Samsung's S Pen, which you can use to take down notes, make sketches, and more.

This Disney Plus deal ends on Monday — lock it in while you can
The Disney+ app on a TV screen while blue lights illuminate the wall behind.

The streaming world has become increasingly contentious of late, with prices climbing, new services being introduced, existing services being split or joined with others, and really just a lot of different shake-ups. What felt like the golden age of streaming is now up in the air, primarily because there are so many different things happening, and having so many piecemeal options -- and so many services to pay for -- is not quite as desirable. Finding an excellent deal on your favorite service, allowing you to access all of your favorite content, can make things a whole lot better though. Take this Disney Plus deal, for example, which allows you to secure three months of premium access for just $7.
The deal is excellent, it's convenient, but most importantly, it's limited. It will only be valid until 1‌1‌:‌5‌9 P‌M P‌ST on March 6th -- which is Monday. So, if you're interested, even just a little, make sure to take advantage now while you still can. We'll take a closer look at what the deal offers, and what you can expect from Disney Plus, below.

Why you should subscribe to Disney Plus
As you likely know, Disney Plus is the entertainment giant's premium subscription service which allows you to watch a ton of Disney-themed content -- and content from its many properties like Star Wars, 20th Century Fox, Marvel, and beyond -- on just about any compatible device. Yes, you can watch on your TV, smart TV, or smart streaming device, like Roku, but you can also watch on the go from your tablet, phone, and other mobile devices. It's the perfect way to catch up on some of the exclusive shows when you have a busy lifestyle, but also it's an excellent way to entertain your kids when you're out and about too.
