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.
