"When is Black Friday? Black Friday is Friday, Nov. 28, the day after Thanksgiving. While it's typically associated with general retail sales, we're seeing a lot more online deals, as well. Cyber Monday, the traditional online shopping sale day, is Monday, Dec. 1. Both of these days will have some great deals, and there will be some overlap. Are phones really cheaper during Black Friday?"
"Yes, phones, including recent iPhone models, are often cheaper on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, matching (if not beating) the level of discount you'd find during any other major shopping event. This is partly because Cyber Week occurs months after most manufacturers, such as Samsung, OnePlus, Google, and Apple, have launched new devices. With the passage of time, you'll often see the more recent phones discounted by a significant amount at this time."
"iPhones are cheaper during this time because carriers like Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T offer competitive trade-in and sign-on promotions. As long as you read the fine print about the qualifications, most of these deals will cover the retail cost of the new iPhone. You'll just have to agree to a long-term installment plan that ranges between 24 months to 36 months."
Black Friday falls on Friday, Nov. 28, the day after Thanksgiving, and Cyber Monday falls on Monday, Dec. 1, with widespread online deals and overlap between the two sale days. Phones, including recent iPhone models, frequently see notable discounts during Black Friday and Cyber Monday because Cyber Week follows months after many manufacturers launch new devices. Carrier trade-in and sign-on promotions can effectively cover much or all of a new iPhone's retail cost when tied to 24- to 36-month installment plans. Deal selection focuses on percentage discount versus original price, pricing history, expert testing, stock availability, alternatives, and customer reviews.
