T-Mobile, regional carriers offering iPhone 5s and 5c for $0 down on Black Friday

According to a leaked internal memo posted by TmoNews, T-Mobile is going to be dropping the upfront price of both the iPhone 5s and 5c to $0 down on its usual installment plans for Black Friday. That cuts the usual down payment for the iPhone 5s down from $149 and the iPhone 5c from $49. The deal will officially kick off on Friday and last through Sunday, but the report notes that “a select number of stores will be accepting orders from Thursday evening.” After getting your iPhone for $0 down, you’ll pay around $20 a month for 24 months on T-Mobile installment plans.

Some regionals carriers are also gearing up for big discounts this Friday. Appalachian Wireless announced it will offer the 16GB iPhone 5, 5C or 5S for a penny on contract today only and nTelos will also have the iPhone 5c for $0 on Friday. Appalachian is also advertising the penny deal for Black Friday on its site, but no word if iPhones will be included after today. T-Mobile definitely beats Walmart’s best deal with the iPhone 5c for around $45 on contract, but we’re thinking other retailers and carriers might announce iPhone discounts for Black Friday too.

Earlier this week Walmart released their entire Black Friday deals and amongst the best is a free $75 gift card with the purchase of an iPhone 5s or 5c. Now, that is a great deal considering the iPhone 5c typically costs $99 on a 2-year contract so the free gift card would offset nearly 75%…

Just like Target did yesterday, Walmart has decided to officially release its Black Friday ad well ahead of the highly anticipated holiday. As you might imagine, it will be offering tons of great deals from electronics and Blu-rays to video games and big screen TVs.

iPad 2 16GB WiFi $349 (13% savings), 4th generation iPad $449 (10% savings), more

UPDATE: The iPad’s on Ebay have sold out

UPDATE: Ebay is now offering the 4th Gen. iPad (16GB Wi-Fi) in black or white for only $429.99 shipped. This is $20 less than Walmart’s deal for the same condition (NEW) iPad.

Walmart is rolling back prices on every in-stock iPad 2 and Retina 4th generation iPad while supplies last. This deal nets you a 16GB WiFi iPad 2 for just $349 (13% savings) or a 4th generation iPad for $449 (10% savings)

We typically see a couple $50 price drops over the course of a month (typically as an eBay Daily Deal), but a sizable discount for iPad 2 is certainly much more rare. Jumping up to a 4th generation iPad will get you a beautiful Retina display, faster A6X processor, the new Lightning connector and other performance bumps. If you can get by without those upgrades the iPad 2 is still a capable tablet.

Sale prices are available for multiple storage capacities, colors, and WiFi/cellular models. Browse the entire selection here.

Apple iPod Shuffle 4th gen. 2GB (Refurb.) $24 w/ free in-store pickup or $5 shipping (Reg. $49 new)

 

Update: Sold out!  Don’t miss out next time.  Follow Electronicsforward for all the latest deals… TwitterRSS FeedFacebookGoogle+

Walmart is offering a refurbished Apple iPod Shuffle 4th gen. 2GB for just $24 with free in-store pickup or about $5 shipping to have it sent directly to your doorstep. That is easily the best price we have ever seen for any iPod Shuffle. As a further price comparison, the current 5th generation iPod shuffle retails for $49 (Amazon charges $46). The only real difference between the 4th and 5th gen shuffles are the colors offered.

In my opinion, the iPod Shuffle is the ultimate workout music player. It features convenient (clickable!) physical buttons and a built-in clip so you can easily attach to any part of your clothing. 2GB is large enough to fit up to 500 songs, which is plenty long enough to get you through any workout. Deal is currently available for blue, green, purple, and slate colors.

Woot’s Daily Deal is the Hisense 40K360 40″ 1080p LED HDTV (refurbished) for $249.99 with $5 shipping.

It features 3 HDMI inputs including MHL enabled for Roku Sticks, VGA and RCA inputs, 50,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio and Energy Star compliance.  90-day Woot warranty applies.
