Black Friday means incredible deals, especially in the electronics category. The retail-oriented holiday is so popular with shoppers that even brands that you typically can’t find on sale usually are, and in the electronics category, that brand is Apple. Apple, made popular for manufacturing the iPhone, iPad, and iPod, will be featured at unheard of markdowns in a variety of retailers. But, how can you guarantee you are finding the best price? That’s where we come in. We have scoured the web looking for the best deals on Apple products this Black Friday. With information sourced from BFAdScan.net, where you can preview and print Black Friday ads, and iDigital times, we present our opinion of the best deals on Apple products this Black Friday.

iPad Air (16GB)- Look at Walmart for this one. The retailer is offering the iPad Air at $397 with a $100 Walmart gift card (combined price of $297). If you don’t feel like dealing with the hassle of the gift card, you can find the same model at Best Buy, Sam’s Club, or h.h. gregg for just two dollars more at $299.
