Apple’s Black Friday 2019 sales are always forgettable, so stay away. Instead, the real deals are to be found at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart and Sam’s Club. So here are my picks of the hottest iPhone deals you can buy right now as well as the Black Friday doorbusters you need to bookmark.
Note: you can find my Black Friday 2019 guides to the current live sales from Amazon (here), from Best Buy (here), from Target (here) and from Walmart (here). I have also done roundups of the best Samsung phone and TV savings.

Expected Apple Black Friday iPhone Doorbusters
Interestingly, all the major stores have left iPhones out of their Black Friday ads so far. But, based on historical data and discussions with industry insiders, these are the best Black Friday doorbuster deals you can expect. Just remember: the chances of you landing one is small.
iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max – savings with a new two-year contract: Walmart ($300 gift card), Best Buy ($200 direct savings), Target ($200/250 gift card), Amazon ($100 direct savings) – Not participating: Costco, Kohl’s.
iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR – savings with a new two-year contract: Walmart ($400 gift card), Best Buy ($250/300 direct savings), Target ($30 gift card), Amazon ($300-500 direct savings on refurbished models) – Not participating: as above
Note: for older iPhones, don’t expect the deals on Black Friday itself to beat the Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart rock bottom prices available right now. So don’t wait for something better.
