Apple Announces Cyber Monday 2018 Deala For iPads, iPhones and MacBooks
Apple has confirmed its Cyber Monday 2018 sales, but according to the Apple Store Cyber Monday 2018 ad, the company will only be offering gift cards on regularly priced products and many of the latest models are excluded.
This means no iPhone XS, XS Max or XR and no Apple Watch Series 4. On the otehr hand, there are some discounts on iPad and MacBook ranges.
Apple's iPhone Cyber Monday deals have to do with older models, and other sources such as Walmart seems to offer bigger discounts, while it will also offer coupons of up to $300 on the latest models. In any case, Apple is offering the following iPhone deals (unlocked):
