Several retailers have begun rolling out early Black Friday deals, with Walmart and Amazon leading the charge. Walmart has announced a series of sales events ahead of the holiday shopping season, offering discounts on a variety of products.
According to the Dallas News, Walmart is preparing to offer rollback discounts on items like a 32-inch television for $68, a significant savings compared to regular prices.
Amazon is also getting in on the action, advertising up to 50 percent off on its own devices, such as the Fire TV Cube for $89.99, and brands like Shark, Ninja, Breville, and Sonicare are already offering sale prices.
Apple has joined the fray with its first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, now available for purchase. Wireless carriers AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon are offering up to $1,200 off via bill credits.
MacRumors reports that the best AirPods discount so far is on the AirPods Pro 3, available for $179, down from $249. Additionally, the 13-inch M5 MacBook Air models are available at $200 off, with prices starting at $1,099 for the 16GB/512GB model.
Retailers are responding to rising prices across the board, making early deals more attractive to consumers. With inflation affecting store shelves, gas prices, and online stores, these discounts provide a much-needed relief.
ZDNet notes that Walmart's early deals are already underway, with more sales events scheduled throughout the holiday season.
AppleInsider highlights that T-Mobile is offering up to $1,000 off the iPhone Duo for new and existing customers on a qualifying Experience Beyond plan.
Popsci advises that holiday shopping has already begun, with Amazon's Labor Day weekend sale featuring deals on kitchen gadgets and other items.
Manofmany suggests that buyers of the iPhone Duo now have a range of new accessories to consider, including cases from brands like Spigen, Mous, and PITAKA.
Hoopsrumors reports that the Warriors have multiple options available for Stephen Curry, including signing a one- or two-year maximum-salary deal or waiting to make a decision later in the league year.
Deadline notes that Disney and Channel 4 have struck a UK content deal, with Channel 4 becoming available on Disney+ for the first time.
