Black Friday & Cyber Monday 2018: iPhones and smart TVs being discounted isn't the biggest concern for tech enthusiasts.
Smart TVs and iPhones WILL CERTAINLY BE DISCOUNTED during the Black Friday 2018 shopping extravaganza, but the question remains: which products will receive discounts? Last year, thanks to Black Friday 2017, Apple sold over 6 million iPhone X units globally, celebrating Apple's 10th anniversary, making consumers believe that the iPhone X was Apple's money-making machine. However, just under a year later, with the introduction of the 2018 iPhone lineup offering little improvement over the iPhone X, and with Apple discontinuing the iPhone X, consumer confidence in such a valuable product has wavered.
Most of the SOUGHT-AFTER DISCOUNTED PRODUCTS in Black Friday 2018 will be older, out-of-fashion models from 2016 and 2017. As for THIS YEAR'S FLAGSHIP MODELS such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, S9, or the iPhone XS Max, XS, and XR, they won't require discounts as they inherently attract buyers.
Instead, the opportunity to own a DISCOUNTED iPhone like the iPhone X, iPhone 8/8 Plus, iPhone 7/7 Plus, iPhone 6, 6S, or 6S Plus, with discounts ranging from 35% to 50%, is commonplace. Some retailers even offer enticing iPhone deals, like buy one iPhone X get one iPhone 6, for example. Last year featured prominent deals like buying an iPhone X for 4,999,000 VNĐ and having the chance to get 4 iPhone X 64GB models for free during Black Friday and Online Friday 2017, so there's no reason not to expect that the dream of owning an affordably priced iPhone will be within reach this year.
