Apple authorized reseller Best Buy on Thursday kicked off its Black Friday Sale, with the lowest prices we've seen this season on iPad Air 2s, Apple Watch, and Apple Watch Sport.
Through Friday, Best Buy's Black Friday Sale shaves $100 to $125 off iPad Air 2, and $50 to $100 off Apple Watches. The highlights are below and shoppers can compared Best Buy's prices to its competitors in our live Apple Watch Price Guide & iPad Price Guides.
Update: B&H Photo just matched or beat most of Best Buy's AppleWatch prices for shoppers outside NY. Since Best Buy collects sales tax on all orders and B&H only collects on orders shipped to New York, with an average 7.5% sales tax, shoppers may find a lower net price here.
