There's no need to wait until Black Friday for an iPhone 5s or iPhone 5c sale. AT&T is currently offering one of the best deals on both of Apple's new handsets. You can nab a 16GB iPhone 5s for $100 or a 16GB iPhone 5c for $50. That's 50% off the suggested retail price of the iPhone 5s. As usual, these deals require that you sign a new two-year contract with AT&T.

A lot of big box retailers such as Walmart are also offering deals on Apple's latest generation of products, but these deals normally involve some kind of gift card rebate.

The Target iPad Air deal also includes a free $100 gift card, essentially making the the new tablet only $379. This is the best Black Friday iPad deal that has been announced so far.

The phone, priced at $99, drops to $79 with the mark down. Target is offering an additional 5% off if you purchase the phone with your Target REDcard. All other models remain at their original prices.

As far as the iPhone 5s is concerned, Walmart has dropped the price of that 16GB version down $10, from $199 to $189. Not a significant savings, but it’s still ten extra bucks in your pocket. Target, however, is staying with the original $199 sticker price.

Walmart has announced that it will offer the 16GB iPhone 5c for $79 and the 16GB iPhone 5s for $189. $20 is a pretty substantial discount for a new Apple product, and the $79 price point makes the iPhone 5c actually sound affordable. Both deals require that you sign a new two year contract with either AT&T, Verizon Wireless or Sprint, and are in-store only. You may want to call ahead to verify prices and availability before heading down to your local Walmart, in case they sell out.
