Best iPod Black Friday Deals
If you’re in the market for a new iPod, look no further, as these are the best iPod Black Friday deals you’ll find.
While Apple will have its own discounts on iPods come Black Friday at Apple Stores, you don’t actually need to shop there in order to take advantage of discounted iPods, and Apple doesn’t really offer the best discounts to begin with, compared to third-party retail stores.
Furthermore, while most of the bigger sales require you to wait in line out in the freezing cold and fight the crowds, pretty much all of the iPod deals this year can be found online as well, allowing you to stay home in your warm pajamas and drink a cup of hot coffee while you save money.
While the iPod has lost a lot of its popularity over the last few years, it’s undoubtedly still a useful product that many teenagers enjoy using, mostly thanks to the ability to offer an iPhone experience without the phone and without the hefty monthly service fees.
If you’re looking to get an iPod for a gift for that special someone on Christmas, Black Friday will be the best time to buy without a doubt, but you also might have some luck further into December with scattered deals, but Black Friday guarantees to have some great iPod deals for shoppers.
Best iPod Black Friday Deals for 2014
The helpful table below lists off all of the iPod Black Friday deals that we could find. Unsurprisingly, there aren’t a lot (certainly not as many as the iPad), but nonetheless, you’ll see some sweet discounts on Apple’s media player on Black Friday.
Most of these iPod deals, if not all of them, are for the latest 5th-generation iPod Touch, which comes with a 4-inch Retina display, an impressive camera, and an aluminum shell that comes in multiple colors, including blue, red, green, space gray and silver.
It’s also important to note that some of these iPod Black Friday deals don’t come with a straight-up discount, but instead include free store gift cards that you can use on other stuff in the store.
| iPod Model | Deal | Savings | Store |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32GB iPod Touch 5 | $249 w/ $50 Gift Card | $50 | Target |
| 16GB iPod Touch 5 | $195 w/ $30 Gift Card | $30 | Walmart |
| 16GB iPod Touch 5 | $149 | $50 | Best Buy |
| 8GB iPod Touch 4 | $79 | $50 | GameStop |
| Any iPod Touch | $199+ w/ $25 Gift Card | $25 | Apple |
| Any iPod Nano | $149+ w/ $25 Gift Card | $25 | Apple |
| 16GB iPod Touch 5 | $149 after MIR | $50 | RadioShack |
The best savings you’ll find for an iPod this Black Friday is $50, which can be had at Target, Best Buy, GameStop and RadioShack, but the best deal overall would have to be at Best Buy where you can get a 16GB 5th-generation iPod Touch for just $149 after an instant discount.
The worst deal is at the Apple Store itself, where shoppers will only receive a $25 store gift card after they purchase an iPod Touch or iPod Nano at full price.
However, while many other stores only offer certain iPod models, the Apple Store deal may be good for those who are looking for a different model that isn’t on sale at other retail locations, in which case it could be a good deal for some Black Friday shoppers.
