iPhone, iPad Black Friday Deals at Walmart, Best Buy, Target

By Katie Chan

Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, has typically represented the start of the holiday shopping seasons. Over the past few years, more stores open their doors a day early to compete for the holiday sales. Major retailers, including Target and Toys R Us, slowly have pushed opening times into Thanksgiving night.  

Walmart said Tuesday that it will hold two major sales events at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Thanksgiving day, two hours earlier than last year.

Walmart will offer 21 "guaranteed" products this year- 18 more than last year - if customers stand in line for them during the 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday events, according to a company press release. 

The Walmart Black Friday 2013 deals includes a 16GB Apple iPad mini for $299 with a $100 Walmart gift card, an iPhone 5C for $45 or a 5S for $189, both with a $75 gift card, and an Emerson 50-inch LED HDTV for $288.
