New Year Doesn't Mean End of Some Holiday Sales

January 3, 2019 by Rebecca Day|Consumer Electronics

The new year doesn't mean the end of all holiday smartphone-related sales, we found Wednesday. Apple products still are discounted at Best Buy. The iPhone X is available for $50 off with activation. Target continued to promote gift cards for smartphone purchases. It has a $200 card for purchase of the Galaxy S9, S9+ and Note 9. It pushed a $100 gift card for buying an iPhone XS, XS Max and XR with qualified activation. Some deals (see 1812180035) are gone. Amazon raised the price of its Kindle Fire HD 8, slashed to $49 during Black Friday week, back to $79.
