Apple isn’t usually the kind of manufacturer that sees its latest and greatest wares receive discounts at retail, with even the smallest of price drop rarely associated with something branded with an Apple logo. When Best Buy reduced both the iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3 as part of its recent Black Friday sale, it was already going against the tide and, we suspect, Apple’s wishes.

Now that the Christmas Eve is over and the top retail stores need to sell out and clear off all of their remaining stocks prior to turn of the year, there are plenty of after Christmas sales online. Sales that starts the day after Christmas is what everyone is looking forward to.

With this last online sales of the year, shoppers have the chance to pick up clearance items at reduced prices and other great deals with their gift cards and holiday spending cash.
