It’s the cheapest Apple Watch we’ve ever seen by far … you just have to buy an iPhone to get the astonishing $49 price tag. That screaming deal, a great student discount on a MacBook Pro, and more are in this week’s roundup of the best Apple bargains.
Apple Watch at Best Buy from $49 with an iPhone 6s or 6s Plus
So, this deal isn’t as sweet as simply getting an Apple Watch for $49, but if you are in the market for a new iPhone 6s or 6s Plus, it’s hard to beat this value. Best Buy takes $250 off any Apple Watch when you buy (or lease and activate) an iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus with a two-year contract, or lease/monthly installment plan for Verizon Wireless, AT&T or Sprint. Plus, these orders bag free shipping.
That’s by far the best deal we’ve seen for an Apple Watch. (For reference, the best price we’ve seen for any new Apple Watch alone is $200.) Just be sure to find the phone plan that’s best for you.
