According to a leaked internal memo posted by TmoNews, T-Mobile is going to be dropping the upfront price of both the iPhone 5s and 5c to $0 down on its usual installment plans for Black Friday. That cuts the usual down payment for the iPhone 5s down from $149 and the iPhone 5c from $49. The deal will officially kick off on Friday and last through Sunday, but the report notes that “a select number of stores will be accepting orders from Thursday evening.” After getting your iPhone for $0 down, you’ll pay around $20 a month for 24 months on T-Mobile installment plans.
Some regionals carriers are also gearing up for big discounts this Friday. Appalachian Wireless announced it will offer the 16GB iPhone 5, 5C or 5S for a penny on contract today only and nTelos will also have the iPhone 5c for $0 on Friday. Appalachian is also advertising the penny deal for Black Friday on its site, but no word if iPhones will be included after today. T-Mobile definitely beats Walmart’s best deal with the iPhone 5c for around $45 on contract, but we’re thinking other retailers and carriers might announce iPhone discounts for Black Friday too.

Amazon is offering the Logitech FabricSkin folio keyboard case for iPad Air for $119.99 with free shipping. That’s a $30 price drop and the first ever discount on this recently released iPad Air accessory. It features a reachable battery w/ up to 3 months of use on a full charge, iOS specific shortcut keys, and ample protection from everyday bumps/drops and even water hazards.
9to5Mac reviewed several iPad Air keyboard cases and found the Logitech FabricSkin to be the winner:
Using the accessory as a case for the Air while not in keyboard mode is comfortable and convenient. Relatively, the cover (which protects the front and back of the iPad Air) is not much bulkier than a non-keybaord case built for the same purpose. However, the electronics in the accessory add some weight. The volume rocker, rear camera, speakers, and power button are all accessible while the cover is closed.

Amazon also has the new Bose SoundDock Series III Digital Music System with Lightning connector on for $224 shipped right now. That’s $25 off the original listing and only the second time Amazon has offered the SoundDock III this low. This will charge all compatible devices through the Lightning connector dock, comes with a remote control and is available in black, blue, green, orange, and purple. Like most of Bose’s audio gear, the SoundDock Series III has received a 4.3 stars out of 5 rating on Amazon.

As part of their Early Doorbusters Blue Sunday promotion, Best Buy has the Logitech wireless Boombox Bluetooth speaker for $149.99 with free shipping.

It features an ultra-thin .24″ profile, sleep/wake functionality, and a durable aluminum shell to protect your iPad when traveling. Perfect for transforming your iPad 2/3/4 into an amazing productivity tool. Amazon reviewers give it 3 stars.
The sound is so full that I can easily use it on a desktop and almost forget I’m not using my $200 Audyssey Lower East Side speakers or pop it in a rental car and don’t worry about getting your iPhone to work with a new car’s stereo. Speakerphone calls rival a conference room Polycom that costs 10x the price. This hits most of the sweet spots and I believe that a majority of people will find this the best option.
The UE‘s features include speakerphone functionality, multiple device access and an ultra-portable design and 6 hour+ battery. It’s not just 9to5Mac that loves the UE, 225 unique Amazon reviewers rate it 4.5 stars. Available in black or other colors for more.

Time to turn you iPad into an entertainment powerhouse. Amazon is offering up to 48% off the Belkin Thunderstorm home theater speaker and case. The 30-pin version (iPad 2/3) is now $129.99, and the Thunderbolt model (iPad 4) is $149.99. The 48% discount figure is derived from a $250 retail price on the 30pin version, which is oddly more than the Thunderbolt model. Anyways, both models are significantly discounted and that’s all that matters. It features a full-range speaker system, protective casing, and various angles for optimal entertainment consumption. Rated 4.5 stars.
9to5Mac found it to be perfect for iPad users who are constantly gaming or watching videos:
I’ve tried many Bluetooth speakers from Logitech, Jawbone, NYNE, JBL and more, and I can honestly say none quite compare to Thunderstorm when it comes to a rich, immersive sound experience for watching video on an iPad. Its a unique experience with Thunderstorm, fine tuned specifically for the movie watching experience, and it’s definitely worth your attention if much of your time with an iPad is spent watching video.
