Walmart just announced an exciting deal ahead of Black Friday, as it plans to slash the prices of select Apple products on Friday, Nov. 21.

Black Friday is just around the corner and will bring notable discounts and attractive deals as always, but Walmart wants to start early and will offer discounts on Apple products starting this week. More specifically, Walmart's new promotion will kick off this Friday, Nov. 21, at 8:00 AM at Walmart stores nationwide.

"Walmart just upped the ante once again. For the second year, the retailer is lowering the prices on popular toys, electronics and more to match or beat select Black Friday offers from top national competitors one week early. Walmart's Pre-Black Friday Event begins Friday, Nov. 21 at 8:00 a.m. and also gives customers an early taste of Walmart's Black Friday prices by moving up items typically found on Black Friday," the retailer touted in a press release on Wednesday, Nov. 19.

"The retail environment is incredibly competitive and we know that our customers are looking to us for the lowest prices and great deals all season long," added Duncan Mac Naughton, chief merchandising officer at Walmart U.S. "That's why we've more than doubled the amount of items included in our Pre-Black Friday Event. Combined with our Black Friday weekend, there is absolutely no other place to shop this holiday season."

As part of this upcoming promotion, Walmart will be offering the 16GB Wi-Fi-only iPad Air 2 for $489, and the purchase will include a $100 Walmart gift card. This will essentially bring the price down to $389 for frequent Walmart shoppers.

Also starting on Friday, Nov. 21, Walmart will be selling the 16GB iPhone 6 for $179 when agreeing to sign a two-year contract, with a $75 Walmart gift card included with the purchase. The retailer is also offering a $75 gift card with the purchase of an iPhone 5S, which costs $79 on a two-year contract. Meanwhile, those who want to purchase an iPhone 6 or iPhone 5S with AT&T Next or Verizon Edge will be able to do so for $0 down and get the same Walmart gift card as well.

Walmart notes that these deals will be available through Nov. 27 or while supplies last, which means that the offer may expire sooner. Hot items such as the new iPhone 6 or iPad Mini 2 will likely be very popular with such discounts, so interested shoppers might want to hurry if they want to take advantage of this Pre-Black Friday promotion.
