Amazon has it on sale for just $749 ahead of Black Friday, or $250 off its $999 MSRP. That's a 25% savings and a new record-low, matching the cheapest price the 8GB version saw. (The same deal was live at Best Buy for the paid tiers of its membership program on Thursday, Nov. 14; it'll be open to everyone there on Friday, Nov. 15.)

New deals will drop as often as every five minutes during select periods throughout the deal event, so customers should come back often to find the latest discounts to check off their holiday shopping lists.

You don't have to wait until Black Friday to score these deals from Amazon. These stellar early discounts on Wirecutter-approved products are already available.
