With the December holidays approaching, retailers are beginning to offer significant discounts off of their products in an attempt to lure shoppers into stores. Walmart has kicked off an ongoing discount on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, and MacMall is selling a high-end Retina MacBook Pro for an ultra low price.
We've also got deals on the iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3, and discounts on several Apple accessories in this week's Buyer's Guide deals post.
Walmart kicked off some new $50 off deals on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus today, which will last through February. A two-year contract is required to get the discounted price, and Walmart also offers a trade-in program to drop the pricing even lower. Deals are available in-store only.
Walmart is selling the 16GB iPhone 6 for $129, down from the previous $179 price tag, and it's also offering the 16GB iPhone 6 Plus for $229, down from $279.
The iPhone 5s is on sale at Walmart as well, now available for $49 instead of $79.
MacMall is taking pre-orders for the 2013 2.6GHz/16GB/1TB Retina MacBook Pro priced at $2,599.99, down from the regular price of $3,199, a $600 discount. Several 2014 Retina MacBook Pro models are also discounted at various retailers, as seen below:

Best Buy is offering $50 off its entire selection of iPad Air 2 models, including both Wi-Fi and Cellular in all colors and capacities. The prices aren't quite as good as the deals the company offered on Black Friday, but the pricing is better than Apple's.
With the price drop, the entry-level 16GB Wi-Fi only iPad Air 2 is available for $449.99 instead of $499, and the entry-level cellular model is available for $579.99 instead of $629.
