46 models with a score, from highest score to lowest. The cap applies to today’s price: a model that goes over $1,200 drops off the list, and one that falls under it comes in. The final price is the one at the store. Basis: today’s price and the previous check.

Black Friday is on 27 Nov 2026. 46 models up to $1,200.

How to tell if the discount is real

  1. We compare with the previous check

    Each check reads the trusted-store price of each model; the benchmark is only the previous check, with no price history kept.

  2. We compare with the median, not the "was" price

    The benchmark is the model’s own price at the previous check. The "was" price the store crosses out is not used.

  3. A drop is today’s price against the previous check

    With a price 5% or more below the previous check, the model goes into the list of drops.
