3. Who Wants an iPhone 5 for Half Price? Best Buy is slashing the price of an iPhone 5 in half, according to PCmag.com, for customers bringing in a working iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S during a promotion this Labor Day weekend. The retail store's trade-in deal starts today and runs through Sept. 2. Best Buy is offering "at least 50-percent off" the standard purchase price of both 16GB and 32GB iPhone 5s to customers bringing in their older models to trade in, Best Buy said. The catch — customers will have to sign two-year contracts with either AT&T, Sprint, or Verizon to take advantage of the deal.

So, for your health, an apple a day keeps the doctor away; apple juice – not so much.
