US Shoppers Spent A Record $1B Via Mobile On Black Friday

More U.S. shoppers are rushing to their phones and tablets rather than to physical stores on Black Friday than ever before. U.S. consumers spent a record $1.2 billion via mobile on Friday, according to a new report from Adobe. This represents a generous 33% increase from last year. Online spending as a whole also blasted through previous records, with shoppers spending $3.34 billion overall, a 21.6% jump over last year. The best-selling electronics on Black Friday were Apple iPads, Samsung 4K TVs, Apple MacBook Air, LG TVs and the Microsoft Xbox, according to the report. It appears that video games and consoles were hot-ticket items, with the Nintendo NES Classic, the Playstation VR bundle, and the Playstation 4 Call Of Duty: Black Ops bundle being quick to sell out.
