In a move that could signal a imminent launch of Iphone 6, Walmart is likely to cut the price of its IPhone 5C and IPhone 5S series phone.
A Walmart spokesperson told CNET on friday that, IPone 5C 16 GB will cost $29, down from $49 and the IPhone 5S 16GB will cost $99, down from $149. The new price will be
available with a two year contract on AT&T, Verizon and Spirint. The Updated are for in-stores purchase only and start on Friday at 9am. local time
Typically as Apple gear up to release its new IPhone, retailers cut their prices on their current smartphones. Week before 5C and 5S debuted last SEPT, the price of IPHONE 5 plunged at retailers like Walmart,
Best Buy and Target.
Besides Walmart, other Retailers are starting to offer lower price and deals for their IPhone 5C and 5S. For example Best Buy launched a weekend long program in May that let users trade in old versions of their IPhone 5S and 5C at discounted prices.
The Lowered IPhone 5C and 5S phones prices aren't the only indication that the alleged IPhone6 is forthcoming. The rumor mill has been heating up over the past couple months with the leaked image of a larger 5.5-inch phone with an enhanced camera and possible curved display.
In addition to cutting the prices of its IPHONES, Walmart is also lowering the price of iPOD Touch 16Gb fifth Generation from $209 to $195 starting on Friday.
