Walmart discounts the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 indefinitely

With the iPhone nearing its annual refresh cycle, Walmart has jumped the gun and put the current Apple smartphone offering in the discount corner to make space for the upcoming iPhone.


As a result, the Apple iPhone 4S and Apple iPhone 5 have both seen their prices slashed significantly. Walmart now sells the iPhone 5 for $129, down from $189, while the iPhone 4S is discounted from $89 to $39.

The deals are only available with new 2-year contracts with either AT&T, Spring or Verizon. T-Mobile isnt offered, as Walmart doesnt support the carrier. Other major brick and mortar retailer Best Buy is also reportedly planning to slash the price of both Apple smartphone devices by offering in-store credit.

The Apple iPhone 5S is expected to go on sale later this year. As a purported iPhone 5S live image showed, it is not going to be a completely redesigned product but more of a faster, more refined version of the current iPhone 5.
