According to recent reports, it has been rumored that Wal-Mart will be stocking 4GB iPhones with a 2 year agreement. Although this has not been officially confirmed there has been a lot of speculation surrounding this possible addition to Wal-Mart’s plans for the iPhone. Apple originally dropped their 4GB model in favour of the larger 8GB capacity, due to public favouritism. However now the more pocket-friendly range has been released on the public, 4GB sounds a lot more tempting at $99 as opposed to it’s original $399 price tag.
However don’t count on it as a certainty as BoyGeniusReport states:
“Anyone looking to spend $99 on an iPhone probably doesn’t care that much about storage anyway and they’ll be more than happy to drop that amount for one of the best-selling smartphones in the country. Just don’t hate us if this doesn’t happen, we warned you.”
Despite this keep your eyes open for more developments in Apple’s attempts to enter the low budget consumer market.
I think that the iPhone should not be condemned to a low standard place like Walmart. I like the originality of me being the only one that I know that has one. Besides, when Apple overflows the market with cheap phones, low income people wont wanna buy the next one.
Well I work at Walmart in my city and at the end of the year we will be selling the iPhone and Walmart is not a low standard place sims. I am not sure what GB tho.
I work there as well (not only the largest, most successful retailer in the world but also the largest employer in the US) and I know for a fact people will buy them… if you think high income people don’t shop at walmart you are ignorant LOL most people that have money have learned how to manage it and don’t waste their money buying something somewhere they could have gotten a better deal at elsewhere… if that’s beyond your mentality… a fool and his gold are soon parted. LOL Making the comment you made sounds like you feel as if you’ve overpaid or you’re a “low income” person yourself and have lower income friends who can’t afford such. Would you like some help taking your foot out of your mouth sims?
If you think Walmart is so great, obviously you havent seen any of the documentary’s on its overseas workers. How they treat them. Walmart basically runs a sweatshop over there, paying little children $2 an hour to mass produce goods that are shipped over here. Another little fun fact: the Walton family donated a total of $20,000 to charity, while Bill Gates donated over $5 billion to charity last year. The Waltons do nothing but hang on to their money. Id rather shop at Harris-Teeter.
If i should buy iphone,i think will not buy it at Wal-Mart market.
any “documentary” on walmart’s over seas workers “mass producing” goods… I shouldn’t have to say it but you do realize they are a retailer and do not “produce” any good they sell… do you think auto zone actually produces anything? or JCPenny’s produces anything um I don’t know what the hell you were watching but I’m pretty sure I could find a “documentary” on how the US is so bad OH wait that fat lazy Michael Moore guy who was handed a job as an auto worker at one of the big 3 making really good money that concidered that “too much work” produced one. and ggiphone, you wont find an iPhone at the walmart neighborhood market stores… those are grocery stores only, I’m sorry you live in a town too small to have a super walmart. As far as the Walton family donating to charity, Sam is dead and the family really has nothing to do with walmart anymore. I couldn’t care less about the Waltons. If you were in the market for a car and you could pay $10K less at one dealer would you be so stupid as to pay $10k more at another? That just bad managing of your money.
It was an HBO documentary. I dont have to explain myself to anyone. Also, I dont care about Michael Moore and I dont live in a small town… our mall has Neiman Marcus, Louis Vuitton, Apple, and a bunch of other high quality name brand retailers.
