Hoping to receive an 5S or 5C this year? Your wish may come true as various retailers announced discounted price on Apple's latest smartphones.
Reuters A staff member sets up the new iPhone 5Ss for a display picture at Apple Inc's announcement event in Beijing, Sept. 11, 2013. Apple Inc's millions of Chinese fans will celebrate the near-simultaneous launch of the latest iPhone in China and the United States, but one group will have little to cheer - the smugglers. An early launch of Apple's latest smartphone in China is expected to stifle a thriving grey market worth billions of dollars a year built around smuggling from Hong Kong, where in the past the U.S. tech giant's gadgets have gone on sale months before they reach official channels in the mainland.
Target will offer the 16 GB iPhone 5S for $179 as long as consumers are willing to sign a two-year contract with Verizon or AT&T. Moreover, buyers will also receive a $30 gift card. Thus, consumers may buy the iPhone 5S for $149 using the gift card. Target opens at 8 PM on Nov. 28 and will last until supplies last or until Nov. 30. Customers who make a Black Friday purchase worth more than $75 will receive a coupon for 20 percent off the final price of a future shopping trip.
WalMart offers the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. The retailer offers the iPhone 5S for $189 with a 24-month lock-in period with your chosen carrier. Moreover, buyers will receive $75 gift card which they can use in buying in the store. Thus, you must shell out $114 to buy the iPhone 5S. Meanwhile, consumers can walk out with iPhone 5C for free as WalMart offers the low cost iPhone for $45 plus a $75 gift card. These deals are available only on November 29 and 30. WalMart is open at 6 p.m on Thanksgiving and will hold two sales events. The first begins at 6 p.m to midnight and the other will start at 8 p.m to midnight.
