Walmart reportedly to start selling iPhone — for $99?
The Associated Press is reporting that Walmart will start selling the iPhone (possibly this month), and the Dayton Business Journal is adding that it will cost $99.
The AP story reports that a Walmart employee in Uniondale, N.Y., told The Associated Press on Monday that the store will start selling Apple’s iPhone, confirming media reports over the weekend.
The story goes on to say that the San Jose Mercury News reported Friday that store employees in California said the phone would be on sale by the last week of December, and maybe before Christmas.
In the DBJ story, they report that rumors of $99 iPhones coming to Walmart gained momentum over the weekend because the retailer reportedly has been training its employees on how to sell the Apple Inc. devices.
They went on to say that Bloomberg said it talked to employees at five Walmarts in California who said the phones would be in stores by the end of the month.
Walmart Stores Inc. would be the second independent retail chain after Best Buy Inc. to sell the phone. The phone is also sold at Apple and AT&T Inc. stores.
