Walmart: iPhone 6 Plus Deals Slash Sales Price, Samsung Galaxy S5 And iPhone 6 In Stock For This Deal
Walmart rollback is slashing prices for some of the hottest smartphones, making new deals for Apple’s very popular iPhone 6 Plus and Samsung’s Galaxy S5. The iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 6 price cut is $50 lower than the retailer’s usual price. So don’t worry if you missed out during Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals for a new phone, the iPhone 6 is finally affordable.
As previously reported by the Inquisitr, rumors claim the Apple Watch may dual launch with a new iPhone version in early 2015. The new device could be made of some of the iPhone 7 rumors, or 6S rumors. Also, Samsung’s all new Galaxy S6 is rumored to launch this spring.
Starting this last weekend, Walmart began selling Apple’s new phones for as little as $129, which is $50 off the regular price. The newly discounted 16GB iPhone 6 is only eligible with a two-year contract with AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint. The Apple Store sells the same iPhone 6 model for $199. The 64GB model is also on sale at Walmart for $229 (originally $279).
The price cut of $50 off the iPhone 6 Plus brings it to just $229, instead of the normal retail of $279.
If a 6 and 6 Plus are still too much, get the iPhone 5s for $49 on contract, down from $79.
Android fans aren’t excluded from this holiday sale, Walmart is taking $60 off a Samsung Galaxy S5 for only $79 with a two-year contract, down from the usual $139.
To take advantage of the offers, customers cannot find this deal on Walmart.com but must shop in-store.
How long will this deal last? The deal, only available in stores, will run through February, is what Walmart said according to Huffingtonpost, but was also reported to only be running for a week by Bloomberg. A different report said “who knows how long it will be on sale.”
The availability is unclear but will most likely stick around until at least Christmas.
The iPhone 6 and Galaxy S5 deals, which will only be available in stores, reflects the fact that shoppers aren’t as focused on one-time shopping events such as Black Friday, Walmart said. Industry wide, the long Black Friday weekend was a disappointment for retailers. The NRF estimated that sales declined 11 percent during the period.
“Gift buying no longer happens on just one day or in just one way,” Scott McCall, Wal-Mart’s senior vice president of toys and seasonal merchandising, said in the statement reported by Lowellsun. “We’re seeing more customers shopping across the season while visiting both our store and online aisles.”
Despite the decline in retail sales, the iPhone 6 is on track to be Apple’s best selling iPhone yet. The company said it sold more than 10 million new iPhones the first three days they were on sale, and Neil Cybart, an Apple analyst, estimated last month that Apple will sell 68 million iPhones this quarter, up 33.3 percent over the same period last year.
