iPhone 6 Released: Walmart Drops iPhone 5s/5c Price

It is exiting that the big thing, iPhone 6, is coming up. And ahead of the iPhone 6 launch, Walmart is now selling iPhone 5c for just 97 cents and iPhone 5s for $79 with a two-year contract. But, there is a 90-day limit.

The stores slash the iPhone prices since June. Only back then the 16 GB iPhone 5s costed $99, down from $149; and iPhone 5c was $29, down from $49. But, why would Walmart do that? One possible reason is that this is typically a slow time for iPhone sales, especially with the future iPhone 6. The iDevices are used as a loss leader and to drive traffic in stores. This is a common practice when a new product is around the corner, as cutting the prices of the last generation helps clear off stock and make room for the new model.
