Walmart now offers iPhone 5 for $127, 4S for $47, and third-gen iPad for $399; Target to discount Virgin’s Prepaid 4S to $399

Walmart is continuing to slash price tags on Apple products this holiday season, as the global retailer just announced it is now offering the 16GB iPhone 5 for $127.

Walmart also cut the iPhone 4S from $89.97 to $47 starting today, with both smartphones sales subject to the usual two-year contract, and it further lowered the (update below)

16 GB third-generation iPad with Wi-Fi to $399. Walmart said its iPad deal would feature a bonus $30 iTunes card beginning Dec. 17, but all special rollback prices are in-store only.

Target plans to offer an Apple product sale, as well. It will discount  Virgin Mobile’s Prepaid 16GB iPhone 4S from $449.99 to $399.99 starting Dec. 16, but the deal is only available at Target Mobile locations.

Update 1:  Walmart’s story continues to evolve. We’ll continue to update.

Update 2: Walmart’s PR agency made multiple corrections to its original announcement today. While the first press release said the third-generation iPad would go on sale for $399 on Dec. 17, a later correction indicated the deal actually started today for the fourth-generation iPad. Now, this evening, Walmart’s PR agency has made another correction: today’s $399 sale is for the third-generation iPad. The rollback prices for the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S remain correct.

9to5Mac contacted Walmart directly today on multiple occasions to verify the sale prices advertised in the press release, but only its PR agency would comment on specifics and make subsequent corrections.

iPhone 5 Deal at Best Buy Cuts Price to $150 Today Only

Today Best Buy will offer any iPhone on any carrier to its customers for $50 off, cutting the price of the iPhone 5 down to $150 on a two-year contract.

The Best Buy deal extends to the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S, but it only lasts for one day. Unlike other stores which only offer the 16GB model of the iPhone 5, Best Buy wells all storage options for the phone, so users can save $50 on the 32GB and 64GB models as well.

Users who want the deal can buy the discounted iPhone 5 in stores or online. Either way they’ll have to go to their local Best Buy to pick up the new phone along with its contract.

Best Buy’s limited-time deal is currently the best price for the iPhone 5. Apple devices typically don’t go on sale very often because of Apple’s deals with its retail partners, so this could be the last time in a while to get a deal on the iPhone.


While the iPhone 5 was difficult to find in stores and online when it first launched, finding one now isn’t very difficult. Even with this deal the iPhone 5 is relatively easy to pick up when just walking into a store.
