Confirmed: Wal-Mart iPhone Landing December 28th
The iPhone will arrive at Wal-Mart stores on the 28th of this month, according to information confirmed Thursday. Sales representatives from stores in California, Washington, New York, Texas, and New Jersey confirmed the date to Digital Music News, though none would disclose price points. The representatives declined the pricing discussion until product is positioned.
That leaves the matter unresolved, though analysts are expecting a sub-$100 tag, given the price-chopping reputation of Wal-Mart. That remains to be seen, though a low-ball price point would place heavy pressure on Best Buy, the first retailer to carry the device outside of Apple and AT&T stores.
The iPhone enjoyed a spectacular third quarter, thanks to a massive second-generation push, though a more subdued consumer could soften sales this quarter. Still, against the broader economic backdrop, Wal-Mart is actually growing, thanks to a migration towards cheaper goods.
