That's with a 2 year contract of course but down from the black friday price of $45.
----------------------------------------It's no secret that this particular model hasn't been selling well so Wally World is probably just trying to unload excess inventory, but hey, if you actually want one of these puppies, now would be the time I guess. They also seem to have some other deals on tap for this Friday . The retail giant is slashing the costs of several other Apple products too. The iPhone 5s will be on sale for $127 with a two year contract, dropping from $199. Buying a 16GB iPad Mini will come with a $50 gift card while $30 iTunes gift cards will be sold for $25. The sale starts Friday at 8 a.m. and lasts until Dec. 24.   |

I'd still rather pay full price for the phone rather than get locked into a fee-ridden contract. Bought my iPhone for $650 but pay $50 per month for service, period, plus I can use my phone in any country in the world because I'm not wedded to a carrier. Just my 2c

Apple forces companies to order large quantities far in advance or get nothing. This is at least semi-monopolistic and causes telcos to dump other phones if they over-order new Apples. By the time Apple phones are dumped on the market, there should be all sorts of surprising price reductions as other phone makers are ruined.

1. iPhones are not phones, they are pocket computers
----------------------------------------2. nobody is forced to sell them 3. other phone makers are not ruined by Apple's (totally legal) practices, but by their **** products which can not find a customer. 4. there is not the Point 4.
