Walmart Gets iPhone Kiosk

Dec 29, 2008

So, atleast part of the iPhone rumors were true.

Walmart has officially started selling iPhone 3G at select stores. Walmart becomes the second third-party retailer in the US to sell iPhone 3G besides Best Buy who even offered an iPhone buying guide.

Although earlier rumors pointed at Walmart and even Costco to sell a cheaper version of iPhone 3G, possibly a 4GB iPhone for $99, that part proved to be untrue.

Walmart is selling iPhone 3G 16 GB with a 2 year contract for $297 and the 8GB model for $197. With Walmart catering to a wider range of consumers, Apple could actually end up selling more iPhones this way. We’ll have to wait and see how this changes the game.
