Wal-Mart to start selling iPhones on Sunday

By

In a sign that times are certainly changing for consumers and retailers alike, Wal-Mart announced today that it will start selling Apple’s iPhone this weekend. Wal-Mart even said that their stores could match ‘local competitors’ advertised prices during promotional periods – such as After Christmas sales. Both the 8 GB and 16 GB versions of the phone will be available in nearly 2,500 stores beginning Sunday, December 28.

Wal-Mart plans to sell the black 8-gigabyte iPhone 3G model, which also holds about 2,000 songs, for $197. The 16-gigabyte model, in black or white, will be priced at $297. All of the phones require a new two-year service agreement from AT&T Inc or a qualified upgrade, Wal-Mart said.
