Good Things May Come To Those Who Wait..
At Personal Money Store we talk a lot about payday loans, but we also like to keep you informed on bargains buys and money saving tips as well. The latest on our list to share with you is what we have heard in regards to Apples flagship product the Apple iPhone.
Have you seen the latest publicity on the Apple iPhone? New information has leaked out across the internet claiming that Wal-Mart will become an Apple iPhone distributor. Huh?
How Did That Happen?
Wal-Mart is not exactly what you would call a leader in the home electronics arena. Of what they do offer in consumer electronics that are name brand and industry standard, they seem to lack in qualified sales representatives. This provides a less than savory environment to lure buyers into purchasing their products.
What Wal-Mart lacks as a consumer electronics dealer in comparison to other chains who are offering electronics as their specialty, makes it even more of a challenge to become successful in the electronics industry.
Wal-Mart’s New Approach May Allow Them To Compete With The Big Boys
Wal-Mart seems to have caught on to this dilemma and has begun contracting out qualified staff from other firms to work on site at select locations to educate customers and Wal-Mart employees on the different consumer electronic products and the differences between them. Some of these technologies include things like Digital Television, HDTV, LCD, Plasma and etc.
In an effort to increase sales, and provide the customer with a better buyers experience they will be addressing consumers individual needs to help them find the best product for the best price.
Tag Teaming With Apple
Wal Mart is where you can get those wonderful toys.
By teaming up with Apple, Wal-Mart has hopes to win more customers over to the Wal-Mart experience by providing the popular iPhone. This would make Wal-mart one of just a few select distributors for the iPhone including Apple Stores, AT&T and Best Buy.
Rumors which have leaked out on the internet say that the IPhone may be available at Wal-Mart by Dec 15th for only $99 which will help draw in consumers looking for those holiday gift sales before Christmas. The rumors say that this buy will be for Apples 4Gig IPhone model only, not the 8Gig. That’s a price so low, you won’t need payday loans to get your hands on the latest and greatest.
More Rumors, Different Story
Mac Rumors.com however claims that it will only carry the 8Gig model of the iPhone and the delivery date will be on December 28th missing Christmas altogether. The savings on the 8Gig model won’t be putting anyone out of business as the sale price is set to be $197 which is only $2 less than the $199 norm.
Apple has been very selective in its choice of retailers for its iPhone product. Choosing Wal-Mart as an industry retailer will further increase Apples domination of the mobile phone market due to the sheer volume of product that Wal-Mart sells. The range of merchandise offered at Wal-Mart draws a multitude of traffic to each of their store locations on a daily basis from which Apple will be able to capitalize on.
The Apple IPhone has become a household name, it’s readily available and comes with benefits. Kind of like payday loans.

WOW! If they will be selling the Apple iPhones for $99, it will be wiped off the counters as soon as it gets there. Thank you so much for the tip. I will definitely be looking out for that. There’s a special someone that is dying to get his hands on one of those and that would be an awesome, out-of-the-world deal.
This makes me excited because I have always wanted an i Phone but due to the cost I have not wanted to purchase one but this makes it possible for me to look into it!! What a great partnership apple and walmart, great deals with great products!
I won’t be buying an iPhone, even if it is only $99 at Wally World. However, that is a shrewd move on both parties’ part. That’s guaranteeing that Apple will move a lot of merchandise, for sure. It’s liable to fly off the shelves, even though I do agree that Wal-Mart doesn’t have quite the helpful staff that some other chains do. However, that’s a great deal.
