“Wal-Mart Stores Inc., seeking to attract customers after the post-Thanksgiving rush, is selling Apple Inc.’s iPhone 6 for as little as $129, a reduction of $50 from the retailer’s usual price,” Lindsey Rupp reports for Bloomberg News. “Starting this week, the company is offering that price when customers buy the 16-gigabyte model and sign up for two-year contracts from AT&T Inc. (T), Verizon Wireless or Sprint Corp., according to the company. Wal-Mart is selling larger-screen iPhone 6 Plus for as little as $229, down from $279.”

Wal-Mart also is selling the iPhone 5S for $49 with a contract, down from $79… Even before the cuts, the prices were below retail levels. The retailer is selling the iPhone 6 64-gigabyte model for $229, reduced from $279.”
