Apple is planning to unveil its next generation iPhone 5S and low-cost iPhone 5C on September 10, based on a number of rumors from authentic sources
Earlier, the device was available for $128 on-contract. For Android fans, Walmart is also offering Samsung Galaxy S4 at a discounted price of $138 that is $30 less than the price of Galaxy S4 for AT&T.
If in case you don't need the latest. You could get an iPhone 4S for $39, and only 97 cents for a new iPhone 4 on contract. The Samsung Galaxy S3 on Verizon is now also just 97 cents (the AT&T version has been available at that price since last month at Walmart).
Walmart also announced more modest rollbacks of $50 a piece for new iPads.
According to the leaked specs, the iPhone 5S is expected to come with 4-inch 1136 × 640 display and a new 12 megapixel backside camera with dual LED flash. The new handset may come with 2GB of RAM, a quad-core SGX 554MP4 GPU, an A6 CPU and improved LTE. It also has a bigger battery than its predecessor. It is also likely to include an NFC reader and a Fingerprint Reader.
At the same time there are also talks of a budget version of the iPhone 5S. Many have suggested that the budget iPhone (or iPhone Light) could even become a new Apple product line in its own right, stepping out from the established iPhone canon. Rumours suggest that it will feature a 4-inch screen and a plastic chassis - with a design similar to the iPod Touch with speaker grills, a headphone socket and Lightning port at the bottom.
