Best Buy's Selling 16GB iPhones For A Dollar!: iPhone 7 Designs Leaked Online?
Best Buy is selling iPhones for a dollar and the catch is, buyers have to sign up for a two-year contract with Sprint or Verizon, according to CNN Money.
For example, a 16GB iPhone 6 is for a dollar and as if that was not enough, if you're trading in a working iPhone 5 or a newer model, Best Buy will throw in a $200 gift card.
The 64GB and 128 GB are not included in the promo. As expected, the iPhone 6 is a hot seller this holiday season. Apple's CEO, Tim Cook said that the company will likely sell a record number of its phones and will best the 74.5 million iPhones sold during the last quarter of 2014.
In the last three months, the average amount a customer spent on iPhones was $670, a $67 dollar hike from last year.
Last quarter, Apple sold 48 million phones and that is 22% more that it sold during the same time last year and the money made from the phones grew even more, a cool 36% over last year.
The holiday-shopping season is almost over and with less than a week, retailers are pushing last-minute deals to lure consumers. That means potentially big discounts for late shoppers, revealed CNET.
The sale ends on Sunday and the iPhone offer is good both online and in-store, a Best Buy spokeswoman said.
Meanwhile, the designs for multiphone iPhone 7 has leaked online. The handset isn't expected to be released until September next year, but so much of Apple's existence is built around the iPhone 7. It is highly unlikely that the final design of the iPhone 7 is locked down, but it seems that the major components will be in place, reported Forbes.
"Amongst the claimed features of said prototypes there is talk of a USB Type-C port, which is certainly a surprise considering Apple's love for its own proprietary (and relatively new) Lightning port," said Richard Goodwin of Know Your Mobile. "It's said this USB Type-C port also supports headsets. Other features include wireless charging, 'multi-Force Touch', a dual-camera and a return of the previously rumoured under-display fingerprint scanner."
