Apple Retail Stores Price Match $50 Discount On iPhone 4S Ahead Of Imminent ‘iPhone 5′ Launch

his is probably a sign that Apple is planning to launch the new iPhone in September rather than in October.

We've already seen carriers like Sprint dropping the price of iPhone 4S by $50 and waiving the activation fee. But Macrumors now reports that they've received information that even Apple's retail stores have been given authorization to match these discounted prices for iPhone 4S from approved major retailers and carriers.



MacRumors reports:

In all cases, Apple will discount iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 models by $49.01 upon request to bring pricing down to $349.99/$249.99/$149.99 for the iPhone 4S and $49.99 for the iPhone 4. As with most price matching offers, consumers will likely need to cite the source offering the lower pricing in order for Apple to honor the price match.

So if you're planning to buy an iPhone 4S this month, please note that the discount is available only at Apple retail stores and not on Apple's online store, also remember to mention the source of the price drop as seen in the chart above to get the $50 discount. If you're planning to get one on Sprint, it makes sense to buy it from them rather than Apple retail stores as they're also waiving the $36 activation fee.

Are you be tempted to buy the iPhone 4S with this $50 discount? Or do you plan to wait for Apple to launch the new iPhone?
